11 Car Rental Brands in Oxford, England, United Kingdom

The staff at the rental location were quite professional, patiently answering all my questions about vehicle operation. The car was relatively new and easy to handle, which was very helpful for me as a first-time driver of a right-hand drive car. He didn't try to sell me anything, but I decided to add full insurance at the store for peace of mind. It wasn't expensive, just over 100 pounds for 7 days. Because the rural roads in the UK are narrow, I initially wasn't used to it and scratched the wheels. When I returned the car, the staff said they would hold my 500-pound deposit and refund it after the insurance claim. The refund was processed in a few days. Traveling through the Cotswolds without a car would be inconvenient; the most enjoyable part of my trip to the UK was driving through the countryside.

I booked a Mercedes C, but upon arrival, they said it wasn't available and offered a DS instead. I agreed, but then they said the DS wasn't available either and asked if I could take an XC40 with a 15% discount. After a day of driving, the right rear tire kept indicating low pressure.

The pick-up was handled by a polite gentleman who didn't push us to buy insurance. We requested it ourselves, and he explained the benefits of each option, eventually upgrading us to an eight-cylinder car. On the road, a friend drove into a ditch, causing two tires to blow out in a remote part of Scotland. We called for roadside assistance, and expected to miss dinner, but the tow truck arrived in less than 20 minutes. We then got a replacement car at the service station, which, although not as good as the original, allowed us to continue our journey and have dinner on time. Thankfully, we had purchased insurance, so we didn't have to pay anything extra.

Very satisfied, the car pickup was very simple. While they did recommend insurance, it wasn't forced. I booked a Skoda automatic but got a Passat instead. The trunk was especially large, the seats had heating, and it supported Apple CarPlay. The car was very new and exceeded my expectations.

The service was average, nothing extraordinary. The first car had a flat tire due to a nail, so we had to return and get a second one, which had a full tank of gas. In the UK, they are quite casual about things. Even though the contract mentioned a full tank, they might not actually provide it. They won't refund extra fuel when you return the car, but will charge you for any missing fuel plus a service fee. That's just how it is in the UK.

I often use Hertz and find them good. The branch is nice and friendly--occasionally I get 'upgraded' to a car that's too big, but this was the one I asked for. Particularly impressed that they refunded me for returning the car full when I received it 7/8 full.
