Tips

Incident Fee
If a customer reports an incident during your storage location's stated operating hours, an incident fee of 5 USD / 3.85 GBP / 4.60 EUR / 35 DKK may be applied. This fee is intended to mitigate the impact on LuggageHero and the platform, as each reported incident inconveniences the customer and affects the brand's reputation and credibility. The fee may vary depending on the severity and nature of the incident.
You can dispute a reported incident within 15 days of the issue being raised. During this period, you can provide evidence or additional information to clarify the situation and have the fee waived or reduced.
For incidents such as "Location closed on arrival," the fee will be automatically waived if other customers have successfully checked in during the same timeframe, confirming the location was operational.
Customer Booking Fees
Mandatory Fees
Customers booking for luggage storage are charged fees for the service directly by LuggageHero.
Optional Fees
Customers may opt for additional services with applicable fees, such as extra coverage or insurance.
VAT and Adjustments
VAT Charges
Applicable VAT is added to fees as per jurisdiction laws. Learn more about value-added tax (VAT) and how it applies to you.
Other Considerations
Currency exchange rates and customer experience-based refunds can affect payouts.
HeroCode Bookings
Reduced Commission for Self-Acquired Bookings
We significantly reduce the storage fee commission for bookings generated through your HeroCode. Regular fixed and payment processing fees will still apply according to the pricing structure. Please visit Stripe—Pricing and Fees for an updated list of applicable transactional fees.

By reducing our commission, we empower you to benefit more from your physical presence and direct customer interactions, reinforcing our commitment to support and value your partnership.
B2C fees
Customers can add additional baggage coverage or insurance during the booking process. Other fees for customers may apply.
Our commission and fee structures are designed to balance operational costs with our partners' growth. We are committed to transparency and support.
