Car Rental Prices

How much does it cost to rent a car in Milford, CT?

On average, car rentals in Milford (CT) cost around $70 per day, with the lowest-priced rentals starting at $16 per day.

How to save?
  • Pick up in Milford, not Logan Airport. Skipping airport surcharges usually chops 15-25 % off the bill. Ride the Logan Express to Framingham or grab a rideshare, then snag your car locally.

  • Compare Milford, Framingham and Worcester in one search. A 15-mile (24 km) hop can reveal cheaper rates or a bigger vehicle pool, handy on Patriots game or foliage weekends when Milford sells out.

  • Tweak your dates. Shifting pickup/return to a full-week block (Mon–Mon, Tue–Tue, etc.) often unlocks discounted weekly pricing that beats 5-6 separate daily charges.

  • Go smaller if you can. Compact and economy cars are the cheapest to rent, easier to park on Milford's Main St and sip less gas on I-495 runs.

  • Know the seasons. Book early for October foliage or summer Saturdays when rates spike, but feel free to watch prices and re-book in quieter winter months—no penalty with most flexible deals.

Driving Distances from Milford

FAQs

What's the best vehicle type for visiting Milford?
Most visitors find that a standard or midsize car works well. In the winter (November–March), you might want an AWD/4WD vehicle to handle snowy roads better, especially if you plan to drive in the countryside.

Is Milford a good base for exploring the region?
Yes, you can use Milford as a great starting point to explore eastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island because it's right where I-495 and major state routes meet. You can easily drive to Boston, Worcester, Providence and coastal areas.

How do I get around Gillette Stadium on game days?
On game days and for big concerts, you'll find the traffic around Gillette Stadium is very bad. If you're going to an event, you should plan to get there at least 3 hours early. If you're just passing through, use a navigation app to find other routes and stay away from Route 1 near Foxborough.

Are there electric vehicle charging stations in Milford?
You won't find many charging stations right in Milford. You can find more in nearby Framingham and along I-495. If you rent an electric car, you should check a charging app to see what's open and plan your trips around that.

What should I know about winter driving in Milford?
Driving in the winter can be tough from December to March. Crews plow the main roads quickly, but the town might ban street parking during a snow emergency. You should think about getting an AWD vehicle for the winter and give yourself extra time to travel after it snows.

Is it worth taking day trips from Milford?
Absolutely. Milford's great location makes it easy for you to take day trips. Boston is about 45–60 minutes away if you avoid rush hour, Providence is about 40 minutes away and Worcester is just 25 minutes away. The Blackstone River Valley National Heritage Corridor starts just west of Milford, where you can take a scenic drive through historic mill towns.
