Pet Taxi & Dog Friendly Chauffeur in Nottingham
Pet-Friendly Chauffeur
in Nottingham
Not every taxi accepts pets, and even when you find one that does, you still need to think about your dog's size, behaviour, luggage and how comfortable they will be during the journey.
Intel Cars provides pet-friendly chauffeur travel in Nottingham for customers who want to travel with their dogs or other suitable pets.
Whether you are going to the vet, groomer, airport, family home or another destination, you can book your journey in advance and tell us what you need.
A dog-friendly journey planned around you
Every pet is different.
Some dogs are happy to jump into a car and settle down. Others can become nervous in an unfamiliar vehicle. A large dog may also need more room than a small dog travelling in a carrier.
That is why it is important to tell us about your pet when you book.
Let us know:
- What type of pet you are travelling with
- Your dog's approximate size
- How many people are travelling
- How much luggage you have
- Whether you are using a carrier or crate
- Any special requirements we should know about
This helps us understand the journey before the driver arrives.
Safety comes first
Pet-friendly does not mean that every animal or every journey can be accepted.
If a dog is aggressive, dangerous or likely to create a safety risk for the driver, passengers or animal, the journey may not be suitable.
If you are unsure whether your pet can travel, tell us about the situation when booking. It is always better to discuss it beforehand than to have a problem when the vehicle arrives.
Why finding a taxi for your dog can be difficult
If you have ever tried to arrange transport with a dog, you may already know the problem.
You cannot simply assume that every taxi will accept pets.
You may also have to think about:
- Finding a vehicle at the time you need it
- Carrying your dog and luggage together
- Travelling with children at the same time
- A large or nervous dog
- Early morning or late evening journeys
- Finding transport for a vet appointment
- Getting to the airport with your pet
- Making a longer journey outside Nottingham
Pre-booking removes much of that uncertainty.
You can explain your requirements before the journey and make sure the service is suitable.
How much does a dog taxi cost?
For dog journeys with Intel Cars, the minimum fare is £40.
The final price can depend on the journey itself, including the pickup location, destination, distance and any other requirements.
This is why it is better to give us the full journey details when asking for a quote.
There is no need to guess the price or assume that travelling with a pet is free.
Dog taxi for vet appointments
A trip to the vet can already be stressful for a dog.
If your pet is nervous, injured or simply does not like travelling, adding several parts to the journey can make things harder.
A direct private journey lets you travel from your pickup address to the veterinary practice without changing vehicles.
When booking, tell us:
- Your pickup address
- The vet's address
- Your appointment time
- Your dog's size
- Whether you are bringing a carrier or other equipment
If the appointment is important or time-sensitive, booking your transport in advance is recommended.
Taking your dog to the groomer
A grooming appointment can also be easier when your transport is arranged beforehand.
Instead of wondering whether you can find a pet-friendly taxi when you are ready to leave, you can book your journey in advance.
This can be particularly useful if you have:
- A large dog
- More than one pet
- Children travelling with you
- Bags or other items
- A longer journey to the groomer
Tell us the full details when booking so we can understand what the journey requires.
Dog Taxi for Christmas in Nottingham
Christmas can make travelling with a dog more difficult than usual.
You may be visiting family, travelling to another part of Nottinghamshire, going Christmas shopping, taking your dog to a family gathering or travelling to the airport.
At the same time, you may have:
- Christmas presents
- Suitcases
- Shopping bags
- Children
- Other family members
- Your dog's food and belongings
Trying to manage everything on public transport can be difficult.
A pre-booked dog taxi gives you a direct journey with your pet rather than having to manage your dog and belongings through several parts of a trip.
Travelling to family at Christmas
If your dog is part of the family, you may not want to leave them at home while everyone else visits relatives.
A private pet-friendly journey can allow you and your dog to travel together.
If you are visiting family outside Nottingham, give us the complete pickup and destination details when booking.
Christmas airport travel with your dog
If you are travelling over the Christmas period, arrange your airport journey early.
You may already have luggage and presents to carry, and adding a pet can make the journey more difficult.
Intel Cars can arrange a private journey to the airport with your pet.
