Important information about Oxford car hire

How do I get from London Heathrow Airport (LHR) to the car hire centre?

If you've booked online before arriving, you'll be able to pick up your car at the car hire centre at London Heathrow Airport (LHR). To get from the airport to the car pick-up location, you'll make your way to the arrivals concourse, just after the luggage claim, and go to the car hire desks. From there, you'll arrange a shuttle to the car hire centre for the company you booked through. You can also arrange with the company to have someone meet you in the arrivals hall. If you're travelling to a car hire centre in Oxford, a good way to get there from Heathrow is by taking the Heathrow Express train to London Paddington, then changing to a train to Oxford. Alternatively, you can take the bus from Heathrow Central Bus Station to Oxford Bus Station, which runs roughly every 30 minutes and takes approximately 1h 40min.

What documentation do I need to hire a car in Oxford, England?

There are a couple of things you'll need to have before hiring a car in Oxford. Firstly, you'll need to be at least 21 with a valid licence that's no less than a year old. If you're younger than 25, be prepared to pay an additional young driver's surcharge. Additionally, you'll need to provide proof of identification, like a national ID card or a passport. You may also need to provide proof of address, such as a utility bill or bank statement. You'll need a credit card in your name for the deposit. If you used a card to pay online, you must have the same card with you. It's important to note that the specific requirements may vary depending on the car hire company, so it's always best to check their website or contact them directly for their specific requirements. If you're planning on driving into other parts of the UK or Europe, you'll need an International Driving Permit along with your driving licence.

What driving laws should I keep an eye out for in Oxford?

When driving in Oxford, there are several important rules and regulations to keep in mind. Firstly, be aware of the numerous one-way streets and bus lanes throughout the city, as well as the pedestrianised areas in the city centre. It's also important to note that there are several low-emission zones in the city, which may have specific requirements for your vehicle. Oxford has strict parking regulations, with limited on-street parking and numerous pay-and-display car parks throughout the city. It's important to pay attention to parking signs and pay for parking where required, as fines can be steep. Finally, it's illegal to use a handheld mobile phone while driving in the UK, so be sure to use a hands-free device if you need to make a call.

Can I drive to other states, regions or countries with a hired car from Oxford?

It's possible to drive to other regions and countries with a hired car from Oxford, but there are certain documents you might need. Firstly, make sure you've informed your Oxford car hire company of your intention to leave the country with the vehicle. If you're travelling to European countries, you'll need a valid driving licence, proof of insurance and vehicle registration documents. You may also need an International Driving Permit, depending on the country you're visiting. For non-EU countries, such as Switzerland, you may need additional documents such as a Green Card, which proves insurance coverage. It's essential to check the specific requirements of each country you plan to visit and ensure you have all the necessary documents before beginning your journey.
