You’ll need to look up the age policy of the Salem holiday home providers you’re interested in. If you’re under the age of 25 be mindful that some will charge additional fees. It’s handy to know this before arriving at the desk so you can budget accordingly. Every holiday home car company has its own policies for younger drivers, so it’s smart to do your research.
Can I drive in Salem with my current driver's license?
If you don’t possess a driver’s license issued in the U.S, you may be required to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before renting a car. If you find that an IDP is required for you 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 form of ID. Lastly, the credit card you 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’ll need to be 25 or older in many states in order to rent a car, although in some areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as with the company you’re renting from before you book to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel so you can avoid any unnecessary charges. When renting a car in the United States, you usually can’t cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, use car ferries or traverse rough terrain with your rental car. Please read all the rules and regulations before booking!
