At our EWR parking company, we know luggage is an important part of any trip. Not only should your luggage fit all of your belongings neatly, but it should also be durable enough to withstand flights, taxis, buses, and more. Here, we explore some of the most popular luggage brands in three budget categories: affordable, mid-grade, and luxury.
