About Us
Our Story
Bagzee was born out of a real travel frustration faced by our co-founder, Bilal, in 2019. During an externship in Chicago, he encountered a common problem: an early hotel checkout with a late flight left him struggling with what to do with his luggage. The hotel’s option to hold his bags was inconvenient, requiring extra trips and wasted time, which could have been spent exploring the city. Ultimately, he ended up dragging his luggage around all day, limiting his ability to fully enjoy the experience.
This situation highlighted a widespread issue faced by millions of travelers—whether it’s managing luggage after checkout or dealing with multiple bags while traveling with family. The inconvenience is universal.
Inspired by these challenges, the Bagzee solution was born. Our service allows travelers to explore freely without being weighed down by their luggage, offering a convenient and efficient way to have bags safely delivered to the airport or destination. Bagzee is designed to make your travel experience smoother, so you can focus on what really matters—enjoying your journey.
