Can my pet travel in a taxi?

Good to know before you travel

A pet may travel free of charge if it is transported safely in a crate. Always mention the animal in the remarks, because not every driver takes pets; we will then find a driver with whom this is certainly possible. A large dog crate counts as one large suitcase for vehicle selection.

A comfortable journey

A crate ensures a calm and safe journey. For vehicle selection, a large dog crate counts as one large suitcase; therefore, accurately fill in the remaining luggage.

We recommend bringing water for long journeys, especially if you anticipate the pet might get thirsty.

Why checking beforehand makes a difference

The question 'can my pet travel in a taxi?' usually doesn't arise for no reason. You want to arrive on time, avoid surprises, and know what to expect on the day. A comfortable ride doesn't just depend on the number of seats. Suitcases, aids, prams, and unusual luggage take up space and together determine which vehicle is suitable for the booking.

The best preparation aligns with your specific situation. Therefore, enter people and luggage separately and accurately. The calculator uses this data to choose between a sedan/estate car and a taxi van. For an unusual or large item, contacting us beforehand is wiser than discovering something doesn't fit only when boarding.

How to apply this to your own journey

In the remarks section, include anything the driver needs to know beforehand. Think of assistance with boarding, a foldable wheelchair, a crate, or extra-large luggage. This way, the journey can begin without a rush. Use the details of the actual traveller, even when someone else makes the booking.

After calculating, take a moment to check all details before paying. This ensures that the practical information from this article is not just theory, but becomes a clearly and calmly prepared journey.

In short

With a safe crate and prior notification, your pet can travel free of charge.
