Can I rent a car directly at Salem Station?

What's the best way to get around from Salem Station?

Renting a car gives you the most flexibility for exploring beyond the rail network — useful for reaching coastal towns, countryside, or destinations not served by direct trains.

You'll need a valid driver's license, a credit card in the renter's name, and a government-issued ID or passport. International travelers may also need an International Driving Permit. Pack these in your carry-on, not in checked luggage, so they're available on arrival.
