Well, I was suggesting landuse=self_storage so as to include any associated driveways, although amenity=storage or amenity=self_storage would work as well. Using self_storage rather than just storage emphasizes that these are units available to individuals, as opposed to larger-scale commercial warehouses. From my experience, most such facilities have a fenced enclosure, with driveways to each building, although there are usually a few units accessible from outside the fence..

Why landuse? It's generally going to be located inside a larger landuse area of commercial or industrial, and could be as small as a standard office building. There is some use of http://taginfo.openstreetmap.de/tags/amenity=storage but I don't know if any (except for the ones I tagged) are used for this type of facility. -- John F.
