Your cancellation policy should have all the details you need. If you can’t see the answer there, our Customer Service Portal is available to help.
What types of cars can I rent in Salem?
Whatever suits your style! Go for an intermediate or full-size if you’re travelling with the family, or level up to a premium if it’s sophistication you’re after. Or, choose an economy vehicle — the most booked home in Salem. Affordable and with awesome mileage, they’re ideal for solo travellers, couples or anyone else who doesn’t require a large amount of space. They’re particularly suited to city exploring. Zipping into narrow parking spots will be a cinch!
Where can I go on a road trip from Salem?
Salem has plenty to keep you on the move, but don’t restrict yourself to only one place. Rent some wheels and hit the open road to discover what else awaits in the surrounding area. Here are some places to consider:

  • Chapel Hill is 177 kilometres from Salem. Well-known attractions like University of North Carolina should be high on your list here.
  • Why not check out everything on offer in Greensboro too? Notable tourist attractions to see here include Greensboro Coliseum. Greensboro is 137 kilometres from Salem.
  • Great Falls Park is around 306 kilometres from Salem and is one of the region’s most beautiful nature spots. Go for a walk around and enjoy the fresh air.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Salem?
You’ll need to be 21 and over to jump behind the wheel of a rental car in Salem. Keep in mind that young drivers may be restricted to renting from a few car categories, such as compact, economy and medium size. Higher age limits generally apply for luxury and specialty vehicles. Most companies will also charge a young renter fee. Check the rules before clicking the book button and factor any surcharge into your budget.
What do you need to rent a car in Salem?
While rules may differ between car rental outlets, the two key things you’ll need are a current driver’s license and a credit card in your name. You don’t need to take out auto insurance with your home provider. However, proof of alternative coverage may be required.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Salem?
You can. Expedia partners with quality providers that offer long-term holiday homes for a wide range of cars. Pick up one of our long-term car rental deals and discover every part of Salem — or far beyond!
Where can I find a Salem car rental if I am younger than 25?
This will depend on the car rental companies that are found in Salem. They often have different policies when it comes to minimum ages. If you’ve found an outlet that does cater to drivers under the age of 25 take note that additional costs may apply. Do some research into any extra charges before you collect the car.
Can I drive in Salem with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a driver’s license from the United States, then you may need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before starting the home process. If you find that an IDP is part of the requirements to drive in the U.S, note that you’ll also need to show your current valid driver’s license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, the credit card that was used to rent the vehicle must match the name on your license and passport in order to confirm your home. Additional requirements for car rentals 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 regulations, and with the car rental company before you travel to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel so you can avoid any unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, it’s usually prohibited to cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive on ferries or go off-roading with your home. Please read the details before you book!
