If you’ve ever found yourself stuck dragging your suitcase around after a hotel check-out or killing time before a late-night flight, Baggage Taxi might just become your new favourite travel hack. After making waves in the UAE, this on-demand luggage pick-up, storage, and delivery service has officially launched in the UK – and it’s a game-changer.
I used it after my Costa Smeralda cruise in Dubai when my flight was later in that evening. It was such a saviour! The driver picked my bags up from the Dubai Cruise Terminal at 10am, and dropped them off at 5pm at Dubai airport! I was able to stay in constant communication with the driver via WhatsApp! So easy.
Taxi Meets Storage:
Imagine Uber, but for your luggage. Baggage Taxi offers a convenient solution for travellers who want to explore freely without being weighed down by bags. Whether you’re coming from a hotel, heading to the airport, or simply don’t want to haul your cases around town, the service steps in to make it seamless.
Key Features:
- On-demand collection: Pick-up from anywhere – your hotel, AirBnb, train station, or even a shopping centre.
- Secure storage: Bags are sealed, insured (up to $1,000), and stored in CCTV-monitored facilities. Every bag is secured with tamper free seals.
- Flexible delivery: Get your luggage delivered where you need it, when you need it.
- 24/7 support: Book and track through the app or WhatsApp, with customer service available around the clock.
Who’s It For?
- Tourists: Have time to kill before your flight or train? Store your bags and make the most of your day.
- Business travellers: Ditch your suitcase during meetings or client visits.
- Families & groups: Too many bags for one cab? Let Baggage Taxi handle it.
- Anyone with awkward check-out/in times: No more waiting around at hotel lobbies or overpaying for late check-outs.
How It Works:
- Book online or via app: Choose your pickup/drop-off time and location.
- Pickup: A driver collects your bags, seals them, and provides live tracking.
- Storage or delivery: Bags can be stored securely or delivered directly to your next destination.
- Return: Your luggage arrives on time, right where you need it.
Pricing in the UK is still being finalised, but if the UAE model is anything to go by, expect affordable rates starting around £6–£10 per bag for short-term storage and delivery options.
