If you are arriving at Vienna Hauptbahnhof with luggage and several hours to spare, using a station locker may be one of the first options that comes to mind. Vienna HBF provides luggage lockers, but lockers are not always the most convenient solution for every traveler.
If you would rather hand over your luggage at the station and continue directly into Vienna, Luggage Storage Vienna offers another option: we meet you at Vienna Hauptbahnhof, collect your bags, store them securely nearby, and return them at your chosen time.

Are There Luggage Lockers at Vienna Hauptbahnhof?
Yes. Vienna Hauptbahnhof currently has modern digital lockers located in the lower level of the station. According to ÖBB, there are around 670 lockers in different sizes, and they can either be reserved in advance or booked at the station.
This makes lockers a useful option for travelers who are comfortable taking their luggage to the locker area themselves and returning there again when they need their bags.
However, another option may be more convenient when you are carrying several bags, traveling as a family, handling heavy suitcases, or simply want to leave the station as quickly as possible.
What Sizes Are the Vienna HBF Lockers?
The multifunctional lockers at Vienna Hauptbahnhof are available in several sizes.
ÖBB currently lists the following internal dimensions:
- S: 12 × 41 × 62 cm
- M: 23 × 41 × 62 cm
- L: 47 × 41 × 62 cm
- XL: 71 × 41 × 62 cm
- XXL: 89 × 41 × 62 cm
- 3XL: up to 214 × 41 × 62 cm
The largest size is intended for particularly bulky items such as skis or strollers.
Before booking a locker, it is worth checking the dimensions of your suitcase, especially if you are traveling with oversized luggage or several bags.
How Much Do Vienna Hauptbahnhof Lockers Cost?
For the modern multifunctional lockers currently available at Vienna Hauptbahnhof, ÖBB does not publish one fixed price table on its information page. Instead, the current price is displayed during the booking process and depends on the selected locker and booking duration.
This is important because travelers may find older locker price lists online that do not necessarily represent the current Vienna Hauptbahnhof system.
If price certainty is important to you, check the current locker booking price before arriving or compare it with a luggage storage service where the expected cost is shown before confirmation.
Where Are the Lockers at Vienna Hauptbahnhof?
The digital lockers are located in the lower level of Vienna Hauptbahnhof and can be used during the station’s opening hours.
For travelers with light luggage, finding the locker area and storing a bag may be straightforward.
But if you arrive with large suitcases, children, several pieces of luggage, or limited time, walking through a busy station while carrying everything can still be inconvenient.
That is where a pickup-based luggage storage service offers a different experience.
Vienna HBF Lockers vs Luggage Pickup Service
The main difference is simple:
With a locker, you take your luggage to the storage point. With our service, we meet you at Vienna Hauptbahnhof and take care of the luggage for you.
Using a Station Locker
With traditional lockers, you normally need to:
- Find the locker area.
- Choose an available locker size.
- Make sure your luggage fits.
- Complete the booking or payment.
- Place your bags inside.
- Return to the locker when you need them again.
This works well for many travelers, especially those carrying one small bag.
Using Luggage Storage Vienna
With our service, the process is different:
- Book your preferred pickup time.
- Meet our team at Vienna Hauptbahnhof.
- Hand over your luggage.
- Continue directly with your day.
- We store your bags securely nearby.
- Meet us again at your selected return time.
You do not need to visit the actual storage location.
Your luggage leaves the station. You don’t have to.
When Is Luggage Pickup More Convenient Than a Locker?
There is no single option that is best for every traveler.
A locker can be practical if you have one small bag and simply want the lowest-cost self-service solution.
Our pickup and return service may be more suitable when convenience matters more.
You Have Several Bags
Trying to fit multiple suitcases into station lockers can mean booking more than one compartment.
With our service, you simply tell us how many bags you have when requesting your booking.
You Are Traveling With Children
Families already have enough to manage when arriving at a major railway station.
Handing over the luggage at an agreed meeting point can make it easier to continue through Vienna without managing suitcases at the same time.
Your Suitcase Is Heavy
Even when luggage fits into a locker, you still need to move it through the station, load it, and return later to collect it.
Pickup reduces the amount of time you spend handling the bags yourself.
You Have Limited Time in Vienna
If you only have four, six, or eight hours before your next train, every part of your day matters.
The goal of our service is to help you leave the station and start using that time as quickly as possible.
A Better Option Before Hotel Check-In
Many visitors arrive at Vienna Hauptbahnhof several hours before their accommodation is ready.
For example, your train may arrive at 9:00 AM while hotel check-in begins at 3:00 PM.
That leaves six hours.
Instead of spending part of that time moving luggage between the station, lockers, and your accommodation, you can arrange to meet our team at Vienna HBF and continue directly into the city.
Your bags remain stored securely nearby until the agreed return time.
A Convenient Option After Hotel Check-Out
Departure day creates the opposite problem.
You may have to leave your hotel at 10:00 or 11:00 AM even though your train does not depart until later in the afternoon or evening.
Carrying luggage during those final hours can limit what you can do.
With luggage storage arranged, you can use your remaining time for:
- Lunch or coffee.
- Shopping.
- Sightseeing.
- Meeting friends.
- Walking around Vienna.
- Relaxing before your journey.
Then you collect your luggage according to the return arrangement.
Do I Need to Return to the Storage Location?
With Luggage Storage Vienna, you do not need to visit our actual nearby storage facility.
Pickup and return are arranged at Vienna Hauptbahnhof.
Your luggage is transported from the meeting point to our secure nearby storage location and brought back according to your booking.
This distinction is important:
Pickup and return inside Vienna Hauptbahnhof. Storage is located securely nearby.
How Does Luggage Storage Vienna Work?

