Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KUL) offers luggage storage services for passengers who want to leave their bags for a few hours, overnight or for several days. Storage options are available at both Terminal 1 and Terminal 2, which can be useful during long layovers, early hotel check-outs or short visits to Kuala Lumpur. Passengers can use staffed baggage storage or locker options depending on the location, luggage size and storage period. Key Smart Storage locations operate 24 hours a day, making the service useful for both late-night arrivals and early departures.

Choose the Right Terminal Before Storing Your Bag
Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 Are Separate
If you arrive at one terminal but later depart from the other, collecting stored luggage can add extra transfer time.
A transfer between storage locations may sometimes be arranged with the operator, but do not assume your luggage will automatically be moved between terminals.
More Than Luggage Storage
Depending on the location, additional baggage and travel services may also be available.
Can Someone Else Collect Your Luggage?
Third-party collection may be possible when arranged with the storage provider. The collector may need the receipt, identification details and additional authorisation.
If someone else will collect your luggage, arrange this with the facility in advance.

Keep Valuables With You
Keep passports, money and essential travel documents in your personal bag.
