What types of cars can I rent in Salem?
Economical, easy to handle and delivering great mileage, it’s hardly surprising compact vehicles are the most booked home type in Salem. Tour this city in one of these and you’ll be able to park in tight spaces and easily navigate traffic. A compact is perfect for city breaks or short road trips. But they’re not your only options. Go even smaller with an economy ride or bigger with a full-size or premium — the choice is all yours!

When you’ve covered all the fabulous sights in Salem, there’s heaps more to explore in the region. Grab the keys to a rental car, toss your luggage in the trunk and take to the open road. These are some road trips we know you’ll love:

  • Make tracks to Providence for a fantastic sightseeing adventure. Roughly 105 kilometres from Salem, it has numerous cool sights, including Brown University.
  • Roughly 137 kilometres away, Springfield is also a hit with wanderers. Make time to take in Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame while you’re here. It’s one of the reasons people love this buzzing city.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Salem?
Drivers 21 and over can go road-tripping around Salem in a rental car. If you’re a young motorist, a daily surcharge will apply. You’ll usually have fewer car categories to pick from, such as economy and compact, and may also have to purchase inclusive insurance. Always enter the correct age of the main driver when booking to learn if any restrictions or extra fees apply.
What do you need to rent a car in Salem?
While booking conditions may differ between car rental outlets in Salem, the two key things you’ll need are your driver’s license and a credit card. You don’t need to take out auto insurance with your home provider. However, proof of your own coverage may be required.
What is the cheapest car rental in Salem?
With prices starting as low as AU$173 and AU$178 per day in Salem within the past seven days, you’ll be zooming off with your own fantastic deal in no time. These rates were available on Expedia, with a home starting date within the next year. Prices and availability are subject to change and additional terms apply.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Salem?
Expedia makes it a cinch to book a reliable long-term home in Salem. Just click through to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your preferences and browse the possibilities.
Where can I find a Salem car rental if I am younger than 25?
This depends on the holiday home companies that operate in Salem. They often have different policies when it comes to minimum ages. If you’ve found an outlet that does cater to drivers under the age of 25 bear in mind that extra fees may apply. Conduct some research into any extra charges before you collect the car.
Can I drive in Salem with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a driver’s license issued in the United States, you might need to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before renting a car in the U.S. If you find that an IDP is required, note that you’ll also need to show your valid driver’s license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, the credit card you used to rent the car must also match the name on your driver’s license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Other things you should know about renting a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in many states in order to rent a car, although in some areas allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as with the company you’re renting from before you book to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Don’t forget to read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, you usually can’t cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive onto ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your home. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before booking!
