They're particularly suited to exploring cities. Getting into cramped parking spots will be a walk in the park!

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Salem?
Drivers with a valid licence 18 and above can rent a vehicle in Salem. While some providers may be willing to accommodate drivers younger than 18, you can expect additional fees. Find out what age range the young renter fee applies to, and what it costs, before locking in your ride. Suppliers also restrict the categories 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?
Most rental companies will ask for these two things — your driver's licence and a credit card in your name. If you choose to opt out of the supplier's insurance plan, proof of your own 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?
Motorists in Salem drive on the left-hand side, and the steering wheel and other controls are on the opposite side to cars in the U.S. Spend a little extra time getting acquainted with your new car before setting out.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Salem?
Head to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your preferences and then choose your perfect ride. Whether you're stopping in Salem or exploring beyond, Expedia will help you find a long-term rental at an incredible rate.
Where can I find a Salem car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to investigate the age policy of the Salem rental providers you're considering. If you're under 25 years of age, some will charge extra fees. It's useful to know about this before arriving at the desk so you can budget accordingly. Every rental car company has its own terms and conditions for younger drivers, so be sure to do your research.
