Luggage storage at the station and airport

Charlotte sees plenty of visitors who land hours before a rental is ready or leave long after checkout, with a bag and no place to put it.

Several major venues and attractions have tight size limits or no storage at all, while the airport and transit routes that connect them offer workable but specific bag policies with exact limits. The airport itself has no official luggage storage or lockers, so you'll need to arrange a drop-off before heading into the terminal. With Stasher, you can store bags from $2.49 per bag per day.

Some top Stasher locations in Charlotte include:

• Postal service near Charlotte Douglas International Airport
• Local shop near Goodwill - Ballantyne

Local hosts include postal services and local shops. Every booking comes with the Stasher Guarantee, which protects your bags up to US$13,000. Stasher storage in Charlotte can be booked through the website or app.

Arriving and getting around Charlotte with luggage

Charlotte is a major highway, rail and air hub in the Piedmont region of the south-eastern U.S., and its bus network is strict but workable with bags. The CATS Sprinter (Route 5) connects the airport to the Charlotte Transportation Center in the city centre, so it's the main way in without a car. On regular CATS buses, strollers and small items must be carried on rather than stowed, and aisles stay clear. On CATS Micro, shopping bags are fine if they don't take a seat and you can manage them yourself—drivers won't help. CATS STS is the one service where the driver can assist, but only with groceries and lightweight packages, up to four per trip.

Luggage storage and bag rules at attractions

The Mint Museum won't let any bag 11 x 17 x 5 inches or larger into its galleries, though complimentary lockers on-site cover those. Spectrum Center is far tighter—only bags up to 5 x 7 x 1.5 inches, with no general storage provided, so anything bigger has to stay elsewhere before you go in.

The Carolina Theatre asks guests to arrive essentially bag-free, permitting only clutch-size bags, small purses, diaper bags and certain medical bags, with backpacks prohibited. The Fillmore Charlotte + The Underground allows bags up to 12 x 6 x 12 inches, which is more generous but still rules out larger backpacks.

Bank of America Stadium's clear-bag policy permits only transparent bags up to 12 x 6 x 12 inches or non-transparent clutches no bigger than 4.5 x 6.5 inches—backpacks of any kind aren't allowed.

Near the Spectrum Center, the 7th Street Station sits beside The Market at 7th Street, and the Spectrum Center is two blocks from Trade and Tryon streets, so nearby dining and transit both sit close to strict bag rules. With attractions this varied, Stasher's coverage across Charlotte—including near Bank of America Stadium and Charlotte Douglas International Airport—gives you a place to drop a bag before hitting the gate.
