A small compact car would make an ideal ride for your time in Salem, as the city is made up of narrow streets and roads. Other than being economical, the small car can easily navigate the narrow streets into hidden parking lots. However, a minivan or would serve you better if you plan to travel with more than three other people and more luggage.
You are not permitted to exceed 20 mph while driving your Salem rental car through a school or residential area. The speed limit in congested areas of the city is 30 mph, but it rises to 40 mph on the city's outskirts, where there is more space. You can drive up to 50 mph on urban highways, while rural interstate highways have a speed limit of 60 mph.

Oct 2020
Pros:
The car was clean, new, and the reps at the location were friendly and helpful. Answered all my questions.Cons:
At my initial pick-up the branch was empty, doors unlocked, no one inside, no cars in the lot. Another customer was there for a similar pick-up time. When I went inside the branch the alarm went off and the police showed up. Phone Customer Service was eventually able to schedule me for a pick-up the next day, and thankfully I didn't need the car until then, but it did waste a few hours of my day and cause a lot of frustration. The pick-up on the following day was much smoother, the reps were quick and friendly. Probably just a freak occurrence, but still annoying. Still have no idea why no one was at the first branch at the original pick-up time.10.0 Wonderful
Dec 2019
Pros:
The staff was very organized, helpful, and efficient. Daniel Joyner (Danvers, MA) was a pleasure to work with. He had the van ready to go when I arrived. We did a quick review of the vehicle and he showed me how all controls worked. I really liked the electronic pad used to initial and sign the agreement - very easy & efficient.Cons:
I would have liked the gas tank to be full when I picked up the van. I do not like picking up a vehicle with the tank half empty.... When I am racing to my destination on a long drive, having to stop to get gas is a dissatisfier.10.0 Wonderful

Good thing i did not have to use the windshield wipers. The window cleaner they used left a film on the windshield. It was very dangerous. I did not have to fight a wet road and spray thank God. I told them about it.9.2 Wonderful

Pros:
The car was very good. Powerful and new.Cons:
It didn't feel squeaky clean, like alot of other rental cars have. It didn't smell, but had a warm dankness, as though it had been sitting in a hot location not totally clean inside.One location in Salem
