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.

Rejected first car offered as it had tire issues. 2nd Car had been smoked in recently and stunk. Had to take 2nd car as no others available. First car offered not safe to drive. Left rear tire was 8 pounds low. Front right tire had Dime size chunk of rubber missing from the tread face. The agent in Lewes had been apprised of those issues when I turned in the same car 3 days earlier. She offered me the same car. I assumed it had been fixed. It had not.

The car was fine. It drove well, and there were no problems.. Ir was adequate I'd use them again.

Cons:

There was no one at the car rental pickup when i got there. I had to call a number and no one answered. AS i was calling the 2nd number, a man showed up. There seemed to have been some trouble with my credit card. The man was patient and we got through it. I would have liked a reminder about the tolls and that I didn't have EZ pass.
