Keeping everyone comfortable
Simple preparation makes the trip calmer for your pet and easier for the driver.

Why people book a pet friendly taxi in Croydon
Getting a nervous cat to the vet on a bus, or a large dog across town on the train, is stressful for everyone. Many people don't drive, and others can't use their own car on the day. A pet friendly taxi takes the problem away: one car, door to door, with a driver who knows an animal is coming.
Out-of-hours vet trips
Pets don't choose convenient times to fall ill. Because we work 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, we can take you to an out-of-hours or emergency vet at night or at the weekend. Call the office, tell us it is urgent, and give us the vet's address.
Assistance dogs
Assistance dogs are always welcome in our cars. Licensed private hire drivers are required by law to carry assistance dogs at no extra charge, unless a driver holds a medical exemption. If you travel with one, simply mention it when you book so the office has the details.
Days out with your dog
Croydon has some great places for a long walk. Addington Hills in Shirley has woodland and views over London, Farthing Downs near Coulsdon is open chalk grassland, and South Norwood Country Park in South Norwood has wide paths and a lake. If you don't drive, we can take you there and collect you afterwards.
Bigger dogs and more than one pet
A large dog, or two dogs and their owners, often travel better in an estate car or an MPV. Our 6 seater taxi has room for a family and a dog. Let us know what you are bringing and we will suggest the right vehicle.
Pets and longer journeys
Some customers take pets on longer trips, such as moving to a new home outside London or visiting family for the holidays. Plan a short break on long journeys, bring water, and tell the office in advance. If your pet is joining a train trip, see our Croydon to Paddington taxi page.

FAQ
Pet friendly taxi questions
Do I need to tell you I'm bringing a pet?
Yes, please. Telling us when you book means we send a driver and car that suit your animal.
Does my cat need to be in a carrier?
Yes. Cats, rabbits and other small animals should travel in a secure carrier for their own safety.
Can you take my dog to an emergency vet at night?
Yes. We are open 24/7. Call the office, say it is urgent and give us the vet's address.
Are assistance dogs allowed?
Yes. Licensed private hire drivers must carry assistance dogs at no extra charge, unless a driver holds a medical exemption. Just mention it when you book.
What if my dog is very large?
Tell us the breed or size. An estate car or MPV is usually the best choice for a big dog.
