KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Oxford

  • Oxford car rentals offer a more adaptable form of transportation if you need to go between different areas of the city. You can choose your preferred journey times and the most practical route(s) to take to get to your destination while using car rentals in Oxford as opposed to the city's public transit system. This choice is not available when using public transportation, which has predetermined departure times and routes. With your rental car, you can quickly reach Choccolocco Park, one of Oxford's most well-liked attractions.
  • At Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson Airport (ATL), you can rent a car from Thrifty, Enterprise, Avis, Hertz, or Budget and take advantage of self-driving. The facility for this airport can be found on 2200 Rental Car Center Parkway, not far from the Arrivals Terminal. Picking up your car at the airport location gives you access to a large selection of car models and types, in contrast to other rental facilities in the city. The airport site is also easier to access for drivers new to the city if you want to use car rentals in Oxford compared to the majority of other locations in the city.
  • When using car rentals in Oxford, there are a few things to have in mind. When you are driving with a child, they must always be buckled into a booster seat, child car seat, or another appropriate restraint device if they are under the age of eight or under the height of 4'9". The required restraint device can be obtained from any of Oxford car rentals companies upon request for a little daily fee. Keep in mind that it is usual for cyclists and pedestrians to cross the street in Oxford's central business district without first looking for oncoming vehicles.
  • It will be significantly difficult to use car rentals in Oxford during the morning and evening rush hours. Between 6:30 am and 9 am, the majority of Oxford's routes experience significant traffic delays, with Airport Road and Interstate 20 suffering the worst. Between 4 pm and 6:30 pm, the identical scenario takes place. If you must travel on Interstate 20 and Airport Road during these hours, think about starting your trip around 20 minutes before the scheduled departure time.
  • Book your car hire in Oxford at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Intermediate hire cars in Oxford are around 51% cheaper than other car types, on average

The sales rep wasn’t pleasant, seemed bother Ed to have to help. Don’t think she smiled once. Wasn’t able to get a car because I don’t have a credit card. I guess this is common knowledge but it wasn’t for me.

Wasn't notified that a car would not be there about a hour before pick up time. They were not going to have any cars for about 3 days. I'll use Enterprise for now on.
