We know how important it is to travel with your beloved furry companions, but it’s up to drivers to decide whether they allow pets in their vehicles. If you plan to bring your pet along, here’s what you need to know.
Do drivers accept pets in their vehicles?
For each trip, you can check if the driver allows pets by looking for “Pets OK” or “No pets” on the trip details. If you’re unsure, it’s always a good idea to message the driver directly to confirm.
Tips for travelling with pets
Bring a blanket or towel: Help keep the car clean by covering the seat where your pet will sit.
Hold your pet: Keep your pet with you during the trip to prevent distractions.
Ask about seating: Check with the driver if they have a preference for where your pet should sit.
Don’t leave your pet unattended: Your pet must always stay with you.
Is there an extra charge for pets?
There’s no additional charge for bringing a pet. However, some drivers may ask you to book an extra seat if your pet takes up space that could be used for another passenger.
How many pets can I bring?
The number of pets allowed is at the driver’s discretion. Be sure to ask the driver how many pets they are comfortable with on the trip.
Does my pet need to be in a carrier?
While it’s not always required, keeping your pet in a carrier or on a cushion can help avoid distractions for the driver. Check local regulations for rules on travelling with pets, and ask the driver what their preference is.
Will the driver make stops for pets?
If your pet needs frequent breaks, ask the driver in advance if they’re willing to make extra stops during the trip.
