Leasing a car in Milford
Milford is split between Kent and Sussex counties, with a walkable downtown on the Mispillion River and growing neighborhoods out toward Route 1 and Route 113. Bayhealth’s Sussex campus brought new jobs, and many people here drive north to Dover or south to the beaches for work. For most brands, the closest dealer is a long drive away. I compare offers from dealers across Delaware, Pennsylvania and New Jersey and deliver the winner to Milford.
How Milford drivers use their cars
Hospital and local workers who stay near town often need about 10,000 miles a year. If you commute to Dover or down to Lewes and Rehoboth, 12,000 to 15,000 is safer. Shift workers should count the extra trips when we choose a mileage.

DMV offices are in Dover and Georgetown, each about a half-hour drive. The Delaware document fee on a lease.
