How old do you have to be to rent a car in Salem?
Salem rules state drivers must be at least 21 to be able to rent a car. However, young drivers can expect a surcharge and some restrictions. Many companies impose a young renter fee on top of the standard car rental rate. This helps cover the higher risk of accident or damage. While many car categories (like economy and compact) are available to young drivers, restrictions generally apply to specialty and premium cars.
What do you need to rent a car in Salem?
The main things are a valid driver’s license and a credit card in the same name. Most car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may have to provide proof of alternative coverage if you opt out. Check your policy terms and conditions to avoid any issues.

Where can I find a Salem car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Salem companies will rent cars to drivers under 25 and others won’t. Age policies differ between suppliers, so you should do some research. Also, find out if there are extra costs. Some places will apply a surcharge to customers between 21 and 24. Always check the terms and conditions to avoid any nasty surprises.
Can I drive in Salem with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a license from the U.S, then you may need to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before renting a car. If you find that an IDP is required for you to drive in the U.S., note that you’ll also need to show your current driver’s license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, your credit card used to rent the vehicle must match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Some additional requirements for renting a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older in many states in order to rent a car, although in some places, the minimum age is 21 years. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as the car rental website before you go to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you drive off the lot so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, you usually can’t cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive on ferries or go off-roading with a rental car. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before you book!
