Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Salem car reservation?
You should qualify for your money back on your prepaid booking if it's cancelled a minimum of six hours prior to pickup. Scan the rental policy for all the details. Our Customer Service Portal may have what you need too.
What types of cars can I rent in Salem?
Cost-effective, easy to drive and fuel-efficient, it's no wonder compact cars are the most commonly booked rental category in Salem. Explore this city in one of these and you'll be able to park in tight spaces and easily get around busy streets. A compact is perfect for city escapes or short road trips. But they're not your only options. Go even smaller with an economy ride or bigger with an intermediate, a full-size or premium — the choice is yours!
Where can I go on a road trip from Salem?
Salem is full of adventures, but don't limit yourself to only one place. Rent some wheels and hit the road to explore the wider region. Here are some places to consider:

  • Sioux Falls is about 56 kilometres from Salem. Well-known tourist spots like Denny Sanford Premier Centre should be high on your list while you're in town.
  • Your next pit stop? Sioux City, which is around 161 kilometres away. Casino Sioux City is one local draw card you won't want to miss.
  • Eugene T. Mahoney State Park is about 322 kilometres from Salem and is one of the region's most beautiful nature spots. Pack a picnic lunch and enjoy the fresh air here.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Salem?
Drivers with a valid licence 21 and over can rent a vehicle in Salem. While some providers may be willing to rent to drivers younger than 21, they will add on fees. Find out what ages the young renter fee applies to, and the cost, before reserving your ride. Providers also restrict the types of cars young drivers can rent. Higher limits are in place for luxury and specialty vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in Salem?
Any rental company you choose will need these two things — a valid driver's licence and a credit card in your name. If you want to opt out of the supplier's insurance plan, proof of other coverage will also likely be needed. Read your policy so you know what to bring when it's time to collect your wheels.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Salem?
Whether you have plans to stop in Salem or venture beyond, you can reserve a long-term rental with Expedia. Enter your trip information and pick-up/drop-off locations and we'll help you find excellent long-term car rental deals.
Where can I find a Salem car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you're a younger driver looking for a rental in Salem, check the terms and conditions of the rental companies you're interested in. Some may rent to drivers under 25, some may not. There may be surcharges if you're between 21 and 24 years old. To escape any nasty surprises on pickup, make sure you know if any extra charges apply to you.
