Luggage Storage at Ezeiza Airport (EZE)
For years, it was one of the most requested services by travelers: a safe place to leave their suitcases. Finally, Ezeiza Airport has incorporated an official luggage storage service. This new option, along with other alternatives inside and outside the airport, solves the problem of what to do with your bags during a long layover or if you want to enjoy your last hours in the city without carrying weight. This guide, based on available information and user experience, breaks down everything you need to know to use these services efficiently.
Frequently Asked Questions about Luggage Storage
Where exactly is the luggage storage service located?
The official airport service, with self-service lockers, is located in the International Arrivals Terminal (former Terminal A), in the public area, right in front of the H gate sector.
How does the booking and payment process work?
The main system for the official lockers is through online purchase at the Aeropuertos Argentina Store. After payment, you receive a QR code in your email that you use to open and close the locker. It is not a direct payment system on site.
Is the service expensive?
Yes, it follows airport pricing logic. The July 2025 rates for the official lockers are around $15 USD for 4 hours or $30 USD for 24 hours. Alternatives in the city, like Qeepl, are considerably cheaper (from $3.69 USD per day), but less convenient for a layover.
What if I want to leave my bags to visit the city?
In that case, services like Qeepl or LuggageHero are ideal. They have multiple storage points in hotels and shops throughout Buenos Aires. They allow you to leave your luggage near the area you want to visit and pick it up before heading to the airport, being a more economical and practical option than returning to Ezeiza just for your bags.

Traveler's Manual: Critical Points to Watch
Online Reservation is Practically Mandatory
The locker system is designed to work with a prior online reservation. Arriving at the airport expecting to pay with a card directly at a terminal can lead to frustration, as the main method is through the official website and the use of a QR code.
Limited Operating Hours
The official airport service does not operate 24 hours. Its hours are from 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM. This is a critical limitation for passengers arriving on night flights or departing in the early morning who need to access their luggage outside of this time frame.
Single Location in One Terminal
The service is located exclusively in the International Arrivals Terminal. If you are in the departures terminal or the domestic arrivals terminal, you will have to take a long walk with all your luggage to reach the lockers.
The Cost of Convenience
While having the service inside the airport is very convenient, the price per hour or per day is significantly higher than any alternative outside the premises. You must weigh whether the convenience of not leaving Ezeiza justifies the high cost.
Detailed Options for Storing Your Luggage
1. Official Airport Service (AA2000 Lockers)
This is the newest and most convenient option for those who do not want to leave the airport. It is a facility with self-service lockers and a counter for larger items.
- Location: International Arrivals Terminal, public area, opposite gate H.
- Hours: Every day, from 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM.
- Size: The lockers can hold items up to 120 liters (maximum dimensions: 46cm x 90cm x 75cm).
- Rates (July 2025): Approximately $15 USD for 4 hours and $30 USD for 24 hours. It is recommended to check the updated rate on the official website.
- Process: You must book and pay online. You will receive a QR code to operate your locker.
User Experience:
The addition of the service is highly celebrated. The main advantage is the convenience and security of leaving luggage inside the terminal. However, the limited hours and the online reservation requirement are the main friction points that travelers must plan for in advance.
2. My Pod Capsule Ezeiza
A third-party alternative also located within the airport grounds, which combines luggage storage with the possibility of resting.
- Location: Near the arrivals terminal.
- Services: It offers both luggage lockers and private sleeping capsules by the hour.
- Process: It is essential to book in advance through their website, as availability is limited.
User Experience:
It is an excellent option for very long layovers where you need to rest in addition to storing your luggage. The cost is higher, but the dual service (rest + storage) justifies it for many travelers.
3. Services in the City (Qeepl, LuggageHero, etc.)
These platforms connect travelers with a network of hotels, shops, and businesses in Buenos Aires that function as luggage storage points.
- Location: Multiple points throughout the city (Palermo, Centro, San Telmo, etc.).
- Rates: Much more economical, with prices that can start at $3.69 USD per day per bag.
- Process: You book and pay through the provider's app or website.
User Experience:
This is the perfect solution for those who arrive in the morning and their accommodation is not available until the afternoon, or for those who check out early and have a night flight. It allows you to enjoy the city without carrying your bags, at a very low cost. It is not a practical option for a short layover at the airport.
