Pre-book a rent-a-car service

While you are about to take three or more pieces of luggage with you, it is best to pre-book a car or cab for taking your luggage to the airport. 

The benefit of booking a cab or a car is that you can select the size of the car that can easily take all your luggage. 

And save you from worrying about reaching the airport at the right time. 

Use a luggage transport service.

Luggage transport service is an alternative to using a pre-booked car. 

In case you book one, you will not have to worry about loading and unloading your luggage to the cab. 

Luggage transport services take the responsibility of transporting all your luggage safely to the airport. 

And when you get there (at the airport), your luggage will be ready for check-in. 

Purchase luggage insurance.

The major reason your mind gets the question, “how do you travel with a lot of stuff” is the safety of your luggage. 

When you are traveling with one piece of luggage, then the chance of losing it is low. 

But when you are traveling with a lot of stuff, the chance of losing one of the luggage is relatively high. 

And here comes the luggage insurance policy in play. 

The luggage insurance policy provides you with financial security against the chance of losing your luggage while traveling. 

And getting one of these policies is not a bad idea, especially when you are traveling with valuable items in your luggage.
