Our take
Bounce is offering a convenient solution for travellers around the world who need to store their luggage temporarily. Founded by CEO Cody Candee, Bounce was born out of his own experiences of constantly being on the go and struggling to find a reliable and affordable way to store his luggage while exploring new cities.
With Bounce, travellers can easily find nearby locations to drop off their bags, freeing themselves of the burden of carrying heavy bags while sightseeing or attending business meetings, with users being able to book and pay for storage space through its website or mobile app.
Since its inception in 2018, Bounce has quickly grown to become a trusted and reliable option for luggage storage across the globe and now has locations in a number of major cities, including New York, London, Paris, Melbourne, and Tokyo. As the company continues to expand its reach and build its reputation, it is exploring new ways to enhance its services to better meet the needs of its customers. With its innovative and customer-focused approach, Bounce is poised to remain a leader in the luggage storage industry for years to come.
