Most storage facilities are single-location only - you store and pick up at the same facility. Some multi-location operators (Public Storage, Extra Space, U-Haul) offer cross-location transfers but typically charge per-mile fees and 5-7 days lead time.
Reno has a larger metro population (467K) which typically supports 2-4x more storage facilities than Carson City. Larger inventory means more price competition and more storage-type options.
No - the cities are only 27.9 miles apart in the same state, so climate and seasonal storage timing are essentially identical. UV degradation and tire dry-rot are the dominant outdoor-storage risks.
