ThumbRidesMemphis to Oxford Rideshare & Carpool
Share a planned ride from Memphis, TN to Oxford, MS — free, with no booking fees.
The Oxford–Memphis corridor links Ole Miss to the nearest major city and airport. University of Mississippi’s 23,000 students head north to Memphis for flights, concerts, and city amenities, while SEC game-day traffic adds to an already busy route.
Why carpool Memphis to Oxford?
Oxford has no commercial airport of its own, making Memphis—75 miles up US-278 and I-22—the go-to hub for every Ole Miss student catching a flight home or visiting family. When you add game-day traffic and regular weekend trips, there’s almost always someone else making the exact same run who’d gladly share the gas.
