Our pet taxi Paris to London service takes you and your dog or cat from your door in Paris to any address in London or the United Kingdom, in a private Mercedes with a professional chauffeur, via the Channel Tunnel vehicle shuttle. No cargo hold, no kennel, no waiting: your companion stays by your side for the whole journey.
Price on request. It depends on your pickup address, your destination and the number of pets travelling.
At the time of writing, Eurostar passenger trains between Paris and London accept only recognised assistance dogs on board. Family dogs and cats cannot travel on the train, and airlines on this short route generally place animals in the hold or refuse them altogether.
A private car changes everything. The Channel Tunnel vehicle shuttle (Le Shuttle) and the cross-Channel ferries welcome pets travelling in a vehicle, so your dog or cat stays in the cabin with you from Paris to your final address. Your chauffeur handles the route, the crossing booking and the stop at the pet reception point, while you simply enjoy the journey.
Operator rules and pet policies are subject to change. We recommend checking the current conditions of Eurostar, Le Shuttle or the ferry company before you travel; we will also confirm them when preparing your quote.
No transfers between train, taxi and terminal. Your luggage, your crate and your pet are loaded once, at your door in Paris.
Stops for water and a short walk are planned along the motorway and at the terminal exercise area.
Professional chauffeurs, immaculate Mercedes vehicles and a fixed price agreed before departure.
Four steps, one point of contact, and a chauffeur who is used to travelling with animals.
Tell us your pickup address, destination, date, number of passengers and pets, and their size. We reply with a fixed price and a suggested departure time.
Before departure we go through your pet's paperwork with you: microchip, rabies vaccination, health certificate and, for dogs, the tapeworm treatment window.
Your chauffeur collects you in Paris, drives to the Calais terminal, presents your pet at the pet reception point and boards the vehicle shuttle. You stay in the car together during the crossing.
From Folkestone, the journey continues to your home, hotel, office or any address in London, the Home Counties or further across Great Britain.
Every vehicle is cleaned before and after each pet journey. Protective covers are available on request, and travel crates are welcome.
Spacious vans with a flat, high-ceiling rear area that accommodates a large travel crate, a big dog lying down, or two or three pets with their owners and luggage. The Mercedes EQV is the fully electric version, equally spacious and remarkably quiet, which many animals find reassuring. Up to seven passengers.
Elegant saloons for one or two passengers travelling with a small dog or a cat in a carrier on the rear seat or in the footwell. The Mercedes EQE is the electric saloon of the range. Up to three passengers with luggage.
To enter England, Scotland or Wales from France with a dog, cat or ferret, your animal generally needs the following. We review each item with you before departure, but the responsibility for valid paperwork remains with the owner.
Rules can change. Always check the official GOV.UK pet travel page (gov.uk/bring-pet-to-great-britain) before departure, and confirm the pet policy of Le Shuttle or your ferry operator.
Pets arriving by car must use an approved route. The Le Shuttle terminal at Calais and the main ferry ports to Dover are approved routes with a pet reception point where documents and microchips are checked.
Water and a bowl, a familiar blanket, a lead and harness, waste bags, a small amount of food, and a secure carrier or crate for cats and small dogs.
We also organise the London to Paris pet taxi. Entry into France has its own requirements; we will confirm them with you when planning the round trip.
The same chauffeurs and the same Mercedes fleet are available for shorter pet friendly journeys in and around Paris.
Meet and greet at arrivals for you and your pet, help with crates and luggage, and a direct transfer to your address in Paris or anywhere in the region.
Pet friendly transfers to and from Paris Orly Airport, with flight tracking so your chauffeur is waiting even if your arrival time changes.
Transfers between pet friendly hotels in Paris, railway stations, veterinary clinics, groomers and day-trip destinations such as Versailles or Fontainebleau forest.
Paris is a genuinely pet friendly city once you know its habits. Here are the essentials for a dog in Paris, before your pet taxi takes you on to London.
Small dogs in a carrier travel free on the Métro and buses; larger dogs on a lead and muzzle are admitted on some lines but rules vary. Ordinary taxis may refuse animals. A private chauffeur booked in advance removes the uncertainty, whatever the size of your dog.
Dogs are welcome on most café terraces and in many hotels of all categories, often for a supplement. Many formal gardens restrict dogs to certain paths; the Bois de Boulogne and the Bois de Vincennes offer the most freedom. Always carry waste bags.
Paris has many English-speaking veterinarians who can issue the animal health certificate and administer the tapeworm treatment within the required window. Book the appointment as soon as your travel date is confirmed; we can schedule the clinic transfer for you.
Whether you are relocating, returning home or simply visiting, our pet taxi service from Paris to London, to the Paris airports or across the city gives you one professional contact for every leg of the trip.
The price is given on request. It depends on your pickup address in Paris or the surrounding region, your destination in London or elsewhere in the United Kingdom, the vehicle chosen, the number of pets travelling and the Le Shuttle or ferry crossing fees. Request a quote and we reply with a fixed, all-inclusive price with no surprises on the day.
At the time of writing, Eurostar only accepts recognised assistance dogs on board. Other dogs and cats are not permitted, which is why a private car crossing the Channel via Le Shuttle or a ferry is the practical option for most pet owners. Always check the current rules of the operator before planning your journey.
Door to door, allow roughly seven to nine hours including the Le Shuttle crossing, pet document checks at the terminal and comfort stops for your animal. Traffic and crossing schedules can extend this time, so we recommend a morning departure.
Your pet generally needs a microchip, a valid rabies vaccination, an animal health certificate or valid pet passport accepted for entry, and, for dogs, a tapeworm treatment given by a veterinarian between one and five days before arrival. Rules can change, so always check the official GOV.UK pet travel page before departure.
For large dogs, several pets or a travel crate, we recommend the Mercedes V-Class or the electric Mercedes EQV. For one small dog or cat in a carrier, the Mercedes E-Class or the electric Mercedes EQE is comfortable and discreet.
Information about pet entry rules is provided for guidance only and may change. Please consult the official GOV.UK pet travel page and your transport operator before departure. For the full step-by-step crossing, read our guide to travelling with pets on the Eurotunnel shuttle.
Send us your dates, your addresses and a few words about your companion. We reply with a fixed price and everything you need to prepare the crossing.
