Luggage lockers in Málaga cost roughly €5–14 per day depending on size and operator. Lock & Store runs lockers at two shops in the historic centre — Calle Esparteros, 9 (next to Larios Street) and Calle Cañón, 7 (next to the Cathedral) — from €9.50 for a full day, open every day 07:30–23:59.
This guide compares the types of luggage storage you will find in the city, typical prices and the details worth checking before you book.
What types of lockers and left luggage exist in Málaga?
- Smart lockers: self-service shops with lockers that open with a personal PIN. You book online, drop your bags and can reopen your locker during the booking. This is the Lock & Store model.
- Staffed left luggage counters: you hand your bag to a person and get a ticket. They depend on staff hours and storage is usually a shared room.
- Marketplace apps: platforms that rent space inside partner shops or bars. The per-bag price looks low, but it multiplies with several bags, and security depends on each venue.
- Your hotel: many keep bags before check-in or after check-out, but only for guests, without guarantee and usually in a shared room without a PIN.
How much do lockers cost in Málaga?
The typical range in the city centre is €5 to €14 per day depending on locker size. Watch out for two things: some operators charge per bag (two bags can cost more than one XL locker) and others advertise hourly rates with a very low “from…” price.
That hourly “from…” is mostly marketing — do the maths before booking. Hourly rates usually start above €2, so just 3–4 hours already matches the price of a full-day locker, and a whole day out — dropping bags in the morning and collecting them at night — ends up considerably more expensive. With a daily price you know the total upfront and come back whenever you want, without watching the clock.
At Lock & Store the price is per locker and calendar day (until 23:59), booked online:
| Locker | Price | Capacity |
|---|---|---|
| M | €9.50 for a full day | 2 carry-ons, or 1 carry-on + backpack |
| XL | €13.00 for a full day | 1 large checked suitcase, or up to 4 carry-ons |
Both include a charging point, insurance of up to €800 and 24h CCTV. Same price at both shops.
Which locker size do I need?
- Weekend trip (carry-on + backpack): locker M.
- Couple with two carry-ons: one M is enough.
- Large checked suitcase: you need the XL.
- Family or group with 3–4 cabin bags: one XL is cheaper than several M lockers.

What to check before booking a locker in Málaga
- Actual opening hours: some lockers run 24h, others close at night. Lock & Store opens 07:30–23:59 every day including holidays — plenty for a sightseeing day, but if you land in the small hours a 24h option suits you better.
- Re-access: make sure you can open the locker several times without paying again. With the Lock & Store PIN you can take things out and put them back as needed.
- Per locker or per bag pricing: with two or more bags, per-locker pricing almost always wins.
- Insurance and CCTV: ask whether the booking includes insurance. Here it covers up to €800 per booking.
- Location: a cheap locker far from the old town makes you cross the city twice. Both Lock & Store shops are inside the pedestrian centre.
- Reviews: check the Google rating of the specific shop, not just the brand.
