Pick Honolulu if you want maximum facility selection and competitive pricing. Honolulu has roughly 3x the population of Kailua, which means more facilities competing for your business and a wider range of price points and storage types.
Pick Kailua if you want a quieter facility experience, easier access without metro-area traffic, and lower median pricing. Kailua typically runs 10-25% cheaper than Honolulu for the same wine storage.
Hurricane note: Both cities face Hawaii's hurricane season (June-November). Whichever city you pick, confirm Cat 3+ rated indoor storage in writing before booking. Salt-air corrosion is brutal year-round; indoor air-conditioned storage is the only credible option for collector vehicles.

8.1 miles separates the cities. In light traffic, that's typically 8-20 minutes by car. In peak commute traffic in larger Hawaii metros, allow 25-45 minutes. If you'll be visiting the storage facility weekly, factor commute time into your decision.
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.
Honolulu has a larger metro population (345K) which typically supports 2-4x more storage facilities than Kailua. Larger inventory means more price competition and more storage-type options.
