Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Oxford car reservation?
When you cancel at least six hours in advance of collecting the car, many prepaid reservations offer a total refund. However, not every one is eligible for this, so it's important to read your rental agreement. Read through your itinerary for the details or visit our Customer Service Portal for more information.
What types of cars can I rent in Oxford?
Mini, economy, full-size, premium ... The choice is yours! However, compact models are the most popular in Oxford. If you're after something inexpensive and small, but not too small, this rental car category is the ideal choice. Driving around traffic-filled streets will be easy in one of these. Compact vehicles offer a little more room compared to economy rides and are well-suited to solo travellers, couples and families on a budget.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Oxford?
Drivers with a valid licence aged 21 and over can rent a car in Oxford. While some suppliers may be willing to rent to drivers younger than 21, a fee will be added. Find out what age range the young driver surcharge applies to, and the cost, before booking your wheels. Companies also restrict the categories of cars young drivers can rent. Higher limits are in place for specialty and luxury vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in Oxford?
While booking conditions can differ between rental car outlets in Oxford, the two main things you'll need are a valid driver's licence and a credit card in the same name. You don't need to take out insurance with your rental company. However, proof of alternative coverage may be required.
What side of the road do you drive on in Oxford?
Cars drive on the left-hand side of the road in Oxford. This means that the driver's seat and controls are also on the other side. Allow a bit of extra time to familiarise yourself with your new wheels before setting out.

Where can I find an Oxford car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies are different between rental suppliers, so be prepared to do a little research. Found an Oxford supplier that does rent to drivers under the age of 25? Great news! Just take note that extra charges often apply to drivers between 21 and 24. The terms and conditions of each rental car you're interested in should have all the details you need.
