KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Milford

  • When planning a trip to Milford, it would be in your best interests to get a rental car while in the city. With car rentals in Milford, you can freely visit some of the top attractions in the city, such as the Silver Sands State Park, Connecticut Air & Space Center and the National Helicopter Museum, among others. A rental car gives you the ultimate freedom and flexibility to check out each place without worrying about excessive taxi fees or inconvenient public transport timetables. You can check out neighboring cities such as Boston and drive to Fenway Park for live and entertaining MLB games.
  • The city of Milford is served by Tweed New Haven Airport, which is roughly 12 miles from the city center. When coming into the city by plane, you should consider getting your Milford car rentals from the airport. The airport is served by four rental agencies, including notable names such as Avis, Enterprise, National and Budget. Each rental agency has a desk in the arrivals area next to baggage claim where you can inquire about your rental or make a reservation. Once you have completed all the administrative processes at the desk, you will be guided to the parking lot, which is just outside baggage claim, where you can pick up your rental and drive off.
  • When driving around the streets of Milford, you should be extra careful when approaching intersections and use your turn signals before making a turn. With plenty of cyclists and other pedestrians, this will go a long way in helping you avoid collisions or minor accidents. It is also worth mentioning that the city has plenty of one-way streets, so be sure to look for signs alerting to that fact to avoid any trouble with traffic enforcement.
  • As you pick up your car rentals in Milford, you will be happy to learn that the city doesn’t have any toll roads, as is the case with most major cities in the United States. This means you won’t have to worry about additional costs when driving around the city. However, one downside to driving in Milford is that traffic can be a menace during certain times, especially the morning rush hour from 7 am to 9 am and the evening rush hour between 4 pm and 7 pm.

George, Sept 2020

Pros:

Staff was friendly and helpful

Cons:

Maintenance on the vehicles are poor. The treads on both front wheels were way below what would be considered safe. The right front wheel also had a small air leak so i had to constantly fill it with air when available. They have a no smoking policy, however the vehicle had clear signs of smoking, from the headliner on the B pillar being discolored from smoke to obvious markings on the passenger seat and drivers side A pillar, as well as a slight smoke odor coming from the vents.
