Understanding the service

What is a pet taxi?

A pet taxi is a private transport service designed to move a dog, cat or small pet in suitable conditions. With AnimalCab, owners can remain beside their companions throughout the journey.

Unlike an ordinary taxi chosen at random, the vehicle is matched to the animal, its carrier, the passengers and the luggage. The driver therefore prepares a coherent solution before collection.

01

Pets with their owners

Dogs, cats and small pets travel with their owners, subject to available seats.

02

Carriers and luggage

Dimensions are checked before selecting a pet vehicle, saloon or van.

03

Door-to-door service

Collection from homes, hotels, clinics, train stations and airports.

Trips built around your needs

One solution for every destination.

AnimalCab serves Paris and every department of Île-de-France, by prior booking.

Pet taxi Île-de-France

AnimalCab arranges pet taxi journeys across Île-de-France for dogs, cats and small pets, from Paris to the inner and outer suburbs. A vet appointment, holiday or house move may involve several departments. Your two addresses, accompanying passengers and luggage determine the vehicle and fare, confirmed before booking.

  • Montparnasse, Saint-Lazare, Austerlitz and Bercy
  • Lead and muzzle required for dogs
  • Size-S carrier or small closed soft bag for cats

  • Older, anxious or recovering pets
  • One-way, return or waiting time on request

Everyday life and special occasions

A pet taxi for much more than a veterinary appointment.

An animal’s life is not limited to medical visits and holidays. AnimalCab can also organise everyday journeys and special outings, with the owner on board whenever the vehicle configuration allows it.

Groomers, boarding and daycare

Travel to a groomer, dog or cat boarding facility, daycare centre, trainer or pet activity centre, with transport adapted to your companion’s size and temperament.

Hotels, house moves and adoption

Transport to a pet-friendly hotel, a new home, a foster family or an adoption location. Carriers, luggage and the animal’s belongings are included when selecting the vehicle.

Shows and pet events

Journeys to dog or cat shows, beauty competitions, sporting events, authorised dog races, pet fairs or photo sessions, arranged in advance.

Cats travel with care too

Their gentle nature deserves an equally thoughtful journey.

Whether your kitten is curious or your adult cat more reserved, we prepare a calm, clean setting suited to its carrier or travel bag.

Respecting every personality

Every cat reacts differently. Smooth driving and a prepared setup help preserve familiar cues throughout the journey.

The pet taxi in real situations

A clear service for every type of journey.

Every booking records the pet, passengers, carrier and luggage so the genuinely suitable vehicle can be assigned.

FAQ

Questions before departure

Can I travel with my pet?+

Yes. AnimalCab transports pets with their owners. One or more people may travel, depending on the selected vehicle. We consider the pet’s size, any travel crate, the number of passengers and the luggage so that everyone has enough room throughout the journey.

Do you accept large travel crates?+

Yes. We can carry IATA crates and XL, XXL or XXXL formats when the appropriate vehicle is booked. Before booking, provide the length, width and height of every crate, together with the number of passengers, pets and bags. A van is usually required for the largest loads.

Do you transport large dogs?+

Yes. We transport breeds such as Great Danes, Saint Bernards, Newfoundlands, Leonbergers, Mastiffs, Rottweilers, German Shepherds, Belgian Malinois, Golden Retrievers and Labradors. The vehicle is selected according to the dog’s breed, weight and size, any crate, the passengers and the luggage. Regulated dogs must travel with the documents and equipment required by law.

Can I book a night journey?+

Our service is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, by prior booking. To secure a time slot, we recommend booking at least 12 hours in advance. For a veterinary emergency, we do our best according to availability and may attend even late at night when we are available. The website accepts bookings around the clock and you can also contact us on WhatsApp. Our telephone line is not staffed throughout the night, but we reply whenever we are available.

How is the price of a pet taxi calculated?+

The price of a pet taxi depends on the pickup point, destination, distance, date and travel time. We also consider the required vehicle, the number and size of the pets, the number and dimensions of their crates, the luggage and the number of passengers. These details allow us to quote a fair fare and assign a vehicle with enough space.

Which cities and long-distance destinations do you serve?+

AnimalCab serves Paris and the whole of Île-de-France, including Boulogne-Billancourt, Saint-Denis, Montreuil, Nanterre, Versailles, Créteil, Argenteuil, Cergy, Évry-Courcouronnes and Melun. From or to Île-de-France, we also consider journeys to Lyon, Marseille, Bordeaux, Lille, Strasbourg, Nantes, Rennes, Toulouse, Nice and Montpellier. Geneva, Monaco and neighbouring countries — Belgium, Switzerland, Luxembourg, Germany, Italy and Spain — are available on request, subject to journey feasibility.

Which animals do you transport?+

We mainly transport dogs, cats and small pets travelling with their owners. Rabbits, guinea pigs, ferrets and domestic birds may travel in a suitable, secure carrier. For a less common species, tell us before booking so we can check the transport requirements and the vehicle needed.

What information do I need to provide when booking?+

Provide the exact pickup and destination addresses, date, requested time, number of passengers and bags, and the species, breed and weight of every pet. If you use a crate, include its length, width and height. For an airport or station transfer, add the flight or train number and arrival time. These details help prevent capacity problems on the day.
