Questions and answers

Frequently asked questions

Can you take passengers with pets from the UK to France?

Yes. We provide private pet taxi travel for passengers travelling with their own dog or cat from the UK to France. You and your pet stay together in the vehicle throughout the journey, including the Eurotunnel crossing where applicable.

Do you collect from London, Kent or Sussex?

Yes. We can quote for collections from London, Kent, Sussex, Folkestone, Dover, Ashford, Canterbury and nearby areas. Other UK pickup locations may also be possible by quote.

Can I travel from London to Paris with my dog?

Yes. London to Paris pet taxi journeys can be arranged for passengers travelling with dogs or cats. The usual route is via Folkestone, Eurotunnel and Calais before continuing through France.

What documents may my pet need to enter France from the UK?

Dogs and cats usually need a valid ISO microchip, a current rabies vaccination and an Animal Health Certificate issued by an Official Veterinarian before travel to France. Passengers are responsible for ensuring all pet travel documents are correct and valid. We can provide general guidance, but we do not check, approve or validate pet documentation. Please confirm current requirements with your vet or the relevant authorities before travel.

Do dogs need tapeworm treatment when travelling from the UK to France?

Tapeworm treatment is normally required for dogs entering the UK, not usually for dogs entering France. However, rules can change, so passengers should always confirm current requirements with their vet before travel.

Does my pet travel separately?

No. This is a private pet taxi service for passengers travelling with pets. Your dog or cat stays with you in the vehicle and does not travel separately, in cargo, or as an unaccompanied courier journey.

Which French destinations do you cover?

We can quote for Calais, Paris, Lille, Charles de Gaulle Airport, Orly Airport, northern France and other French destinations depending on route, timing and availability.
