London to Amsterdam, via France and Belgium

Pricing comes from the quote tool with your real addresses. The crossing ticket is separate, and we confirm the final price before you book.

01 / Two ways to send your pet

With you in the car, or travelling without you

Accompanied

You ride with your dog or cat from London to Amsterdam. Your pet stays with you in the vehicle, including during the crossing. Add extra passengers, pets and luggage in the quote tool.

Unaccompanied

For owners who have flown ahead or cannot travel that day. Moving a pet without its owner can fall under different movement rules, so we review the paperwork with you before confirming. Someone must be ready to receive the pet in Amsterdam.

Discuss unaccompanied transport

Best for owners relocating to the Netherlands, or anyone who does not want a pet travelling in an aircraft hold to Schiphol.

02 / The route

London to Amsterdam, stop by stop

After Calais, the journey crosses Belgium before entering the Netherlands and continuing north to Amsterdam. Allow for the driving on both sides of the Channel as well as check-in, border processing and pet breaks; the crossing alone is not the whole journey.

03 / Before you book

What helps at each end

Collecting in London

  • London address, not just a postcode

    Flats, mews and controlled parking change how long loading takes. Tell us about stairs, lifts and where a vehicle can stop.

  • Moving house?

    For a relocation, list the luggage you need in the vehicle so the quote and space review reflect it. Arrange household furniture separately with your removals firm.

  • Restraint or carrier ready

    Agree a suitable restraint for your dog or a secure carrier for your cat before collection. Keep water, food and any medication accessible for the day.

Arriving in Amsterdam

  • Canal streets and narrow access

    Central Amsterdam streets can be tight with limited stopping space. Share building access details so we can plan where to stop.

  • Amstelveen, Haarlem or elsewhere?

    Enter the real destination in the quote tool. Addresses outside Amsterdam are possible once confirmed and priced.

  • Someone to receive the pet

    For unaccompanied transport, name the person collecting at the Amsterdam end and how to reach them on the day.

04 / Paperwork

Check the official rules first

Pet travel rules change, so we do not reproduce them here. Read the current GOV.UK guidance and speak to your vet well before your travel date. You are responsible for valid documents; vets and border authorities decide whether they are acceptable. For unaccompanied transport, we review the movement paperwork with you before confirming.

We drive from London to Folkestone, cross with LeShuttle (Eurotunnel) to Calais, then continue by road through Belgium into the Netherlands and on to your Amsterdam address. P&O Ferries can be requested instead, subject to pet travel arrangements and availability.

Can my pet travel to Amsterdam without me?

Yes, we offer unaccompanied dog and cat transport as well as journeys where you travel with your pet. Unaccompanied moves can fall under different movement rules, so we review the paperwork with you before confirming. Do not assume the documents for travelling together are enough.

How is the London to Amsterdam price worked out?

For an accompanied journey, use the quote tool with your exact London and Amsterdam addresses, date, passengers, pets and luggage. Contact our team for an unaccompanied transport quote and paperwork review. The LeShuttle crossing ticket is charged separately. We confirm the final price before you book.

I am moving to Amsterdam with a lot of luggage. Will it fit?

Enter every suitcase and bag in the quote tool so we can check vehicle space before confirming. Large household items are better sent with a removals company.

What documents does my pet need for the Netherlands?

Check the current GOV.UK guidance on taking your pet abroad and speak to your vet in good time. The owner is responsible for valid documents; vets and border authorities decide whether they are acceptable.

Rather talk it through first?
