Understanding Dynamic Pricing at LuggageHero

How our dynamic pricing works and the various components involved.

Updated yesterday

At LuggageHero, we use a dynamic pricing model to help partners maximize earnings while ensuring travelers receive competitive, fair rates.

This article explains how dynamic pricing works, including surge pricing, partner levels, and how to view your current storage rates.


Purpose

To explain how LuggageHero’s dynamic pricing system determines partner earnings and storage rates.

Applies to

  • Platform: LuggageHero Partner Dashboard

  • Audience: All Partner Locations


1. What is dynamic pricing?

LuggageHero’s dynamic pricing system adjusts rates based on location, demand, and market conditions.
This ensures partners earn optimal revenue during high-demand periods and remain competitive during slower times.

Pricing factors include:

  • Location popularity and traffic

  • Seasonal travel patterns

  • Local events and holidays

  • Partner performance metrics

Goal: Balance fair pricing for travelers with increased earning potential for partners.


2. Surge pricing during high demand

When demand increases significantly (e.g., holidays, festivals, or local events), surge pricing is automatically activated.

During surge periods:

  • The rate per bag increases temporarily.

  • Customers see the adjusted rate before booking.

  • Partners earn proportionally more per booking.

This helps ensure consistent availability and fair compensation during busy travel seasons.


3. Partner-leveled pricing

To reward partners for performance and reliability, LuggageHero uses a tiered pricing structure:

Partner Level

Description

Base Rate Adjustment

HeroBasic

New or low-volume partners

Standard base rate

HeroPro

Consistent partners with positive ratings

Slightly higher rate

HeroPremium

Top-rated partners with high booking volume and minimal incidents

Highest base rate

Your level is determined by factors such as:

  • Monthly booking volume

  • Customer ratings and feedback

  • Incident ratio and operational reliability

  • Registering walk-in through your HeroCode

Partner levels are reviewed periodically and may be adjusted as performance metrics change.


4. Viewing your current rates

You can always view your current storage rates by logging into your Partner Dashboard:

  1. Click “My Location”

  2. View your current rate under Pricing & Details

The rates displayed will automatically reflect:

  • Your current partner level

  • Any active surge pricing

  • Adjustments based on local market conditions


5. Benefits of dynamic pricing

LuggageHero’s pricing model benefits both partners and customers by ensuring:

  • Fairness. Prices reflect real-time demand and partner performance.

  • Higher earnings: Partners earn more during peak times and as their performance improves.

  • Balanced marketplace: Customers enjoy competitive rates with reliable availability.

Dynamic pricing helps maintain a sustainable, transparent, and mutually beneficial ecosystem.
