KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Milford

  • Car rentals in Milford, Delaware, are a fantastic way to explore everything this small town has to offer. There are public buses available, but they do not reach every corner of the city. As a result, it would be a hassle to rely on public transport during your time in Milford. Car rentals in Milford offer you the freedom to explore local attractions like the Milford Museum and the Mispillion Art League. Or, you can drive a bit further to the coast to visit Slaughter Beach or Big Stone Beach. Driving Milford car rentals gives you the flexibility to explore all these sites and more on your own schedule.

To locate the rental car desks, head to the arrivals area and you will find the counters adjacent to the baggage claim within the terminal building. The airport is served by several well-known rental companies. Once you complete your paperwork and receive your keys, proceed to the rental car lot directly across the street from baggage claim.

For one thing your people could answer the phone when you call them. Was calling them for two (2) hours they never answered the phone, so I drove down there and they were all sitting around talking to each other.

They closed the location and cancelled my trip. When I contacted customer service, they would hang up on me. I can’t believe they would cancel a confirmed reservation. I plan on contacting them directly as well.
