Private chauffeur · You and your pet
Door to door to Paris, Brussels or Calais, with your pet beside you.
A private chauffeur collects you and your dog or cat from your door in the UK and drives you both all the way. One car, one driver, one fixed price.
Fixed price
Same driver all the way
You stay with your pet
Safety comes first.
Your pet is family, so we plan the journey around their comfort before anything else.
You stay with your pet
You ride in the car with them from your front door to the destination.
One driver, start to finish
The same chauffeur all the way, so your pet is never handed from one vehicle to another.
A climate-controlled car
Cool in summer and warm in winter, and your pet is never left alone in it.
Secure and non-slip
A non-slip floor and room for the crate, harness or travel bed your pet already knows.
Water and planned breaks
Water on board and stops timed to your pet and the route.
Paperwork checked first
Microchip, rabies vaccination and the health certificate for your route, confirmed with you before the date is fixed.
Calais, Brussels and Paris, both ways.
Collected from your door in the UK and delivered to an address in the city, or the other way round. Cross by Eurotunnel from Folkestone or by ferry from Dover, whichever suits your pet and the day.

How a booking works.
Three steps, and you know where you stand at each one.
Send your request
Tell us the route, the date you'd like, who is travelling and about your pet. It takes about three minutes.
Get your fixed price
We confirm the date, check your pet's paperwork with you, and send one price for the whole journey before you commit.
Travel together
Your driver collects you and your pet from your door and stays with you all the way. Water and breaks are built into the journey.
Three ways to get your pet to Europe.
Most owners weigh the same options. Here is how they feel on the day.
Driving yourself
The whole day is yours to run: the motorway, the crossing, the stops and a nervous passenger.
A courier without you
Your pet travels alone while you wait at home for a message to say they've arrived.

Questions people ask first.
Do I travel with my pet?
Yes. These are private chauffeur transfers for you and your pet together, with you in the car for the whole journey.
What paperwork does my pet need?
For most trips from Great Britain to the EU: a microchip, a rabies vaccination, and an animal health certificate from an official vet. Returning to the UK has its own rules. We check what your route needs with you before the date is confirmed, and your vet or the GOV.UK pet travel pages have the current detail.
When do you confirm a date?
Once we have checked the route, our availability and your pet's paperwork with you. We confirm in writing.
How does pricing work?
You get one fixed price for the whole journey before you commit. It depends on the route, the number of passengers and pets, and the date.
Can I bring more than one pet?
Yes, within what fits comfortably in the car. Put the number and sizes in the request and we'll confirm.
