KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Oxford

  • Using car rentals in Oxford offers unparalleled convenience and flexibility. With a rental car, you can effortlessly explore the city and its surroundings at your own pace without relying on public transportation schedules. This is particularly advantageous for visiting nearby attractions, grocery shopping, or navigating less accessible areas. The comfort and privacy of a rental car make it a superior option to relying solely on alternative transport, enhancing your overall travel experience in and around Oxford. With Oxford car rentals, you can visit areas like Hueston Woods State Park, the charming historical district of nearby Hamilton, and the Miami University Art Museum.
  • When you visit Oxford, you'll likely land at Cinci./N. Kentucky Airport (CVG) or LUK Cincinnati Muni Airport (LUK). LUK's car rental facility is located within the airport terminal near the baggage claim area. The rental counters at CVG are situated adjacent to Ground Transport West, seamlessly connected to the terminal structure. This location can be found at 3057 Terminal Drive, and there's no requirement for a shuttle to reach the counters from the baggage claim level. When you leave the baggage claim section, you'll notice the rental car center entrance on the right-hand side.
  • Driving car rentals in Oxford generally reflects a calm and considerate demeanor among locals. The atmosphere is relaxed, with drivers tending to respect traffic rules. Bicycles are common due to the city's pedestrian-friendly layout and the presence of Miami University. While trucks are present due to the university's activities and local commerce, they don't dominate the roads. Pedestrians, including university students, are prevalent but generally adhere to crosswalks. Common vehicles include sedans, SUVs, and smaller trucks, contributing to a well-balanced traffic mix.
  • Although a fun experience, navigating car rentals in Oxford, OH, can pose challenges during rush hours, typically from 7:30 am to 9 am and 4:30 pm to 6 pm on weekdays. High traffic volumes occur on High Street, College Avenue, and Locust Street as students commute to Miami University. Limited parking spots around the university and downtown areas can also be problematic. Being mindful of these peak hours and congestion-prone roads can help enhance the rental car experience in Oxford.

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in Oxford?

    There are several factors to consider when choosing the type of car to drive, like the number of passengers, local region, and luggage. A midsize SUV would be recommended if you travel with around five passengers, and it also has ample storage space for luggage. The added height provides good visibility in city traffic, and the SUV's versatility accommodates various road conditions and potential longer drives beyond the city. This choice balances passenger comfort, luggage capacity, and maneuverability.

  • What's the speed limit in Oxford?

    The speed limits in Oxford generally adhere to standard urban regulations. Residential areas often have a limit of 25 mph to prioritize pedestrian safety. Main roads and thoroughfares usually allow speeds of 35 to 45 mph, while some outskirts and highways may permit up to 55 mph. It's essential to pay attention to posted speed limit signs, especially around the Miami University campus and downtown, where pedestrian activity is high. Adhering to these limits contributes to both safety and a smoother driving experience.

  • Where are the best places to park in Oxford?

    Parking options in Oxford vary by location. For visitors exploring Miami University, metered parking spots are available around campus. In the Uptown area, public parking lots provide hourly rates. For downtown attractions, metered street parking and nearby garages offer convenience. If you visit Hueston Woods State Park, ample parking is accessible near its amenities. Remember to check time restrictions and fees at each location. Adapting your parking choice to your destination will ensure a hassle-free experience while discovering Oxford's diverse attractions. Depending on the spot, expect to pay around $2 for an hour of parking in Oxford.
