Oxford is famously not a car-friendly city, though it has a strong vehicle manufacturing history. Morris Motors was established in Oxford in 1910, and it has been home to the production site for Mini cars since 2000. In 2022, A pilot Zero Emissions Zone (ZEZ) was launched in the city centre, meaning all petrol, diesel and hybrid vehicles will incur a daily charge for driving in the area, and there are various other traffic restrictions in place.

Oxford has a Zero Emission Zone to cut carbon emissions and improve air quality. Vehicles that produce zero emissions, such as fully electric cars, motorcycles and vans, can use the zone without incurring a charge. However, all petrol, diesel, and hybrid vehicles will be charged for driving in the ZEZ between 7 am and 7 pm unless they have an exemption or 100% discount. The zone is signalled by traffic signs and enforced using numberplate recognition cameras around Oxford. You can pay the charge online.

Driving in cities like Oxford puts extra strain on your car due to long periods of idling and frequent stopping and starting in traffic.

Manoeuvring into tight parking spaces and navigating busy roads can result in scuffed alloys and dented or scraped bodywork while driving over potholes can throw out your suspension.
