★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 178 reviews · 1 to 8 hours (approx.) · from $16Best value

Drop up to two bags per person at the daytime storage area beneath Canada Place, then spend your wait in Vancouver without hauling your luggage. Staff issue a claim ticket and pickup directions. The service runs from 8:00 am to 4:30 pm, with no overnight storage.

The terminal is huge and chaotic with so many people, so something as simple as, "while you're still underground, look for door A" would've spared me walking around the entire facility wondering where I was going. Also, when I called customer service, they answered, but the person I spoke with also didn't give me specific instructions, just to "walk all the way around and you should see…”
