Sorry for being 'one of those people' who asks on a forum about parking, but I've done my research and can't see a way around this one. I'm hoping someone local might know some local tips / tricks?

I've been offered a secondment with work that I'd really like to take. However, it will involve being based in central Oxford. My initial expectation was that I'd be able to use public transport (train from Haddenham or park and ride) however I will need to be on site from 5:30am - about an hour earlier than any public transport could get me there for. Parking seems almost impossible in Oxford - despite there being 24 hour car parks the cost is just too prohibitive (it'll be coming out of my own pocket).

Where I currently work I park for £4.20 a day. Oxford will be circa £18 a day (looking at 6 out of 7 days)!

Any local tricks, or is this a non starter?
