Port Authority Bus Terminal luggage storage

Recommendation

Port Authority does not provide baggage storage inside the bus terminal. Reserve a nearby partner around 42nd Street, Times Square or your Midtown hotel route instead.

Choose storage close to the terminal when you are returning for a bus. Store nearer your final Midtown stop when that avoids carrying bags back across Times Square.

Choose storage for your Midtown route

The right location depends on whether you are returning to Port Authority or finishing elsewhere around Times Square and Midtown.
