This page explains the designated parking areas for large vehicles. It also includes how to get information about coach permits and drop-off points in the city centre.
Parking for large vehicles
Large vehicles include (but are not limited to) lorries, coaches, mini-buses, towed caravans or trailers, box vans, LWB vans, motorhomes and large campervans.
Large, high-sided or long vehicles are unlikely to meet car park height restrictions or fit inside a standard parking bay.
In Oxford, there are two designated parking areas for larger vehicles.
