Self storage

I am planning to return to Japan temporarily.
I am not sure when I will be back in Hawaii next and I don't want to waste money on rent, so
I am considering cancelling my apartment contract and storing my belongings in a storage unit before returning to Japan.
I have no experience with self storage and would like to hear from those who have used it.
Please let me know if you recommend this storage facility in Honolulu, or if you recommend not to use this facility, or if you have any stories of mistakes that happened when you left your belongings at this facility.
Since we are in Hawaii, we are especially concerned about sanitation.
Also, please let me know if you have stored your car in this way or if you know of a service that can safely store your car while you are back home for an extended period of time.
Thank you very much.

A friend of mine did the same thing and returned to Hawaii over a year after leaving her belongings in Kaimuki storage and her car with someone. When he returned, he couldn't find a place to live
He was in Hawaii for a few weeks on a shared basis and ended up leaving, throwing away more than half of the clothes and other things he left in storage. I was also crying because I had more miles on my car than I needed to drive it around where I left it.
It cost us TOTAL thousands of dollars.
Bottom line is, it's easier to sell off your stuff at Vivinavi, throw away what you can't sell, sell your car at Vivinavi, and become one body for the next life.

I rented a storage unit in Kakaako, not because I was moving
but because my house was too small.
However, I was informed that the business was closing while I was back home for 2 months, so I rented another place on short notice, but it was very difficult to move my stuff after returning to Hawaii. I just want you to know that it happens. The place we are renting is air-conditioned, so pests and such are not a problem.

We had to leave our car at Honolulu Auto (car rental agency), but
it is not cheap because of parking fee + management fee.
However, we live in a house with an uncovered garage, so if the car is parked all the time, we know we are not home, and we have to worry about the battery, so it was good to leave the car with them.

Thank you for sharing your friend's story. It is true that if the return trip is prolonged, the cost may be unnecessarily high. I will think that over again before making a decision. Thank you very much.

＃ 4 min Mr.
I am glad to hear a review from someone who has actually used it.
I am relieved to hear that the pest control seems to be in place if the storage is well managed.
However, I had not thought about the possibility of closing the business, so I will have to reconsider. It must have been very hard to move the storage in a limited time, thank you very much. Thank you for the details regarding the car as well. I am also worried about theft and batteries, so I would like to leave my car in a safe place even if it is a little more expensive.
Thank you very much for your help. Thank you very much.
