Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Salem car reservation?
We understand that plans change and flexibility is important. That's why many rentals give a full refund if you let us know at least six hours before the collection time. You may want to read the policy though because there are some exemptions. If you can't see any details there, make your way to our Customer Service Portal.
What types of cars can I rent in Salem?
Bustling city streets and tight parking spaces are no bother for an economy car --- the most sought-after type of rental in Salem. Take the wheel of one of these and drive around traffic effortlessly. Reliable, affordable and good on gas, these small rides pack plenty of punch. But Salem can be explored in almost any sort of rental you like. Compact, full-size and premium vehicles are other options to consider.
Where can I go on a road trip from Salem?
There's so much to do in Salem, but head further afield and you'll find more sightseeing magic. Arrange a set of wheels and you can meander around the greater area at your own speed. Add these awesome places to your to-do list:

  • You'll find El Paso Zoo and loads more amazing sights in El Paso. From Salem, it's 129 kilometres away.
  • About 56 kilometres away, Las Cruces is also a favourite with travellers. Be sure to check out New Mexico Farm and Ranch Heritage Museum while you're here. It's one of the reasons people love coming to this colourful city.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Salem?
If you're 21 and above, you can rent a vehicle in Salem. Bear in mind that rental outlets will charge an extra fee if you're a young driver, which helps cover the higher accident risk involved. Also, young motorists are often restricted from renting luxury cars or larger vehicles. Browse the terms and conditions before booking to avoid any hassles during pickup.
What do you need to rent a car in Salem?
While rules may differ between car rental outlets, the two things you'll need are your driver's licence and a credit card in the same name. You don't need to take out the company's auto insurance. However, proof of your own coverage may be required.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Salem?
Yes, so you won't have to rebook a rental vehicle mid-holiday. Head over to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip details and secure a set of wheels that's all yours for the next month or so.
Where can I find a Salem car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies are different between rental suppliers, so you'll have to do some research. Found a Salem outlet that does rent to drivers under 25 years of age? Terrific news! Just be aware that some companies charge extra fees to drivers aged between 21 and 24. The fine print of each rental car you're looking at will have all the details you need.
