This page explains parking spaces for motorcycles (motorbikes, scooters and mopeds) in the Oxford City Council run car parks across Oxford and the on-street parking in the city centre.
Motorcycles in car parks
Motorbikes, scooters and mopeds can park for free in most Oxford City Council run car parks. There are some exceptions where motorcycle parking is chargeable or unsuitable.
In summary:
- some car parks have free designated areas for motorcycles
- motorcycles can park in standard bays for free in most council run car parks (exceptions include Gloucester Green underground car park and the Redbridge, Pear Tree and Seacourt park and ride sites)
- we recommend using Oxpens car park which includes a large designated area close to the entrance
- we don't recommend Gloucester Green underground car park which is not free for motorcycles and is ramp activated
- always check signs before you park
For parking charges and more information, see our Council car park directory.