Our team collects your luggage and completes the handover process.
Step 4: Explore Vienna Bag-Free

Step 5: Get Your Bags Back
Meet our team again at the agreed return time and receive your luggage.
How Much Does Our Pickup and Storage Service Cost?
Our indicative pricing starts from:
1 Bag — from €14.90
2 Bags — from €19.90
Additional Bag — €4.90
The final price depends on your selected service, storage duration, number of bags, and any additional requirements.
Final price is shown before confirming your booking.
Unlike a basic self-service locker, the service is designed to include the convenience of meeting our team, luggage handling, secure nearby storage, and scheduled return.
Is a Locker or Pickup Service Better for You?
Choose a Vienna HBF locker if:
- You have a small amount of luggage.
- Your bags easily fit into an available locker.
- You are comfortable handling everything yourself.
- You want a self-service storage option.
Consider Luggage Storage Vienna if:
- You have several or heavy bags.
- You are traveling with your family.
- You want to leave the station quickly.
- You prefer meeting a person rather than finding a locker.
- You want your luggage returned at an arranged time.
- Convenience is a priority during your travel day.
Both options solve the same basic problem, but the experience is very different.
Can I Reserve Vienna HBF Lockers in Advance?
Yes. ÖBB states that the multifunctional lockers at Vienna Hauptbahnhof can be booked directly at the station or reserved in advance through the locker operator’s booking system.
If you prefer a personal pickup service instead, you can submit your luggage storage request through our website and choose the times that suit your travel schedule.
What If the Locker Size I Need Is Not Available?
Locker availability can matter during busy travel periods, especially if you require a specific size.
A pickup-based storage service avoids the need to fit all your luggage into a specific locker compartment.
When requesting a booking with us, provide the number and approximate size of your bags so our team knows what you are bringing before the meeting.
Can I Store Luggage for Just a Few Hours?
Yes.
Our service is suitable for travelers who need luggage storage between arrival and hotel check-in, between check-out and departure, or simply while spending several hours exploring Vienna.
You choose the required pickup and return times during your booking request.
Skip the Locker and Explore Vienna Bag-Free
