Business Trip Day-Use Storage — Meeting Between Flight + Hotel
Fly in, meet, fly out — no hotel booked. Where does the roll-aboard go during the pitch.
The one-day business trip — fly in early, meet at 10:00-14:00, fly out same evening — is common in finance, sales, and management consulting. No hotel = nowhere to drop the roll-aboard. Meeting rooms don't accept luggage. Office building reception sometimes accepts it (varies wildly by security policy) but no guarantees. Radical Storage partners in central business districts (CBDs) of major cities charge €5-8 for full-day storage 3-5 min walk from most meeting locations. Cheaper than a day-use hotel room + faster than expensing airport left-luggage.

FAQs
Can I use my client's office to store bags?
Depends entirely on the client's security policy. Investment banks, government offices, and secure buildings usually refuse (badge-only access, no visitor luggage). Startups + creative agencies often accept. Ask your host in advance — but have Radical Storage as backup.
Airport lockers vs city drop for business travellers?
Airport lockers work if your meeting is airport-adjacent (aerocity hotels, near-terminal offices). For CBD meetings, city drop saves 30-60 min per trip because you skip the airport-to-city round trip for bag retrieval.
Is Radical Storage secure for a laptop?
Yes — Radical Storage includes €3,000/bag insurance in every booking. Verified partner network. That said: for high-security items (client documents, hardware tokens), keep them on you rather than in stored luggage. Store the roll-aboard with clothes + toiletries, keep the laptop in your day bag.
What if my meeting runs late?
Most Radical Storage partners open 08:00-22:00. If you booked pickup at 18:00 and the meeting runs to 20:00, message the partner via the app. Small overrun fee ($2-5). Never abandon a bag — always communicate the delay.
