How old do you have to be to rent a car in Salem?
Rental car rules in Salem require drivers to be 21 and older. Are you a younger driver? A few surcharges and restrictions may apply. Home outlets impose what is known as a young renter surcharge, which is an additional fee to the car rental cost. Restrictions usually apply to the classes of cars available to young people too. Age limits may vary between suppliers, so check before you book.
What do you need to rent a car in Salem?
Any home company you choose will ask for these two things — your driver’s license and a credit card in your name. If you choose to opt out of the provider’s insurance plan, proof of your own coverage may also be needed. Read through your policy so you know what to bring when it’s time to pick up the keys.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Salem?
Whether you have plans to stop in Salem or discover what’s beyond, you can book a long-term holiday home with Expedia. Enter your trip information and pick-up/drop-off locations and we’ll find you cheap long-term car rental deals.
Where can I find a Salem car rental if I am younger than 25?
This will depend on the car rental companies operating in Salem. They often have different policies when it comes to minimum ages. If you’ve found a supplier that does cater to drivers under 25 bear in mind that extra costs may apply. Conduct some research into what those charges could be before picking up the keys to your vehicle.
Can I drive in Salem with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a license issued in the U.S, you may be required to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before starting the home process. If you find that an IDP is part of the requirements to drive in the U.S., be aware that you’ll also have to show your current valid driver’s license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, the credit card you used to rent the car must match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Other things you should know about rental cars in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You’ll need to be 25 in most states to be able to rent a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking local regulations, and with the car rental company before you travel to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you drive off the lot so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, you typically can’t cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive onto ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with a rental car. Please read all the rules and regulations before booking!
