Read through the rules carefully before booking and factor any surcharge into your budget.
What do you need to rent a car in Salem?
While terms and conditions can differ between rental car outlets in Salem, the two things you’ll need are a valid driver’s license and a credit card in your name. You don’t need to take out auto insurance with your home provider. However, proof of alternative coverage may be necessary.

Where can I find a Salem car rental if I am younger than 25?
This depends on the holiday home car companies that are in Salem. They often have different age policies. If you’ve found a place that does cater to drivers under 25 bear in mind that additional fees may apply. Do some research into any extra charges before picking up your vehicle.
Can I drive in Salem with my current driver's license?
If you don’t possess a driver’s license issued in the U.S, you might need to get 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, know that you’ll also have to show your current valid driver’s license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, your credit card used to rent the vehicle must also match the name on your driver’s license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Some additional requirements for 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, and with the car rental company before you go to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Don’t forget to read the fine print before you get behind the wheel so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, you typically can’t cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, use car ferries or go off-roading with your home. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before you book!
