Your dog does not have to travel in a crate, we just need to know if we need to allow space in the car for it.

We would always recommend booking as soon as you know your plans, this gives you the best availability of our service.
The large estate cars are our most common cars and these cars can take approximately 5 large cases and hand luggage. We need to know how much luggage you will have at the time of booking so we can allocate an appropriate sized car, there may not be availability if you let us know you have extra luggage the day before your booking.

Customer Reviews

The ride from Paris CDG to London with our cat Bellini couldn’t have gone smoother. The booking process was easy and the price was very reasonable. Ben was an excellent driver and made every step of the way a breeze. We left CDG at 10:30am CEST and arrived in central London at around 4pm BST, so about 6.5 hrs total. Thank you for helping us and our kitty get to London.

Drew

Had such a lovely experience with Pet Travel Abroad when relocating my dog, Tuna, from the US to England, via the Eurotunnel. I did a lot of research prior to booking with them and they were the best priced for this service that I could find. Wonderful communication with the company and the driver, Geoff. He was waiting for us upon our arrival and he very helpful with loading and unloading bags. He was a sweetheart and very knowledgeable of the pet reception process, which was a relief. Highly recommend Pet Travel Abroad for your pet taxi needs!
