Very good location and the drop off and pickup was so easy. We were a bit worried when we picked up, no I'd asked and the person was different, but maybe they did know we were coming.
- Rachel
Brilliant - felt very smooth and secure
- Janice
Easy to book online. The Santa Monica clothes repair guy was friendly and helpful. We felt our bags were secure because the shop was locked and you had to use the doorbell to get him to come and open the door for you.

This couldn’t have gone better. We booked online just 30 minutes before we got to Santa Monica. It was easy to drop off our bags and to pick them up 3 hours later after we’d explored the beach and the pier. The only thing that was a little confusing was the name of the shop (I don’t remember if there was even a sign out front, we just looked for the address number) so that could have been a little clearer. But overall we were really happy with the service.
- Heather
Super easy and straightforward! I was hesitant as I’d never used a service like this before. It was so simple and easy, the shop owner was very nice.
- Stacey
It was great!! I only wish we could have paid by the hour, we had to pay a a 24 hour rate and we were only there for 2 hours.

It was great to be able to drop 'n flop in Santa Monica. The staff at the Bike Center were friendly and helpful and it was in a perfect location.

Storage across Santa Monica
Checking out of a beach rental hours before a late flight can leave you carrying more than you want. Stasher can take the bag so the rest of Santa Monica is yours.
The coast is easy to reach by transit with a suitcase, and this guide explains how to manage one on the way in, around, or out. The area around the main sights is walkable, though the practical limits on luggage vary by what you are riding or doing. The Santa Monica Pier does not provide any lockers or personal storage space for visitors. The Third Street Promenade is a pedestrian-only hub in downtown Santa Monica known for open-air shopping, dining, and street entertainment. The Santa Monica History Museum is located at 1350 7th Street in the heart of Santa Monica. With Stasher, you can store bags from $6.38 per bag per day.

Arriving and leaving with luggage
If you're coming in by transit, the Downtown Santa Monica Station is just a 5-minute walk from the Santa Monica Pier and Tongva Park, making it a natural starting point for the main sights. From there, Big Blue Bus Route 3 runs to the LAX/Metro Transit Center, where a free shuttle connects to the LAX terminals, so the coast and the airport are linked without a car.
On Big Blue Bus, luggage can't block the aisle or door, and a single item may sit on the front wheel well only if you hold it firmly at all times. Across Metro vehicles and facilities, large luggage that creates an unsafe condition is prohibited, and any luggage in Metro facilities has to go via elevators or ramps rather than escalators.
Getting around and exploring with bags
On LA Metro rail more broadly, luggage and large items have a designated space at the end of each rail car, marked with a yellow decal, so you'll know where to put a suitcase if you're using that network.
The Museum of Illusions Santa Monica is about a 10-minute walk from the Downtown Santa Monica Station, so you can easily combine the two in one outing on foot. If you're here for the BINGE Fringe Festival of Free Theatre, running from October 13 to November 20, 2026, you'll likely be spending hours on foot, which is another reason to travel light.
