Can I drive in Salem with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license issued in the United States, then you might need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before starting the home process. If you find that an IDP is part of the requirements to drive in the U.S, know that you'll also have to show your current valid driver's license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, the credit card used to rent the vehicle must also match the name on your driver's 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 must be at least 25 in most states to be able to rent a car, although in some areas allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, and with the car rental company before your trip to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you leave 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 your home vehicle. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before booking!
