Do you need to rent a car for Oxford? From a tourist’s perspective, renting a car is generally not necessary due to Oxford’s compact size, excellent public transport, and pedestrian-friendly streets. Parking challenges and traffic restrictions in the city center make walking, cycling, or using buses more convenient for sightseeing.
