Top Tips for Hiring a Convertible Car in Oxford
- One of the UK’s most culturally-iconic cities, Oxford and its Medieval architecture awaits you with lush greenery, 38 high-end colleges, movie set backgrounds, and the famous 12th-century university in the centre. Oxford convertible car hire is a refined and luxurious way to take in your surroundings. Whether staying local or up for some road-tripping fun, hiring a car will allow you to easily visit the Blenheim Palace, head east to Chiltern Hills for magnificent vistas or take a trip to Stratford-upon-Avon and visit the home of William Shakespeare.
- When looking for convertible cars to hire in Oxford, you will find only select car hire companies carry stock. A good place to hire a convertible car in Oxford would be the closest airport, which is London Heathrow. It's about an hour away by car along the M40 motorway and has an extensive range of car hire companies, like Europcar and Enterprise. You can find them at Terminal 1 at Arrivals on the ground floor. If you would like to hire a convertible car in Oxford city, there is a branch of Europcar in Little Mead Business Park.
- Driving your convertible car in Oxford will be a delight as the roads are in great condition and quite wide just outside the inner city. The motorway most used to get in and out of Oxford is the M40. A convertible may make you feel free, but seat belts are still mandatory for all passengers. Stick to the speed limit, particularly in the inner city areas, as there are many student pedestrians. You can drive up to 30 mph (48 km) around built-up areas. 60 mph (96 km) is often the maximum speed outside urban areas, and when you hit the motorways, you can drive up to 70 mph (112 km).
- When you hire a convertible car in Oxford, the potentially gloomy weather will be your biggest challenge. Summer will hopefully bless you with sunny days, but keep an eye on weather reports for quick showers, which may ruin a drive. Driving in the inner city can also be challenging, as roads tend to be narrower, so it's best to avoid it when possible. Pedestrians own the streets, and with all the colleges, you will find the inner-city is far friendly for bicycles and mopeds. Some of the larger roads experience congestion, and you should avoid weekday rush hours if possible. Peak times are usually from 6 am to 9 am and from 4 pm to 6 pm. Please be on the lookout for intoxicated students stepping into the road at night. They are used to having right-of-way, and a night out could lead to some jaywalking.

If you're visiting Oxford, it's ideal to park at your accommodation for vehicle security. You can find parking in town, but it may not be the most affordable.

At pick up I was told there was no damage to the vehicle, but upon my inspection I found scratches and paint chips which I showed to the manager. The damage was then documented, but this raises concerns that lax oversight will lead to false damage claims for the renter. Scamming going on?National
