Questions and answers

Frequently asked questions

Can you collect directly from Marseille?

Yes. We can collect passengers travelling with dogs or cats from homes, hotels, apartments and vet clinics in Marseille and the wider Bouches-du-Rhône area.

How long does Marseille to the UK take with a pet?

Marseille is approximately 900 km from the Eurotunnel terminal at Calais. The drive typically takes 8–9 hours before the 35-minute Channel Tunnel crossing. We plan rest stops along the route for longer journeys. Total journey time to London is usually 11–13 hours.

Can I travel from Marseille to London with my dog?

Yes. This service is for passengers travelling with their own dog or cat. You and your pet stay together in the vehicle throughout the full journey, including the Eurotunnel crossing.

Is a private pet taxi better than flying from Marseille with a pet?

For many passengers, a private taxi is preferable to air cargo because your dog or cat stays with you throughout. Pets in air cargo travel in the hold, separated from their owner. Our service keeps you and your pet together at all times.

Can cats travel from Marseille to the UK?

Yes. Passengers can travel with cats from Marseille to London, Folkestone and other UK destinations. A secure carrier or suitable setup chosen by the passenger is recommended for the journey.

What documents may my pet need from Marseille to the UK?

Dogs and cats usually need a valid ISO microchip, current rabies vaccination and an Animal Health Certificate for UK entry. Dogs also usually need tapeworm treatment completed by a vet 24–120 hours before arrival at the UK border. Please confirm current requirements with your vet before travel.
