Hire a car to visit Oxford, England and fall in love with the town's tall spires, medieval buildings, and bucolic parks. Home to the oldest English-speaking university in the world, Oxford's tranquil setting is curiously compatible with the energetic pace set by the student population. Here, exalted culture meets youthful exuberance. There are any number of stately museums to visit, and an equal number of funky shops and restaurants. Dignified tours of the colleges are available, as is punting - propelling one's self along the river in a wooden boat with a pole and generous supply of ale. Oxford is easy to access by road from London. A rental car will also be convenient for excursions outside of the city. Kemwel offers several England pick up locations and a large car hire fleet.
Traveling in Oxford with a Car Rental
Motorists will find driving (and parking) in the very centre of Oxford somewhat prohibitive. However, driving a rental car to Oxford from other cities or major airports can be more affordable taking a charter bus. Once you arrive in Oxford, refresh with high tea at The Rose on High Street. Or, head over to Turf Tavern, a local favorite, Here you can toast the beginning of your Oxford vacation in the pub's beer garden, where coal fires for roasting marshmallows crackle in spring and fall. Want to blend in with the students? Pick up a shirt or sweater emblazoned with the official Oxford logo from the University of Oxford shop.
Guided tours of Oxford's numerous colleges are a pleasant way to spend a morning or afternoon. Or, the town's many parks may inspire a picnic. Stop by Blackwell's Books first for excellent reading material; you're sure to find something you like in the shop's 10,000 square feet of rows and rows of books. Indulge in some shopping at Oxford's Covered Market, where you can also enjoy organic, fair trade vegetarian food at Alpha Bar. For extra feisty appetites, dine at the Hi-Lo Jamaican Eating House's communal table for fried plantains, rum, and reggae music. Before the end of your vacation, take a day to explore Woodstock, a historic village just a short eight mile drive outside of Oxford.
