How old do you have to be to rent a car in Salem?
Rental car rules in Salem require drivers to be 21 and older. Are you a young driver? Some restrictions and surcharges could apply. Most rental providers impose what is known as a young driver surcharge, which is an extra fee to the cost of the rental car. Restrictions usually apply to the categories of cars young people can rent as well. Age limits may vary between suppliers, so check before you book.
What do you need to rent a car in Salem?
Any rental company you select will require two things --- your driver's licence and credit card. If you'd prefer to opt out of the supplier's insurance plan, proof of your own coverage will also likely be needed. Read your policy thoroughly so you know what to bring when it's time to pick up the keys.

Where can I find a Salem car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies differ between rental companies, so you'll have to do some research. Found a Salem outlet that does rent to drivers under 25? Great!
