Bounce

Global luggage storage network via partners

Overview

Bounce is an app-based platform that offers a global luggage storage network by connecting travelers with local businesses that have unused space. Travelers search for storage locations in the Bounce app, choose dates and items to store, and book a space at nearby hotels, cafes, or shops, paying a flat daily rate online with added security like item tags and up to $10,000 of protection. The model is asset-light, as Bounce partners with existing businesses to use their underutilized space, allowing rapid scale and creating new revenue for partners. The company's goal is to give people freedom from carrying their belongings and provide on-demand storage access wherever travelers go.

Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • Bounce acquired Nannybag in February 2026, adding France and Italy inventory.
  • Lawson started Bounce storage in Tokyo on September 8, 2026, widening distribution.
  • JTB’s August 2026 Shinkansen delivery linkage expands Bounce from storage into logistics.

What critics are saying

  • Airbnb launched Bounce bookings in May 2026, compressing Bounce’s direct customer ownership.
  • Radical Storage and Stasher still compete on Europe pricing and short-stay use cases.
  • If Japan partners like Lawson or JTB internalize demand, Bounce becomes replaceable.

What makes Bounce unique

  • Bounce spans 4,000 cities and 32,000+ locations as of September 2026.
  • Bounce’s asset-light model uses Lawson, JTB, and local shops instead of owned storage.
  • Bounce pairs booking, multilingual support, and $10,000 protection inside one app experience.

JTB forms a partnership with 'Bounce' to deliver travelers' baggage on Shinkansen on the same day.

JTB forms a partnership with 'Bounce' to deliver travelers' baggage on Shinkansen on the same day. Aug 26, 2026 JTB and baggage storage service provider Bounce launched the system linkage between JTB baggage delivery platform 'LUGGAGE EXPRESS' and the Bounce app. Through this partnership, they will provide "same-day long-distance delivery" services, such as between Tokyo and Kyoto/Osaka, using the Tokaido Shinkansen, as well as "same-day airport delivery" services transporting packages from Tokyo's 23 wards to Haneda and Narita airports. JTB will handle the actual delivery operations (utilizing the Shinkansen and other modes) and provide the coordination system, while Bounce will manage in-app booking, multilingual support, and payment processing. They aim to meet the growing demand for luggage delivery services among international tourists visiting Japan and to alleviate the workload on front-desk staff at accommodations. As travelers will be able to complete delivery arrangements and payments entirely within the Bounce app, accommodations only need to hand over the luggage to the delivery personnel, resulting in a significant reduction in operational workload. The service will be offers in September 2026 for accommodations in Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka areas first.
