Some may rent to drivers under the age of 25, some may not. There may be additional costs if you're aged between 21 and 24. To avoid any surprise fees and charges at the rental desk, make sure you know what to expect.
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, 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 required, be aware that you'll also have to show your valid driver's license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, the credit card that was used to rent the car must also match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Other things you should know about renting a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older in many states to rent a car, although in some areas allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as with the company you're renting from before you travel to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Don't forget to read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel to avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, you usually can't cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive onto ferries or go off-roading with your car rental. Please read the regulations before booking!
