Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Milford car reservation?
Cancelling your rental car with at least six hours notice should allow for your money back. However, this is not always a given. It's worth reading through your itinerary and cancellation policy. Still can't find the answer? Hop on our Customer Service Portal.
What types of cars can I rent in Milford?
Cost-effective, easy to handle and with excellent mileage, it's no coincidence that compact vehicles are the most commonly booked type of rental in Milford. Drive around this city in one of these and you'll be able to fit into tight parking spaces and easily get around busy streets. A compact is perfect for city getaways or short road trips. But they're not your only options. Go even smaller with an economy model or bigger with a full-size or premium — there's a style of vehicle to suit you!
Where can I go on a road trip from Milford?
Milford offers adventures galore, but don't restrict yourself to one place. Book a set of wheels and head off to explore the wider area. Here are a few ideas:

  • Make your way to Christchurch for an excellent sightseeing adventure. Approximately 129 kilometres from Milford, it has loads of great attractions, including Lyttelton Harbour.
  • Why not see the wonders of Dunedin too? Popular sights in this colourful city include Larnach Castle. Dunedin is approximately 193 kilometres from Milford.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Milford?
Drivers need to be at least 21. But there are a few age-related requirements to be aware of before locking in your wheels in Milford. If you're a young driver, most rental companies will charge an extra fee and limit the types of vehicles you can rent. This size of the surcharge, and which age range it applies to, differs between providers. Take a moment to compare the rules.
What do you need to rent a car in Milford?
While booking conditions may differ between outlets, the two key things you'll need are a valid driver's licence and a credit card in your name. You don't need to take out insurance with your rental company. However, proof of your own coverage may be required.
What side of the road do you drive on in Milford?
If you're renting a car in Milford or planning a road trip in greater New Zealand, remember that you'll be driving on the left-hand side. Also, the steering wheel and some controls will be on the opposite side of what you're accustomed to in the U.S. This may take a while to get the hang of, so take things slow at the start.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Milford?
Expedia makes it a snap to book a quality long-term rental in Milford. Simply visit our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip preferences and compare your choices.
Where can I find a Milford car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies are different between rental suppliers, so be prepared to do some research. Found a Milford outlet that does rent to drivers under the age of 25? Great news! Just bear in mind that extra fees often apply to drivers aged between 21 and 24. The terms and conditions of each rental car you're looking at will have all the details you need.
