What types of cars can I rent in Salem?
Not too small and not too big, compact cars are the number one pick for many travellers to Salem. Offering great gas mileage and easy parking and manoeuvrability, they're ideal for getting around the city. A compact has slightly more room than an economy vehicle, so you can get around in a little extra comfort and convenience. Want something bigger?

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Salem?
In Salem, the requirement is 21 and over. Most companies will charge additional fees for young drivers, which can differ based on the rental location. Rental policies for young drivers may restrict certain vehicles, such as large cars, and require the purchase of inclusive insurance. Be sure to check the fine print before choosing your ride.
What do you need to rent a car in Salem?
Most rental companies will require two things — your driver's licence and credit card. If you'd prefer to opt out of the provider's insurance plan, proof of other coverage will also likely be needed. Read your policy thoroughly so you know what to bring with you to the rental counter.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Salem?
Yes. Expedia partners with quality providers that offer long-term rentals for all types of cars. Book one of our long-term car rental deals and explore every turn of Salem — or beyond!
Where can I find a Salem car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to look into the age policy of the Salem rental suppliers you're considering. If you're under 25 years of age, some will charge extra fees. It's best to know this before arriving at the desk so you can plan your budget accordingly. Each rental car company has its own policies for younger drivers, so do your research.
