Pet Friendly Taxi in Edgware

Need a car for you and your dog or cat? Tell us about your pet when you book and we will look for a pet friendly driver.

Not every driver can take animals, so finding a pet friendly taxi in Edgware can be a worry when you have a vet appointment or a trip to the kennels. When you book with us, tell us about your pet. We will ask local licensed minicab companies for a driver who is happy to carry animals, and you will know before the journey whether it is confirmed.

Common pet journeys

  • Trips to the vet, including emergency visits outside normal hours.
  • Drop-offs and collections at kennels, catteries and dog groomers.
  • Moving house with a pet.
  • Trips to a pet transport office or airport when your animal is flying separately. Check the airline's own rules first.

How to book a pet friendly cab

  1. Book online or call 02037405080.
  2. Say what animal you have, its size and whether it travels in a carrier.
  3. Wait for confirmation that a pet friendly driver is available before you rely on the booking.

Please book as early as you can. Fewer drivers accept animals, so short-notice bookings can be harder to cover.

Tips for a smooth trip

  • Cats and small animals should travel in a secure carrier.
  • Dogs should be on a lead and, if possible, on a blanket or in a crate. Bring a blanket to protect the seats.
  • Bring water for longer journeys, and let the driver know if your pet gets travel sick.
  • Expect a cleaning charge if the car needs cleaning after the trip. Ask the operator how this works.

Assistance dogs: licensed private hire drivers must carry assistance dogs at no extra charge, unless they have a medical exemption. Tell us when you book so the operator can plan.

Choosing the right car

A saloon is fine for a cat in a carrier. A larger dog is often more comfortable in an estate or MPV, where there is room for a crate. If you are travelling as a family with a dog, a 6 seater taxi gives everyone more space.

Longer trips with pets

We can also quote for longer journeys, for example to a family member's home outside London or to an airport. See our Heathrow taxi page for airport trips.

Areas covered

We arrange pet friendly cabs from Edgware and nearby, including Borehamwood, Elstree, Stanmore and Mill Hill.
