Frequently asked questions

How much is a rental car per day in Salem?
Daily home prices were as low as within the past seven days. With rates like this, cruising around Salem in your own set of wheels is an affordable and convenient way to visit the sights.
What happens if I need to cancel my Salem car reservation?
We get that flexibility is important. That’s why many prepaid bookings provide a complete refund if you cancel a minimum of six hours before the collection time. It’s a good idea to go through your home policy though because there are some exceptions. If the information isn’t there, make your way to our Customer Service Portal.
What types of cars can I rent in Salem?
Mini, economy, full-size, premium … The choice is yours! However, compact models are the most popular in Salem. If you’re searching for something small and cost-effective, but not too small, this category of home vehicle is an excellent choice. Navigating busy streets will be a cinch in one of these. Compact vehicles offer a bit more room compared to economy models and are suited to solo travellers, couples and families on a budget.
Where can I go on a road trip from Salem?
Book a rental car, pick up the keys and get ready to discover the endless attractions of Salem. But with so much to see in the surrounding areas, that shouldn’t be the end of the road! Chart your own course to some of the other intriguing places in the region:

  • You’ll feel the energy of bustling city life as soon as you pull into Bengaluru. Some 161 kilometres from Salem, it has loads of fantastic places to visit, such as Bangalore Palace.
  • Mysore, around 177 kilometres away, will also show you a good time. Curious what there is to see? Mysore Palace is one of our favourite stops.
  • Put some distance between you and the fast pace of the city at Marina Beach. Approximately 274 kilometres from Salem, this is the place to go to get back to nature.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Salem?
Home vehicle rules in Salem require drivers to be 18 and above. Are you a young driver? Some surcharges and restrictions may apply. Many home companies impose what is known as a young renter surcharge, which is an additional fee to the rental car cost. Restrictions usually apply to the sorts of cars young motorists can rent as well. Age limits may vary between providers, so check before you book.
What do you need to rent a car in Salem?
Any home company you choose will need these two things — your driver’s license and a credit card in your name. If you decide to opt out of the provider’s insurance plan, proof of other coverage will also likely be needed. Read through your policy so you know what to bring when it’s time to collect your car.
What side of the road do you drive on in Salem?
People in Salem drive on the left-hand side, and the steering wheel and other controls are on the opposite side to U.S. Vehicles. Take a while getting familiar with your new ride before getting on the road.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Salem?
Visit our long-term car rental deals page, enter your preferences and then secure your ideal ride. Whether you’re basing yourself in Salem or road-tripping around, Expedia will help you find a long-term holiday home at an incredible rate.
Where can I find a Salem car rental if I am younger than 25?
Renting a vehicle if you are under 25 in Salem often depends on the holiday home company you choose. Some places apply a surcharge for customers aged between 21 and 24 years, however other companies may not have any extra fees for this age range. Make sure you read the terms and conditions of your prospective car company to avoid any surprise charges at the holiday home desk.
