Paris Bag Storage Questions, Answered Plainly

That commission is the entire business model, and it is stated up front because you are handing a suitcase to a stranger. You deserve to know whose name is on the receipt, whose terms apply and who pays whom. The answer is Radical Storage: it signs the shops, hotels and cafes, it takes the booking and its Guarantee sits behind every drop-off. This site writes about those points; it does not run them.

No. The price you pay is Radical Storage's own published rate, and this site adds no charge on top of it. The commission comes from Radical Storage's side of the transaction, not from a markup on your bag. If a location shows EUR 3.90 per bag per day, that is the day rate you will see when you reserve, before the checkout fee described below.

On Radical Storage's own platform. Links from this site lead to Radical Storage, where you pick a point, pay and receive a confirmation to show at the counter. The shop staff never see this site and owe it nothing. If something goes wrong with a booking, a refund or a pickup, the conversation happens with Radical Storage's support, not here.

Hours are the clearest example. A storage point is usually an ordinary business with ordinary shop hours, and those hours differ from point to point, so they are never generalised across the city. Ratings shown on location pages belong to Radical Storage's own post-booking reviews, not to this site. Where a point has no rating yet, it is described as having none, because that is the honest position.

Across Paris, the rate to expect is EUR 3.90 per bag per day. Radical Storage then adds EUR 1.99 per bag at checkout, charged once per bag rather than per night. One bag for one day comes to EUR 5.89; the same bag kept for three days comes to EUR 13.69. Radical Storage advertises "from EUR 1.90/day", but that is a global marketing floor, and only a small cluster of Paris points, observed around Bercy, actually shows it.

Calling the Guarantee insurance would overstate it, and leading with the headline number would too. The figure that governs a claim is the cap: no single claim can pay more than EUR 3,000. The EUR 10,000 figure Radical Storage advertises is the headline total sitting above that cap. Read their terms before reserving if the contents of your bag are valuable, and consider keeping electronics with you regardless.

Cancellation is governed by Radical Storage's terms, which are shown during its own booking flow before you pay. This site sets no cancellation policy, handles no money and cannot reverse a charge, so the terms you accept at checkout are the ones that count. Read them there rather than relying on any summary, including this one, since policies can change between the time this was written and the day you book.

Pickup works the same way in reverse: come back before the point closes, show your confirmation, collect the bag. Because each location sets its own hours, a late-evening train may rule out a point that shuts at 20:00. Radical Storage's Paris map lists the hours for each location, so match the closing time to your departure, not the other way round.

That gap surprises people arriving by plane, so it is worth repeating plainly: there is no Radical Storage desk at CDG, none at Orly, and no terminal, counter or meeting point to invent in their place. If your plan is land, store, then head into the city, the storage happens after the transfer, at a station or a district point. Plan the RER or train leg with the bag, then drop it once you reach the cluster nearest your day.

SNCF still runs consignes at some mainline stations, and they are a real alternative worth weighing. Radical Storage's Paris rate is EUR 3.90 per bag per day plus a EUR 1.99 checkout fee, while station lockers publish their own prices, which can be higher and, in SNCF's own words, can be full on busy days. Neither option exists at CDG or Orly.

Dropping a bag works the same way across the Radical Storage network in Paris. You reserve a spot, walk into the partner business, which may be a hotel, a shop or a cafe, and hand over your bag. The staff member records the drop-off and gives you a reference to present on pickup. You pay per bag per day, and the rate you should expect in Paris is EUR 3.90, with a EUR 1.99 per-bag fee added at checkout. One bag for one day comes to EUR 5.89 in total.
