Oxford is now offering free parking at the above Pay and Display locations (green markers) during the evening and on Sunday. Please click on the Pay and Display location marker for details on the free times, as they are different at some locations.
When parking in Oxford please keep the following in mind:
- Oxford is very crowded, and parking spaces can be hard to come by, so leave extra time.
- Bring plenty of coins (no 5p) because the Pay and Display meters do not take notes, and there are no change machines.
- Pay close attention to when your parking ticket expires because the parking police are going to ticket you!
- You may need to obtain a ticket from the meters even during free parking times - please check the meters for details.
- Help cut down on city congestion and pollution by using public transportation and Park and Rides.
Please note that there is no overnight security at the Oxford Park & Rides. Security staff leave Pear Tree, Seacourt and Redbridge at 5pm on Saturday and Sunday, and 11:15pm on weekdays. Security staff leave Water Eaton and Thornhill at 6:45 on Saturday and Sunday, and 11:30pm on weekdays. We do not recommend leaving your car overnight at the Park & Rides. They are intended for commuters only.
