Timing, honestly
6 to 8 hours is a plan, not a promise.
Your addresses, LeShuttle check-in, M20 and Paris traffic, border processing, rest breaks for your pet and crossing availability all move the clock. France is one hour ahead of the UK; allow for local time when planning your day. We agree a pickup time; we do not promise a fixed arrival time.

05 / Questions
London to Paris, answered
How much is a London to Paris pet taxi?
£810 base fare for one pickup in London and one drop-off in Paris. It includes 1 passenger, 1 pet, either 1 large suitcase and 1 small suitcase or 2 small suitcases, plus one backpack. Each extra large suitcase is £25, each extra small suitcase is £15, and each extra passenger or pet is £25. The LeShuttle ticket is charged separately. We confirm the final price before you book, with no unexpected charges after confirmation. A quote and slot stay available for 24 hours; after that we recheck availability.
How long does London to Paris take with a pet?
Allow roughly 6 to 8 hours as a planning guide. The real time depends on your addresses, LeShuttle check-in, traffic, border processing, rest breaks and crossing availability. France is one hour ahead of the UK, so we do not promise a fixed arrival time.
Is the Channel Tunnel crossing the whole journey?
No. The train itself takes about 35 minutes. Most of the day is road driving on both sides, plus check-in and border time at Folkestone.
Does my dog need tapeworm treatment to go to France?
Not simply to enter France from Great Britain. When your dog later returns to Great Britain, a vet must give and record tapeworm treatment between 24 and 120 hours before arrival in Great Britain.
Who is responsible for my pet's travel documents?
The owner is responsible for valid paperwork. We share general preparation guidance; your Official Veterinarian and the relevant border authorities determine document validity. Check the current GOV.UK guidance and your vet before travel.
Can you collect from Heathrow or drop off outside Paris?
Airports, extra stops and addresses outside London or Paris are possible only once confirmed. Enter the full addresses in the quote tool or message us and we will confirm the price before booking.
