They're a good match for couples, solo adventurers and budget-conscious families. Of course, how you cruise around is totally up to you! Go even smaller with a mini or economy, or give yourself more space with a full-size or an intermediate. Looking for luxury? Check out our premium rides.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Salem?
The youngest age you can rent a car in Salem is 18. A surcharge for young drivers generally applies, so check before you book and factor in any extra costs. There may also be restrictions on the car categories available to young drivers. For example, some providers will only rent out economy, compact and medium-sized cars to less-experienced motorists. Requirements may vary between companies, so be sure to read the fine print.
What do you need to rent a car in Salem?
Your driver's licence and a credit card in the same name are essentials. Opting out of the company's insurance plan? Then you may also need proof of other coverage. Requirements may differ between suppliers, so read through your policy.
What side of the road do you drive on in Salem?
In Salem, prepare to drive on the left. This obviously differs from driving in the States, so be careful and focus while you're behind the wheel.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Salem?
Yes, which means you won't need to rebook a rental vehicle halfway through your holiday. Go to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your details and book a set of wheels that's all yours for the duration of your getaway.
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 the age of 25, some companies will charge additional costs. It's ideal to know this in advance so you can have the funds ready. Every rental car company has its own rules for young drivers, so be sure to do your research.
