Store Your Luggage around Savannah with Bounce

The oldest city in the state of Georgia, Savannah is the definition of the idyllic Southern town with its cobblestone streets, rustic mansions, historic buildings, and green parks full of trees and fountains. Established in 1733, Savannah is located on the Atlantic coast by the Savannah River. While it has transformed into a modern city and a major hub, Savannah still retains its historic charm with plenty of places and experiences to offer. With so much to see and explore in Savannah, both residents and visitors will benefit from using Bounce’s short-term bag and luggage storage services during their stay in the city. 

Bounce has several partners in the form of local businesses to provide users with an option to store their bags and luggage short-term. Our partners are strategically located around Savannah – from major transportation hubs to popular neighborhoods. Our mission is to provide you with a hassle-free experience during your stay in the city. 

With an endless list of sights and attractions to see in Savannah, it can be really easy to miss out on some must-see gems in the city, especially if you are on a tight schedule. Luckily, Bounce has put together a city guide to help you maximize your trip. 

Being one of the oldest towns in America, it’s no surprise that Savannah has a rich history and culture. This status is evident in the number of museums found in the city – from old 19th-century sites to more contemporary buildings. Whether you are a history buff or a modernist, there’s plenty of options to see.  

Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) Museum of Art: The SCAD Museum of Art was established in 2002 as a way to educate students of the university and to showcase an extensive collection of contemporary art, including works of renowned artists such as Masud Olufani and Saya Woolfalk. (Bag-check policy: Visitors are not allowed to bring big bags and backpacks into the museum, and small bags are subject to screening. There are Bounce partners in the SCAD area where you can leave your bags.)

Pin Point Heritage Museum: Situated in the Moon River District, the Pin Point Heritage Museum showcases the unique history of the Gullah and Geechee communities, which are the only African-American Creole ethnicities in North America. Visitors learn about the fascinating culture of these communities and how they lived before. (Bag-check policy: There is no coatroom available in the museum. However, visitors may opt to leave their luggage in select Bounce partners within the Moon River District.)

Webb Military Museum: Found in historic Downtown Savannah, the Webb Military Museum houses the biggest and most prolific collection of military artifacts collected throughout history. Founded by Gary Webb decades ago, the museum pays homage to men who were in service throughout different periods. (Bag-check policy: Large bags are not allowed inside the museum. Visitors may choose to use any of Bounce’s partners Downtown to temporarily store their luggage.)


If you like to shop ‘til you drop, you’ll find that Savannah is the perfect place for you. The city is filled with all kinds of shops – from big brands to family-run boutiques and independent stores. Check out Bounce’s guide to shopping in Savannah:

Designer brands: For the hardcore shoppers who want brand name retailers, chain stores, and hip boutiques, head on over to the popular Broughton Street. The district has gained a reputation as one of Savannah’s top shopping destinations and features stores such as Banana Republic, H&M, Marc Jacobs, and Urban Outfitters, to name a few.

Souvenirs: If you want to buy a souvenir as a reminder of your time in Savannah, the best place to visit would be River Street. This cobblestone street, which overlooks the Savannah River, features an array of shops that carry all kinds of goodies. Shop for T-shirts, magnets, key chains, accessories, and much more. It’s definitely a one-stop shop for all things Savannah.

Specialty and novelty products: For a more cultural shopping experience, the City Market is definitely the place to check out. The four-block market has been around since the early 1700s. It is home to several art galleries, clothing boutiques, specialty retailers, and other locally-owned businesses.

Savannah is a dream destination for food lovers because of its diverse and eclectic dining scene. Even though the city is primarily known for coastal and Southern cuisine, there are plenty of other culinary choices to enjoy while in the city. Here are some of Bounce’s top restaurant picks.

Mrs. Wilkes Dining Room: Established in 1946, Mrs. Wilkes Dining Room is a Southern family-style restaurant with a mission to not leave a single person hungry. This restaurant is basically an institution in Savannah, serving classic Southern food such as fried chicken, cornbread, macaroni and cheese, and butter beans. No reservations are taken, so expect a long queue. Try to come as early as you can.

The Olde Pink House: The Olde Pink House is an iconic restaurant in Savannah that’s located in the famous Reynolds Square. A must-try in your culinary tour of the city, the restaurant features a seasonal menu consisting of sweet and savory dishes. The Olde Pink House’s architecture is also worth checking out as it is nestled in the only standing 18th-century mansion in the city. 

Leopold’s Ice Cream: If you’re looking for dessert, ice cream is an excellent choice; let’s face it, everybody loves ice cream. Any person in Savannah would tell you that the best place to get this sweet treat is the legendary Leopold’s Ice Cream Parlor. The retro-looking shop has ice cream family recipes that have been passed on from generations. In fact, Leopold’s is so well-known that their ice cream was once named the 5th best in the entire world.

The area that we now know as Savannah, Georgia has long been the home of the Yamacraw people. However, the region became an overseas colony of the United Kingdom in 1751. Years later, when the American Revolution began, ownership of Savannah switched back and forth between American and British forces for several years. By the end of the Revolution, Georgia was officially incorporated into the United States. Savannah served as Georgia’s state capital for several years, until Atlanta took its place in 1877. These days, Savannah is famous for its strong manufacturing companies and numerous tourist attractions. A myriad of historic sites are open to visitors year-round – specifically in the city’s Historic District. Savannah is also the place to be if you’re a patron of the arts. 

Before you visit Savannah, we’d like to share the city’s crime stats with you. According to the National Crime Index, Savannah ranks at 17 out of the top 100 safest cities in America. Cities that rank closer to 1 report much more criminal activity than cities closer to 100. Our data suggests that Savannah is safer than 17% of American cities.
