Turn Travel Demand Into a Business Opportunity
Keep My Luggage connects travellers who need a convenient place for their bags with trusted local businesses. Join the network by earning from space you already have, or take a bigger role and develop Keep My Luggage across your city as a City Operator.
We have created two distinct partnership models because not every partner wants the same thing. Some businesses want a straightforward additional revenue stream from premises they already operate. Others want to build a larger local business, develop a network of Storage Hosts and participate in the long-term growth of an entire city market.
Choose How You Want to Grow With Us
Whether you want to monetise available space inside an existing business or develop an entire local network, Keep My Luggage provides a partnership route designed around the role you want to play.
Earn From Space You Already Have
A Storage Host is an approved local business that provides the physical location where Keep My Luggage customers leave their bags. The model is designed to work alongside an existing business rather than requiring you to launch a separate luggage-storage company.
Hotels, hostels, shops, cafés, tourism businesses, coworking spaces and other suitable staffed premises may be able to turn unused or underused space into an additional revenue stream while continuing to operate their normal business.
Keep My Luggage provides the customer-facing platform and booking infrastructure. Your team welcomes the traveller, verifies the reservation, accepts the luggage according to the operating process and returns it when the customer comes back to collect it.
Build Keep My Luggage in Your City
The City Operator opportunity is designed for entrepreneurs and local business developers who want to build something larger than a single luggage-storage point. Your focus is the development of the Keep My Luggage network across an agreed city or territory.
You identify high-potential parts of the market, approach suitable businesses that could become Storage Hosts, submit new locations for approval and work toward building convenient coverage around the places where travellers genuinely need luggage storage.
Instead of earning only from activity at one premises, the City Operator participates in the growth of a wider local network according to the responsibilities and commercial structure defined in the applicable City Operator agreement.
Travellers Want Their Time Back
Luggage storage solves a simple but recurring travel problem. Travellers often have hours available to enjoy a destination but nowhere convenient to leave their bags. Keep My Luggage turns suitable local businesses into practical storage points so travellers can use that time more freely.
Before Check-In
Travellers frequently arrive in a destination before their accommodation is ready. A convenient storage location allows them to start exploring instead of waiting with their bags.
After Check-Out
A morning hotel check-out followed by an evening flight, train or bus can leave travellers carrying luggage for most of their final day. Local storage gives them that time back.
During Day Visits
Visitors arriving by rail, bus, car, cruise or another form of transport may want to spend several hours in the city without pulling suitcases between attractions, restaurants and shops.
Turn Suitable Space Into Additional Revenue
The Storage Host model is designed to fit alongside an established business. You do not need to open a dedicated luggage-storage shop simply to participate. If your business already has suitable premises, reliable opening hours, staff and an appropriate place where luggage can be kept, you may be able to add luggage storage as another service.
Once an approved location is activated, travellers can discover it through Keep My Luggage and reserve storage through the platform. Relevant booking information is made available to the partner so staff can manage the customer’s arrival, luggage handover and later collection.
The opportunity is particularly useful for businesses located where travellers already move through the city. A well-positioned Storage Host can provide a valuable service while generating additional activity from space that might otherwise produce little or no revenue.
Potential Storage Hosts Include
What We Look For
Location approval is based on more than simply having an empty room. Travellers are trusting the partner with their belongings, so a strong Keep My Luggage location should provide a professional, reliable and convenient experience from drop-off through collection.
From Application to Your First Booking
The process is designed to remain straightforward for businesses while still protecting the quality and reliability of the network for travellers.

Tell us about your business, address, opening hours, premises and the luggage-storage capacity you can realistically provide.

Launch and Grow Keep My Luggage in Your Market
The City Operator model is designed for entrepreneurs and local business developers who want to build Keep My Luggage across an entire city or territory rather than operate a single luggage-storage location. You develop the local network, establish relationships with suitable businesses and help create convenient luggage-storage coverage wherever travellers need it most.
As a City Operator, your role is to understand how travellers move through your market and turn that knowledge into a strong local network. You identify the parts of the city where luggage storage has the greatest practical value, approach suitable businesses that could become Storage Hosts and help develop a network of approved locations across those areas.
This requires thinking strategically about the market as a whole. Railway stations, bus terminals, airports, city centres, accommodation districts, major attractions, shopping areas and other high-traffic visitor zones can all generate demand for luggage storage. Your objective is not simply to add the largest possible number of locations, but to create coverage that is useful to travellers.
Keep My Luggage provides the central brand, customer platform, booking infrastructure and operating framework. You focus on developing your local market, building strong relationships with potential Storage Hosts and helping create a reliable local network that travellers can use with confidence.
As the market develops, the City Operator participates financially according to the commercial structure defined in the applicable City Operator agreement. Territory, responsibilities, revenue participation, payout conditions, fees where applicable and any exclusivity arrangements are agreed before activation.
Your Role as City Operator

