Luggage Storage vs. Luggage Delivery in Salt Lake City & Park City: Which is Better?

Travelers at Salt Lake City International Airport can opt for luggage storage or delivery. Storage requires drop-off and pickup, while delivery sends bags directly to hotels or rentals in Salt Lake City or Park City. Delivery is favored for ski trips, conventions, and business travel as it saves 60–120 minutes and removes the need for rental cars or parking.

Are you in the luggage limbo? What to do with your bags before your room is ready or have a late flight after check-out?

What Is Luggage Storage?

Luggage storage allows travelers to leave their bags in a secure, fixed location such as:

• A hotel bell desk

• A locker system

• A third-party storage facility

• A rental car that only gets driven for a few miles

The Reality: You still have to haul your gear from the airport to the storage spot, then back again later.

What Is Luggage Delivery?

With airport luggage delivery:

• Bags are collected at baggage claim or from lodging

• Luggage is delivered directly to hotels, vacation rentals, offices, or ski resorts in Salt Lake City or Park City

• Travelers move hands-free from arrival to destination

This service is a game-changer for ski trips, business travel, convention-goers, families, and large groups who want to skip the carousel and optimize their travel.
