CityStasher runs a marketplace of partner shops and venues that store travellers' luggage on an hourly basis, marketed as an 'Airbnb for luggage'. Its core product connects travellers who need short-term luggage storage with local businesses that monetise spare space as StashPoints. The startup says it already has about 200 StashPoints across the U.K., Paris, Amsterdam and Berlin. Typical customers are young travellers in their 20s and 30s, as well as families, business travellers and some local residents. CityStasher highlights a price and convenience advantage versus station luggage facilities and aims to partner with venues that otherwise ban bags. The company raised seed funding to support international expansion and trials with major budget hotel chains.
