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.
  • If you are flying to Milford, you will be landing at Wilmington Airport (ILG), about an hour north of Milford. You can pick up car rentals in Milford directly from ILG. 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.
  • Driving car rentals in Milford, Delaware, is pretty easy. The roads are well maintained and easy to navigate. The downtown area is small and may contain several one-way streets, so be sure to pay attention when driving in this area. Road users in this city generally adhere to the rules of the road and are respectful of other drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians alike, ensuring a safe driving environment throughout the city.
  • Driving Milford car rentals can be challenging during rush hours, typically occurring from 7 am to 9 am and again from 4 pm to 6 pm on weekdays.
