Newark Penn Station Luggage Storage

Visitors to New York can spend hours wandering through the dazzling city streets, but it’s not quite as much fun while wearing a heavy backpack and trying to wrangle a couple of suitcases. Whether you’re entering the city through Penn Station Newark or one of NYC’s other train stations or airports, Qeepl’s convenient and cost-effective luggage storage in the center of downtown New York is the perfect solution when it comes to making your trip a bit easier.

Not to be confused with downtown Manhattan’s Penn Station, Penn Station Newark is an Amtrak and New Jersey Transit station located near Newark Liberty International Airport. The station services Amtrak, Newark Light Rail, and PATH trains, as well as several commuter rail lines that connect New Jersey to New York City. Residents of Newark and nearby New Jersey cities that work in New York City frequently pass through Penn Station Newark while commuting, as well as visitors to the NYC area that choose Newark Liberty International Airport instead of one of the two NYC airports located within the state of New York.

Penn Station Newark and Amtrak’s new Moynihan Train Hall at downtown NYC’s Penn Station both offer storage service and it costs $10 per bag for up to 24 hours for customers with a current Amtrak ticket and $20 per bag for up to 24 hours for visitors without an Amtrak ticket. However, most train stations and airports no longer offer lockers for security reasons. Although some hotels in the area offer luggage storage, many limits this option to registered guests, and those that will hold bags for tourists who are not their guests typically charge a high fee. Fortunately, there are more convenient and cost-effective options available in New York and many other major cities.

At Qeepl, we have created an innovative solution in response to the lack of luggage storage space available in New York and throughout the United States. No one wants to spend half a day dragging heavy suitcases around NYC while waiting to check into a hotel or after checking out, and we’re here to make exploring the Big Apple and several other major cities a bit more convenient. We connect you with verified businesses that will store your bags for you for a small fee. We currently offer luggage storage near Penn Station, NY, as well as a handful of other locations and major cities across the city, with plans to add more in the future. Each booking includes a security seal for your luggage and a label with your contact information, free cancellation, and insurance.
