Your ship docks in Buenos Aires in the morning and your flight leaves at night. That gives you a free day in the city, and a pile of suitcases. The first thing to know: there are no lockers and no luggage storage at the Buenos Aires cruise terminal.
The good news is that there is staffed luggage storage about 10 minutes by taxi from the port, right downtown. Here is how it works, and the opening hours you need to plan around.
Are there lockers or luggage storage at the Quinquela Martín cruise terminal?
No. The Benito Quinquela Martín Cruise Terminal, at Av. Ramón Castillo and Av. de los Inmigrantes, has no lockers and no luggage storage service for passengers.
The terminal does have a baggage hall, but it is part of the ships' embarkation and disembarkation process. It is not a place to leave your bags for a few hours and come back for them.
There is also no subway or convenient bus at the gate, and walking out of the port with suitcases is not a good idea. Most passengers leave by taxi or a pre-booked transfer.
Where to find luggage storage near the cruise port
If you were looking for lockers or luggage storage near the port, the closest Luggage Storage BA location is our Centro store:
- Address: Maipú 814, Retiro, about 10 minutes by taxi from the terminal.
- Hours: every day, 10:00 to 19:00.
- Booking: not needed. Walk in, drop your bags and go.
- Price: AR$ 4,500 per backpack and AR$ 9,000 per suitcase, per calendar day.
From there you are steps from Plaza San Martín, Florida Street and Galerías Pacífico, so you can start exploring as soon as your bags are stored. See the page for luggage storage in Retiro for details.
Two times to check before you plan your day
If you disembark early. The Centro store opens at 10:00. If you are off the ship before that, have breakfast nearby and wait, or head to our luggage storage in Palermo, which opens at 9:00.
If you have a night flight. The Centro store closes at 19:00, and you must collect your bags before then. If you need more time, Palermo stays open until 21:00 and is closer to Aeroparque airport.
Details of the service are on our luggage pickup and delivery page. And always leave extra time to reach the airport: afternoon traffic in Buenos Aires can double what the map says.
If your cruise starts in Buenos Aires
It is the same problem in reverse. If you land in the morning and board in the afternoon, or have to check out at 10:00, you can use the Centro luggage storage and pick up your bags on the way to the port.
