Practical tips for storing luggage in Budapest
- Currency matters - Hungary uses the Forint (HUF), not the Euro. Airport storage charges in HUF, storage apps charge in Euros. Use an ATM for HUF - skip the exchange desks in arrivals, the rates are terrible
- Keleti lockers need coins - No card payments on the coin lockers. Get HUF coins from a shop or the metro ticket machine before heading down to the basement
- Airport storage closes at 10pm - Late-night arrival? You're stuck until 6am. Book a Bounce or Stasher location in the city center with late drop-off hours instead
- Book ahead during peak season - Summer (June-August) and Formula 1 weekend (Hungaroring) fill up city center storage spots. Book on Bounce or Stasher early to guarantee a spot
- Keep your receipt - You'll need it to collect bags from both the airport storage and the Keleti lockers
