Delta would certainly have paid for a car rental plus gas and probably a meal allowance on the way.
This is definitely not true. Airlines do not compensate for alternate means of transportation, unless you can get their customer relations department to do it, after the fact. And, it's highly unlikely that they will reimburse you. Most contracts of carriage state that due to a cancellation or delay, they are responsible only for a refund of your fare, or transportation on a later available flight or alternate carriers flight.
