Giant Van Man and Van Across Oxford
With Rent a Van Oxford, man and a van in Oxford for college moves requires a process most removal firms don't follow.
University colleges prohibit vehicle access without written permission from the Domestic Bursar — arranged in advance, typically five to ten working days before moving day.
Our drivers are familiar with the Broad Street loading bay windows (before 8 am only) and know to approach via Speedwell Street and Park End Street to avoid the ANPR bus gates on High Street, Queen Street and St Aldates.
A £60 PCN for driving through a bus gate adds to your bill if your driver takes the wrong route — ours don't.
Our Oxford Man and Van Navigation Plan
With Oxford Man and Van, man and van in Oxford across different neighbourhoods requires different approaches.
Jericho (CPZ Zone JE) is residents-only from 8 am to 6 pm — bay suspensions from Oxford City Council cost £30 per bay per day and require ten working days' notice.

Summertown (OX2) has wide residential streets with good van access.
