Travel Lighter. Explore Further.
We've turned the nightmare of luggage storage into a seamless, high-end experience that fits in your pocket.
Search & Secure Your Spot
Look, nobody has time for "walk-ins" when they're on a tight schedule. That's why everything with Schwartz Travel starts on your phone. Just punch in where you are—maybe you're near the Calgary Stampede or just hopped off the train in Ottawa—and we'll show you the closest vetted hosts.
You'll see real photos of the location, check their opening hours (some are 24/7!), and see exactly what it'll cost. Once you find a spot that fits your route, you can book it in under 60 seconds. We'll send you an instant confirmation with the exact address and drop-off instructions. Honestly, it's probably the easiest part of your entire trip planning.
- Real-time availability
- Instant digital receipts
- No account required for quick booking
Drop Off with Confidence
Now for the magic part. Head over to your chosen host. Since we only partner with high-end shops, boutique hotels, and trusted local businesses, you won't be dropping your bags in some dark, dusty corner. Most of our hosts have a dedicated, secure storage room or a locked area behind the service counter.
Just show the host your confirmation on your phone. They'll tag your bags, give you a digital or physical "claim check," and you're good to go. It usually takes less time than ordering a coffee. Plus, every bag you leave with us is covered by our $1,000 Schwartz Protection. We've noticed that most travelers feel a physical sense of relief the moment they hand over their heavy suitcases.
- High-security vetting for all hosts
- Tamper-proof seals available
- $1,000 protection included
Go Explore—Pick Up When Ready
This is why we do what we do. You're now completely free to roam. Go grab that famous Montreal smoked meat, take the ferry over to Toronto Island, or hike around Stanley Park in Vancouver. You're not worrying about your bags being stolen, and you're definitely not sweating through your shirt trying to lift them over a curb.
When you're ready to head to the airport or train station, just swing back by the host location. Show them your claim check, grab your bags, and you're on your way. If your plans change (as they often do!), you can easily extend your storage time through the app or website. Honestly, once you've traveled "Schwartz style," you'll probably never go back to the old way.
- Flexible pick-up times
- Easy storage extensions
- 24/7 Canadian customer support
Let's Talk About the "Locker Problem" in Canada
If you've ever tried to find a locker in a Canadian train station or airport recently, you know the struggle. Most of them have been removed for "security reasons," and the few that remain are often sized for a briefcase, not a modern suitcase. And don't even get us started on the price—paying $20 for four hours in a metal box that smells like 1985? No thanks.
In our experience, the traditional storage options just haven't kept up with how people actually travel today. Most of us are staying in rentals, taking late flights, and wanting to maximize every single minute of our vacation. We've noticed that travelers are looking for something that's not just "functional," but also "trustworthy."
That's why our "How It Works" isn't just about the three steps above. It's about the dozens of background checks we do on every host. It's about the insurance policy we keep active so you don't have to worry. And it's about the local business owners who actually care about helping travelers discover their city. When you drop your bag at a Schwartz host in Toronto's Kensington Market, you're not just getting a storage spot—you're probably getting a recommendation for the best taco place in the city, too.
So, the bottom line is: we've built this service for us. We're travelers too, and we were tired of the "luggage problem" ruining our last day of vacation. We think you'll find our process to be pretty straightforward, highly secure, and—honestly—a bit of a lifesaver.
