Airportrips provides professional pet transportation services built around the real needs of UK pet owners. From short local rides to cross-country transfers, every booking is handled with care so that your animal travels safely and without unnecessary stress.

We accommodate a wide range of journeys, including vet appointments, airport drop-offs, family visits, and planned day trips. All travel arrangements are confirmed in advance, ensuring a smooth experience for you and your pet from the moment you step into the vehicle.

Our drivers understand that animals need a calm, settled environment on the road. Vehicles are kept clean, well-ventilated, and prepared before each trip. Whether you are travelling with a dog, cat, or another small pet, we focus on creating the right conditions for a relaxed, reliable journey every time.

Complete Pet Travel Services for Dogs, Cats and Small Animals (1)

Our pet travel services cover every type of passenger, whether you are travelling with an energetic dog, a nervous cat, or a compact small animal. We tailor each journey to suit your pet’s size, temperament, and specific travel needs so nothing is left to chance.

Unlike standard taxis that may decline animal passengers, our service is built specifically for pet owners. You will never need to worry about last-minute refusals or unsuitable vehicles. Every booking includes a confirmed, properly prepared vehicle with space for your pet to travel safely and comfortably alongside you.

We also cater to multi-pet households, larger breeds, and passengers who require extra support during travel. All requirements are discussed at the time of booking, so the right arrangements are in place well before your journey begins, giving you full confidence and complete peace of mind.

Planning is at the heart of everything we do. When you book a transport journey with Airportrips, we take the time to understand your travel requirements before confirming any arrangements. This includes the type and size of your pet, the distance and duration of the journey, your preferred pickup time, and any specific needs your animal may have.

We select the most appropriate vehicle for your trip and brief your driver in advance so they arrive fully prepared. Routes are planned to minimise travel time and avoid unnecessary stress for your pet, with rest considerations factored in for longer journeys.

Whether you are heading to a vet clinic across town, catching a flight at a major UK airport, or making an intercity trip, our team handles every detail in advance. This approach removes the uncertainty that often comes with pet travel and replaces it with a structured, professionally managed experience you can rely on.

Travelling with a dog, cat, or small pet naturally raises questions about vehicle suitability and driver preparation, as well as extra costs and carrier requirements. Every journey is different, and what works for a small cat may not suit a large breed dog. That is why we have gathered the most common pet travel questions below, based on real enquiries from UK pet owners just like you. Reading through these answers will help you understand exactly how our service works, what we need from you at the time of booking, and how we prepare behind the scenes to make every trip as calm and comfortable as possible.

Whether you are planning a short vet visit, a long-distance family trip, or an airport transfer with your pet, knowing what to expect before you travel takes the stress out of the journey. The answers below cover everything from large dog accommodation and multi-pet bookings to airport transfers and pet carrier recommendations. If you have a question that is not listed here, or if your journey has specific requirements you would like to discuss personally, our customer support team is available around the clock. Simply contact us before booking, and we will walk you through the best options for you and your pet.

Yes, Airportrips offers a dedicated transport service for passengers travelling with animals. Unlike standard private hire vehicles that may refuse animal passengers, our service is built around pet owners. Dogs, cats, and small pets are welcome across our fleet. We ask that all pet travel requirements be mentioned at the time of booking so the most suitable vehicle can be confirmed and prepared in advance of your journey.

Yes, and this is really important. All pet travel requirements must be declared at the time of booking. This allows us to allocate the right vehicle, brief your driver, and ensure the appropriate space and conditions are in place for your animal. Last-minute disclosure can result in delays or, in some cases, a vehicle that is not fully prepared for your pet. Booking in advance with full details gives you the best possible travel experience.

Many people ask whether dogs are allowed on buses in the UK. While some bus operators permit well-behaved dogs at the driver’s discretion, there is no consistent policy across all services, and animals are often restricted on public transport. A dedicated dog transport service, such as Airportrips, is a far more reliable option. Your dog travels in a confirmed, prepared, and comfortable vehicle with no risk of being refused, making it a far better choice than relying on public bus services.

Absolutely. Airport transfers with pets are one of our most popular booking types. Whether you are flying with your animal in-cabin or sending a pet on ahead as cargo, we provide a calm, stress-free airport transfer that takes your animal’s needs into account. We cover all major UK airports and can accommodate a range of vehicle types depending on the size and number of pets travelling with you.

We operate a fixed transparent pricing model. Any applicable pet travel charges will be clearly confirmed at the time of booking, so you know the full cost upfront. There are no surprise fees added at the end of your journey. We believe in honest, straightforward pricing that gives pet owners complete clarity before they travel, regardless of the journey length or pet type.

Yes. We cater to passengers travelling with large and giant breed dogs, including Labradors, German Shepherds, and similar breeds. Larger dogs may require a bigger vehicle, such as our Mercedes Vito or EQV300 minibus, to ensure they have sufficient space to travel comfortably. Please provide your dog’s breed and approximate size at the time of booking so we can match you with the most appropriate vehicle from our fleet.

Yes, multiple pets can travel together in a single booking, provided the vehicle booked is large enough to accommodate them comfortably and safely. We regularly transport households with more than one dog, or mixed combinations of cats and dogs, on the same journey. Simply provide full details of all animals travelling when you make your booking, and we will confirm a suitable vehicle that meets everyone’s needs.

We strongly recommend that cats and other small pets travel in a secure carrier or crate for their safety and comfort during the journey. Dogs may travel on the rear seat or in the boot area, depending on the vehicle, though a travel harness is advisable for larger breeds. If you have specific requirements or your pet has particular needs, please let us know at the time of booking so we can advise on the best travel arrangement.

Airportrips is primarily a passenger-focused pet transport service where you travel alongside your animal. We do not currently offer a standalone unaccompanied pet courier service. If you need to transport a pet separately, we recommend contacting a specialist regulated animal courier. However, for journeys where you are present and travelling with your pet, we provide a first-class experience throughout the UK.

Yes. Our dog-friendly cab service covers locations across the United Kingdom, including major cities such as Manchester, London, Birmingham, Leeds, Liverpool, and beyond. If you are searching for dog-friendly cabs near you, simply use our fare calculator to enter your pickup and drop-off location and receive an instant quote.
