Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Salem car reservation?
Good news! You should get a full refund if you advise us more than six hours before pickup. Your confirmation contains information about this, and so does our Customer Service Portal. Not all prepaid rentals will receive a refund though, so you may want to go over the rental agreement.
What types of cars can I rent in Salem?
Whatever meets your needs! Go for a mid-size or full-size if you're travelling with the family, or scale up to a premium for a top-of-the-range ride. Or, choose an economy vehicle — the most popular rental in Salem. Affordable and with awesome mileage, they're a good match for singles, couples or anyone else who doesn't need a huge amount of space. They're particularly suited to city exploring. Slipping into narrow parking spots will be a cinch!
Where can I go on a road trip from Salem?
There's lots on offer in Salem, but venture further afield and you'll find more sightseeing magic. Grab a set of wheels and you can wander around the greater area at your own pace. Add these awesome places to your to-do list:

  • Bremen is about 145 kilometres from Salem. Popular attractions like Weser Stadium should be high on your list while you're in town.