Develop the Keep My Luggage presence throughout your agreed market by identifying where travellers actually need storage and creating appropriate coverage around those areas.
Storage Host Acquisition
Identify and approach hotels, hostels, shops, cafés, travel businesses and other suitable local companies that could become reliable Keep My Luggage Storage Hosts.
Strategic Coverage
Build a balanced local network around transport hubs, city centres, accommodation clusters, visitor districts and other locations where luggage storage provides genuine practical value.
Local Relationships
Build professional relationships with local business owners and help create a network of partners that understand both the service and the expectations of travellers.
Network Quality
Help ensure local coverage remains reliable, professionally operated and geographically useful as additional Storage Hosts are introduced to the market.
Commercial Opportunity
Participate in the commercial development of the assigned market according to the revenue-sharing, payout and other financial terms defined in your approved City Operator agreement.
What Keep My Luggage Brings to the Partnership
You focus on building relationships and developing your local market. Keep My Luggage provides the central brand, technology and operating infrastructure that connects travellers, Storage Hosts and City Operators through one platform.
Keep My Luggage Brand
Develop your market within a consistent customer-facing brand rather than having to create a luggage-storage concept from the beginning.
Booking Platform
Travellers use the central Keep My Luggage platform to discover available storage locations, select an appropriate partner and complete their booking.
City Operator Dashboard
City Operators receive dedicated platform tools related to their assigned locations, submissions, network activity and other operator functions.
Storage Host Workflow
A structured submission and approval process provides a consistent way to introduce new potential Storage Hosts into the network.
Payment Infrastructure
Customer bookings and associated platform payment flows are managed centrally through the Keep My Luggage system.
Partner Materials
Approved branding, window stickers and partner materials help travellers recognise official Keep My Luggage locations when they arrive.
Operational Framework
Standard processes help maintain consistency as additional businesses, locations and markets become part of the Keep My Luggage network.
Scalable Network Model
The model is designed to grow through distributed local businesses rather than requiring a dedicated storage facility in every part of a city.
Ongoing Platform Development
The central technology and operating platform can continue to evolve while local operators remain focused on developing their markets and partner networks.
Could You Build a Strong Local Market?
The ideal City Operator does not necessarily need previous experience in luggage storage. Strong local knowledge, initiative, commercial judgement and the ability to build professional relationships can be considerably more important.
You should be comfortable approaching business owners, discussing a commercial opportunity, evaluating potential locations and developing a market over time. Building a useful city network requires persistence and judgement rather than simply signing up every business that shows interest.
Experience in hospitality, tourism, sales, business development, property, retail, local entrepreneurship or another relationship-driven industry can all be relevant. What matters most is whether you can understand the market, represent Keep My Luggage professionally and develop a strong network of local businesses.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Keep My Luggage Storage Host?
A Storage Host is an approved local business that provides a suitable physical location where travellers can leave luggage booked through the Keep My Luggage platform.
What is a City Operator?
A City Operator develops the Keep My Luggage network within an agreed city or territory. The role can include identifying potential Storage Hosts, developing local business relationships, submitting suitable locations for approval and building useful luggage-storage coverage across the market.
Is a City Operator the same as a Storage Host?
No. A Storage Host operates an individual luggage-storage location and physically handles customer bags. A City Operator develops the wider local network of Storage Hosts within an agreed market.
Can a City Operator also operate a Storage Host location?
Potentially, subject to the applicable City Operator agreement and separate approval of the proposed Storage Host location. The two roles remain operationally distinct even where the same person or business is involved in both.
What kinds of businesses can become Storage Hosts?
Potential locations can include hotels, hostels, retail businesses, cafés, travel businesses, coworking spaces and other suitable staffed premises. Every proposed location is subject to review and approval before becoming active on the network.
Do I need previous luggage-storage experience?
Not necessarily. Storage Hosts need appropriate premises and the ability to follow the operating process consistently. City Operators require strong local-market knowledge, business-development capability and the ability to build professional relationships with local businesses.
How much can a Storage Host earn?
Earnings depend on factors such as local customer demand, pricing, capacity, operating hours, availability and eligible completed bookings. Keep My Luggage does not provide a fixed income or booking guarantee.
How does a City Operator earn?
The commercial structure for a City Operator is defined in the applicable City Operator agreement. Revenue participation, territory, responsibilities, payout conditions, fees where applicable and other commercial terms are agreed before activation.
Is a City Operator territory automatically exclusive?
No exclusivity should be assumed unless it is expressly provided for in the signed City Operator agreement. Territory rights, performance conditions and other restrictions are determined as part of the commercial approval process.
Does Keep My Luggage guarantee bookings, turnover or profit?
No. Customer demand can vary according to destination, season, location, pricing, competition, partner availability, opening hours and many other factors. Approval as a Storage Host or City Operator does not constitute a guarantee of bookings, turnover or profitability.
Can I apply for a city where Keep My Luggage does not yet have locations?
Yes. City Operator applications can be considered for new markets. We review the proposed city, market opportunity and applicant before deciding whether to progress with the opportunity.
Can I apply as both a Storage Host and a City Operator?
Yes, you may express interest in both opportunities. Each role is assessed separately because operating an individual storage location and developing a city-wide partner network involve different responsibilities and approval criteria.
What Could Keep My Luggage Become in Your Market?
If you already operate a suitable local business, your available space could become an additional revenue opportunity as a Storage Host. If you have the ambition, local knowledge and commercial ability to build something larger, talk to us about developing Keep My Luggage across your market as a City Operator.
