Which luggage brand has best warranty?
Briggs & Riley have the best luggage warranty. While a lot of luggage brands have stipulations regarding lifetime warranty, Briggs & Riley have an unconditional lifetime warranty.
If you’re looking to upgrade and invest in luggage that will last you many years of travel, you could choose one of the most durable suitcases on the market or the best aluminium luggage. Alternatively, you could choose a luggage brand who offers lifetime warranty. Here are the 10 best for all budgets.
What does luggage lifetime warranty cover?
Luggage lifetime warranty usually covers manufacturing defects like cracks or breaks in the shell, wheels, handles, or telescoping handles that break off or are no longer usable and broken zippers. Circumstances that aren’t usually covered are cosmetic damage like scratches and dents, general use or wear and tear or mishandling damages caused by airline luggage handlers.
I’ve ordered this list by price ascending.
Antler
Antler are one of my favourite affordable luggage brands. There aren’t many luggage brands who offer lifetime warranty under £200, making them unique. Antler are well reviewed on Amazon (and we all know Amazon reviewers are the harshest on the planet) so you know they make great quality suitcases despite the low price. The Antler Clifton is their most popular model which is also colour-fast, so any scratches will stay true to the colour of the shell – Antler warranty
Level8
I own the Level8 Voyageur, Gibraltar aluminium and Luminous so I can attest to the quality of Level8 luggage. Another luggage brand with great reviews on Amazon, Level8 use German-made Makrolon® polycarbonate for their hard shell suitcases while their aluminium carry-on uses Aerospace-grade aluminium magnesium alloy – Level8 warranty
Travelpro
Finding good quality soft shell luggage is getting more difficult with the rise in popularity of hard shell suitcases. Travelpro continue to have a large range of soft sided suitcases. Their Maxlite remains one of their most popular models which features a DuraGuard® coating which is water and stain resistant to help keep it’s look. –Travelpro warranty
Monos
Monos are one of the most stylish affordable luggage brands around. Their hybrid range features Aerospace-grade, water-resistant polycarbonate hard shell, aluminium frame and corner guards and a zipperless locking system for extra security – Monos warranty
July
July claim their aerospace-grade German polycarbonate is unbreakable and also have the lightest double-wheel suitcase in the world at 1.8kg (which seems correct when researching for my list of best lightweight suitcases) – July warranty
Away
While their Bigger carry-on is “Google’s top-searched luggage this year”, I recommend looking at their aluminium range which I think is one of the most stylish aluminium suitcase on the market, rivalling those of Tumi and Rimowa at half the price – Away warranty
Horizn Studios
I own the Horizn Studios M5 carry-on and is my main luggage for short trips due to it’s premium build – Horizn Studios warranty
Carl Friedrik
While Carl Friedrik may not have as an extensive range compared to other luggage brands, there’s no denying it’s one of the most stylish at this price point. It has a zipperless locking system and aluminium frame – Carl Friedrik warranty
Briggs & Riley
While Briggs & Riley luggage errs on the side of ‘traditional’, their functionality is one of the best on the market. Small details like one button expansion system, built-in garment panels for wrinkle-free suits and dresses and shock-absorbing spinner wheels make them unique from their competitors – Briggs & Riley warranty
Rimowa
One of the best luxury luggage brands around, Rimowa are renown for their build quality and aesthetics. I think the Rimowa Classic is one the most stylish suitcases in any category. It uses high-end anodised aluminium alloy – Rimowa warranty
