This couple wants tourists to pay $6 a day to store their luggage with a total stranger

To book your bags on Vertoe, go to the company's website and select a time and location when you'd like to drop off your bags. As a trial run, I made a booking for the earliest time available, which turned out to be 30 minutes out. I set my location for JFK Airport and said that I needed storage for only one hour.

While most of the last minute options near JFK were about 10 miles away, there was one option that was less than a mile and a half away from the airport.

Vertoe keeps the name of the business private until you book and enter you credit card information. But as you can see here, the site does tell you how close that business is to your destination.

Once I booked my storage reservation, Vertoe provided the business's location, email address, and phone number, and told me that I'd need to bring along a photo ID in order to check my bags.

Upon booking, I received both an email and text confirmation.

Because I was using Vertoe only as a trial run, I asked for a refund. A few moments later, Vertoe sent over a receipt with a refund, which is in keeping with the company's lenient "cancel at any time" policy.
