Welcome to Oxford

Park and Ride

What is the Park and Ride service?

Parking is limited in Oxford so we encourage visitors to use the Park and Ride service.

You can travel to Oxford by car, park in a secure car park on the outskirts of the city, and finish your journey into the city by bus. The buses are modern and frequent.

All five Park and Ride sites are run by Oxfordshire County Council. Parking is free at all sites. Please see the Park and Ride page of their website for more details.

All Park and Ride buses are run by private bus companies. For timetable details and information about fares, please contact the appropriate bus company. Contact details for Oxford Bus Company and RH Transport can be found below.

National concessionary bus passes for over 60's and disabled people are accepted on Park and Ride buses. 

Where are the Park and Ride car parks?

There are five Park and Ride sites around the city on Oxford's ring road.

They are:

  • Pear Tree
