Luggage storage in Punta Cana

Checking out of a Punta Cana rental hours before a late flight leaves you with time to kill and bags to manage. We'll help you find the best nearby alternatives for your bags.

The airport has no luggage storage at all, and the local minibuses that connect it to the resort areas can't handle suitcases either. Getting to Bávaro or elsewhere with bags means booking a private transfer or taxi rather than relying on public transport. The main bus terminal at Friusa does offer intercity connections, though that's only useful once you've already reached it. The area's 50 kilometres of white-sand beaches are the main reason many travellers visit. Bávaro lies north of the airport along the coast, with drive times of 15 to 35 minutes depending on your resort. Cap Cana is an exclusive gated area south of the airport with its own marina and high-end resorts. With Stasher, you can store bags from US$1.49 per bag per day.

Some top Stasher locations in Punta Cana include:

Arriving at Punta Cana Airport with luggage

Punta Cana International Airport does not provide luggage storage services for travellers, so there's no desk or locker to leave a bag at while you wait for a flight. There's also no public transit serving the airport directly, which means every onward journey starts with a private transfer, taxi, or resort shuttle. The local guaguas — minibuses that run from Verón to the airport — have no space for suitcases, making them unsuitable for anyone travelling with large luggage. Reaching the main tourist area by guagua also means changing buses in Verón, which is impractical with bags in tow.

Getting around the resort areas

If you're moving between areas with bags, Dominican Bus allows up to 30 kg of baggage free of charge on its services, though international routes carry specific dimension and weight limits. Friusa in Bávaro is the region's central bus terminal, with connections to Santo Domingo, Higüey, La Romana, and Miches.

For a day out without luggage, Punta Blanca Mall offers free transportation from hotels to the mall for visitors.

If you need to secure a bag before a flight, Punta Cana Airport provides luggage protection services in the Terminal A departures area, though this is wrapping and safeguarding rather than storage. Public transport from Punta Cana International Airport requires taking a bus to Cruce de Verón, where passengers can transfer to a bus heading towards the Bávaro area.
