If you're planning a trip away, a smart luggage tracker is a great way to keep tabs on your valuables. Most can be attached to luggage clips or zippers, while others can be placed onto key rings, or inside wallets and purses.

By connecting your Smartphone to your smart tracker's companion app, you can easily track its whereabouts, should anything happen to go missing. And by showing you its last known location on the map, you should never be separated from your belongings for long.

Here are the best smart luggage trackers for your next trip.

The Apple AirTag is roughly the same size as a large coin and can easily be slotted inside a leather key fob or inserted inside a wallet or purse. A one-tap setup instantly connects it with your iPhone or iPad and you’re good to go. It is IP67 water and dust-resistant and is fitted with a replaceable battery that will last for around 12 months.

Provided that your iPhone has a U1 chip you’ll be able to take advantage of the Precision Finding feature in the Find My app to locate your missing keys or wallet. If your lost item is within Bluetooth range, the app will detect its location and lead you straight to it. It also has a built-in speaker that can assist in finding your things, and it works with Siri as well.

If your lost items are too far afield you can declare them lost via the app, which will engage the Find My Network feature and notify you once it has been detected. A very handy little device for security-conscious iPhone users. Or for the more absent-minded among us who may be prone to putting things down and suddenly losing all knowledge of where exactly they put them.

Tile Mate 2022

Some of the best things in life come in pairs, and this two-pack Atuvos Bluetooth tracker is no exception. This value-for-money, waterproof, luggage-tracking double act has a Bluetooth range of 400 feet and can easily be attached to keys, backpacks, or luggage so that you can track their whereabouts.

These trackers are IP67 water resistant and have a loud ring sound that can reach 80 decibels. Should whatever they’re attached to go missing while still in range, your Smart Home devices can also help you to find them. And a Find My Community feature can help if your stuff goes walkabouts far from home.

Your Atuvos trackers will notify you when it’s time to replace their batteries, although you shouldn’t need to do this for about 15 months after purchase. A great value option for anyone wanting to keep track of more than one thing at once, or anyone who’s doubly careless!

This rechargeable Bluetooth luggage tracker has an effective range of 500 feet, is water resistant, and works with Alexa and Google Assistant. It has a loud buzzer sound that can be activated via the Apple Find My app to help you easily find your stuff, and a bright built-in LED to provide a bit of visual assistance.

With the PebbleBee clip, you have the choice to pair it with the Apple Find My app or the PebbleBee app, which makes it unique from other Bluetooth trackers. However, the use of one app precludes the use of the other, so check which one best suits your needs before connecting.

This rechargeable luggage tracker will run for approximately six months on a single charge, and the fact it can be recharged is possibly the biggest pull for this device. Thanks to this, it could be the only Bluetooth luggage tracker you’ll need. Lightweight (but heavier than an AirTag) and thin, this is ideal for keys and attaching to luggage zips.

Key Features
  • Works with Apple Find My or PebbleBee apps
  • 500-foot Bluetooth range
