10 tips to save on your car rental in and around Oxford

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle type and desired features. Whether you're looking for an SUV for extra room, a convertible for summer drives, or an economical car for budget-friendly travel, utilize the filters on Expedia to find the perfect fit for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary based on demand, so it's advisable to secure your car well ahead of your trip. By booking early, you’re more likely to obtain lower rates and enjoy a wider selection, especially during peak travel seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Compact cars typically cost less to rent and are easier to maneuver and park in crowded areas. Mid-size cars offer a balanced option in terms of price, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily fees, and certain vehicle types—such as SUVs or luxury models—might be unavailable. This can also apply to renters over the age of 70. Always verify the age restrictions prior to booking.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements require a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you need to return the vehicle with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is generally the most economical choice. Other options may include full-to-empty or prepaid fueling, which are acceptable as well; just remember to return the car empty in that case.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: Renting a car from the airport often incurs a surcharge, but the convenience may justify the extra cost.
  7. Know your payment options: Most car rental companies accept only credit cards for payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help you avoid unexpected expenses and provides peace of mind if something unforeseen occurs during your trip. Adding car rental insurance is a straightforward process when booking through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you plan to take long road trips, search for rental options that offer unlimited mileage to prevent incurring extra costs.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver’s license is essential for renting a car.

  • Head to Halifax for a fantastic sightseeing experience. Roughly 75 miles from Oxford, it's home to tons of inspiring sights such as Halifax Citadel.

What do you need to rent a car in Oxford?
The main things are a valid driver's license and a credit card in your name. Car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may have to provide proof of other coverage if you opt out. Be sure to check with your supplier to avoid any hassles.

These rates were available on Expedia, with a rental starting date within the next year. Prices and availability are subject to change and additional terms apply.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Oxford?
Yes. We partner with quality companies that offer long-term rentals for all types of cars. Take a look at our long-term car rental deals and explore every bit of Oxford — or beyond!
Where can I find an Oxford car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies are different between rental companies, so you'll have to do a bit of research. Found an Oxford supplier that does rent to drivers under 25? Great! Just bear in mind that some companies charge extra fees to drivers between the ages of 21 and 24. The fine print of each rental car you're considering should have all the information you need.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Oxford?
It's a good idea to have collision damage protection to cover your Oxford car rental against theft, accident damage and vandalism. And with Expedia, it's easy to purchase this insurance for your vehicle at the time of booking. Covering primary physical damage of up to $35,000, it also offers 24-hour emergency assistance and a zero-dollar deductible in the event of a claim. Have your plans changed? If you cancel your insurance before your scheduled pick-up time, you'll receive a 100 percent refund.
Can I drive in Oxford with my current driver's license?
If you don't hold a driver's license issued in Canada, then it's likely you'll need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country to be allowed to rent a car. You should also note that if you do need an IDP, it has no validity on its own. You'll be asked to show your current license your passport and other forms of documentation as well. Lastly, it's important that the credit card used to book the rental matches the name on your driver's license and passport. Some additional requirements to rent a car internationally are:
  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 or over in most countries to rent a car. If you're younger than that, it may still be possible to rent a car but you'll have to pay a Young Driver's Surcharge. Additional restrictions may also apply to the types of cars you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before driving away. With rental cars, you usually can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or on certain types of rugged terrain with a rental vehicle.
