Welcome to Oxford, Ohio, a place where the charm of a small town meets the convenience of modern amenities. Whether you're a resident soaking in the local vibes or a visitor here to explore, you'll find a variety of parking options tailored to your needs. Picture this: metered parking spots dotting the city, inviting you to park and explore without worry, especially since they're complimentary after 6pm on weekends and after 8pm on weekdays. And if you're staying at one of the cozy single-family homes, you'll likely have the luxury of on-site parking.
Stroll through the quaint neighborhoods, and you'll notice some have Residential Permit Parking restrictions, a gentle reminder to respect the community's peace. But don't fret, the Oxford Police Department is here to guide you. Their officers, ever vigilant, ensure parking laws are followed, helping to keep the streets welcoming for everyone. If you happen to forget to pay a parking fine, be mindful that it can lead to more than just a ticket—vehicles may be impounded, and fines can grow with additional fees from collection agencies, to the tune of 27% more. So, it's always best to settle those fines promptly.
Now, let's talk about the parking ordinance in Oxford. It's designed to keep your parking experience as smooth as possible. While free parking spots are a delightful find, it's important to remember the rules. For instance, your vehicle should embrace new scenery every 72 hours, as it can't remain parked on a public street for longer. These ordinances are the town's way of ensuring everyone gets a fair chance at parking, and they're in effect all year round. For those who prefer a worry-free option, the Municipal Parking Garage is a haven. It's watched over 24/7 and keeps an electronic eye on your vehicle with video surveillance.
But the heart of Oxford's parking scene is Downtown, where convenience meets accessibility. Take the Parking Garage on Octoraro Alley, nestled next to the Presbyterian Church—it's a prime spot. Or perhaps the covered parking haven on South Second Street, which stands proudly across from the Oxford Public Library, is more your style. The town also boasts metered parking, user-friendly mobile parking kiosks, and a handy mobile parking app to make your parking experience as seamless as your visit to Oxford.
Step into the hallowed halls of history at the Bodleian Library, a treasure trove of knowledge nestled in the heart of Oxford. This venerable institution has been a beacon of learning since the Middle Ages, and its breathtaking architecture captivates scholars and visitors alike. Imagine wandering through the grandeur of the Radcliffe Camera or exploring the venerable Old Bodleian Library, a bastion of tradition cradling Oxford's most ancient tomes.
But the wonders of Oxford don't end with its prestigious university. Venture to the historic St. Mary's Church, a cornerstone of the city since around 1280. Climb the tower for a panoramic view of Oxford's dreaming spires—a vista that will etch itself into your memory. Don't miss the medieval cathedral, lovingly restored in 1462, with its enchanting Lady Chapel from 1490 and choir stalls, once repurposed by Oliver Cromwell's soldiers amidst the turmoil of the English Civil War.
For a touch of nature's splendor, the Oxford Botanic Gardens await. A summer stroll here reveals a tapestry of floral beauty, with the occasional peacock strutting majestically or a fox darting through the underbrush. However, be mindful of parking in Oxford's bustling center—spaces are scarce. While there are paid parking lots available, they often limit stays to a few hours, so plan accordingly.
Don't overlook the majestic Christ Church Cathedral, a cornerstone of Oxford's academic and architectural heritage. Its spires and domes rise gracefully into the sky, a testament to the city's storied past. And for those with a curiosity for the natural world, the University's Museum of Natural History is a must-visit. Its exhibits range from delicate botanical specimens to awe-inspiring dinosaur fossils unearthed in Oxfordshire. After your explorations, unwind at the museum's café, a perfect spot to reflect on the day's discoveries.
Are you eager to glide through the charming streets of Oxford in an eco-friendly fashion? Look no further! Oxford, a city steeped in history and academia, invites you to experience its treasures with a green conscience. At the heart of this picturesque town lies the prestigious University of Oxford, with origins tracing back to the 12th century. Although it boasts no singular campus, the university's storied colleges are nestled throughout the city, waiting to be discovered. Beyond academia, Oxford's allure extends to enchanting sites such as the Botanic Garden and the Museum of Natural History.
In a forward-thinking move, the Oxford City Council is championing the use of electric vehicles (EVs) by investing in a rapid charging network for electric taxis. This eco-conscious initiative ensures that drivers can swiftly power up their vehicles, minimizing downtime and keeping journeys smooth for all. Moreover, the city's push for Ultra-Low Emission Vehicles (ULEVs) is gaining momentum with support from the Office for Low Emission Vehicles, paving the way for a cleaner, greener Oxford.
Joining the environmental crusade, Hertz, a titan in the car rental industry, has forged a partnership with the university to offer an electric fleet to the university community. This groundbreaking program empowers students, faculty, and staff to embrace zero-emission travel, whether for daytime errands, nocturnal adventures, or weekend escapades. The fleet, featuring the all-electric Mitsubishi IMiEVs, is not just a nod to modernity but a commitment to shrinking the university's environmental footprint—one silent, electric mile at a time.
Vehicles must be returned with the same amount of fuel as at the start of the rental. We offer a prepaid fuel option, allowing you to save time and get a better fuel price, as we will refuel the car for you. If you're unable to refuel or chose not to prepay for fuel and are late returning the vehicle, you can return it as is, and we will refill it for an additional service fee.
We offer a selection of minivans and minibuses, with sizes ranging from 6 to 12 seats. In Oxford, our most popular minivan models include the Mercedes Vito, Renault Trafic, and Peugeot Traveller. To avoid disappointment, consider booking 1-2 months in advance.
Our one-way car rental service allows you to collect your vehicle from Oxford and drop it off at another destination once your journey concludes. This offers you the freedom to plan your itinerary without the need to loop back, thanks to its speed, convenience, and practicality.
Every driver must pay for their own fines. A Statutory Declaration that identifies you as the driver will be created and sent to the relevant authority. An administration fee will be charged to your credit card once the transaction is complete.
