Questions and answers
Frequently asked questions
Can you collect directly from Nice or the Côte d'Azur?
Yes. We can collect passengers travelling with dogs or cats from Nice, Cannes, Antibes, Monaco, Menton and the wider Côte d'Azur area.
How long does Nice to the UK take with a pet?
Nice is approximately 1,100 km from the Eurotunnel terminal at Calais. The drive typically takes 9–10 hours before the 35-minute Channel Tunnel crossing. We plan the journey with rest stops. Total journey time to London is usually 12–14 hours.
Is it better to fly or take a private taxi from Nice with a pet?
For many passengers, a private pet taxi is preferable to air travel because your dog or cat stays with you throughout the journey. Pets in air cargo travel in the hold, separated from their owner. Our service keeps you and your pet together at all times.
Can I travel from Nice to London with my dog?
Yes. This service is for passengers travelling with their own dog or cat from the French Riviera to the UK. You and your pet stay together in the vehicle throughout, including the Eurotunnel crossing.
Can cats travel from Nice to the UK?
Yes. Passengers can travel with cats from Nice and the Côte d'Azur to UK destinations. A secure carrier or suitable setup chosen by the passenger is recommended for longer journeys.
What documents may my pet need from Nice 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 arriving at the UK border. Please confirm current requirements with your vet before travel.