Tell us:
- Your flight time
- Pickup address
- Number of passengers
- Dog's size
- Luggage details
- Any carrier or crate requirements
You should also check your airline's current rules before travelling, as allowing a pet in the vehicle does not mean the pet is automatically allowed on the flight.
Christmas and early-morning journeys
If you have an early airport flight around the Christmas period, do not leave your transport until the last minute.
Pre-booking gives you time to discuss your dog, luggage and pickup requirements before the journey.
If your travel plans fall on or around Christmas Day or another holiday date, confirm availability and the fare with Intel Cars when booking.
Travelling with a large dog
A large dog can need considerably more space than a small dog or a pet travelling in a carrier.
Tell us your dog's approximate size before booking.
Also tell us if you are carrying:
- Large luggage
- A crate
- A dog bed
- More than one pet
- Other passengers
This allows the journey to be assessed properly before the vehicle arrives.
A pet-friendly service still needs to be a safe service for everyone inside the vehicle.
What if my dog is nervous?
Some dogs are comfortable in cars. Others are not.
Your dog may become nervous because of:
- An unfamiliar vehicle
- A new driver
- Noise
- A previous bad experience
- A visit to the vet
- A long journey
Let us know if your dog is anxious when you book.
You can also bring something familiar, such as a blanket or travel mat.
For some dogs, a direct journey is easier than travelling through several stops or changing vehicles.
Can I travel with my dog and luggage?
Yes, but luggage needs to be considered when arranging the vehicle.
For example:
2 passengers + 1 large dog + 4 large suitcases
requires more space than:
1 passenger + 1 small dog + 1 small bag.
Give us the full details when booking.
If you have unusually large luggage, a crate or other equipment, mention it before the journey.
Can more than one pet travel?
It may be possible, depending on the animals, their size, the vehicle and the journey.
Tell us:
- Number of pets
- Type of animals
- Approximate size
- Whether they use carriers or crates
- Number of passengers
- Amount of luggage
We can then discuss whether the journey is suitable.
Travelling with a dog and family
A dog taxi does not have to be only for one person and one dog.
You may be travelling with your partner, children, parents or other family members.
The important thing is to provide the complete passenger, pet and luggage details when booking.
That way, the journey can be planned around everyone travelling.
Dog-friendly airport transfers
Airport travel needs more planning than a normal local journey.
You may have:
- Your dog
- Suitcase or suitcases
- Hand luggage
- A carrier or crate
- Children
- Other family members
A direct private transfer means you do not have to carry everything between different forms of transport.
If you are travelling to East Midlands Airport, provide your flight details when booking.
For airport pickups, Intel Cars offers flight monitoring, so your arrival information can be taken into account when planning the collection.
Always check your airline's pet requirements separately before travelling.
Pet-friendly long-distance journeys
Your journey does not have to finish within Nottingham.
You may need to take your dog to:
- Another town or city
- A family member
- A veterinary specialist
- A boarding facility
- An airport
- A holiday destination
- A new home
A private vehicle can be useful for longer journeys because you and your pet stay together.
If you need a stop during a long journey, mention this when booking.
7-seat minibus for group journeys with a pet
Intel Cars also has a 7-seat minibus for suitable group journeys.
If you are travelling with several people and a pet, tell us the full details before booking.
For example:
5 passengers + 1 dog + luggage
may require a different arrangement from:
2 passengers + 1 small dog.
The number and size of passengers, pets and bags all matter.
Do not assume that simply counting seats tells you whether a vehicle is suitable.
What should I bring for my dog's journey?
For a normal dog journey, you may want to bring:
- Lead and collar
- Water
- Familiar blanket or mat
- Treats
- Waste bags
- Any medication your dog needs
- Carrier or travel equipment if required
For a longer journey, bring anything your dog normally needs.
If your dog uses a particular crate or travel setup, tell us when booking.
What about assistance dogs?
Assistance dogs are different from ordinary pet travel.
UK law provides specific protections for passengers travelling with assistance dogs, including duties relating to carrying assistance dogs in taxis and private-hire vehicles.
If you are travelling with an assistance dog, tell us when booking so the journey can be arranged correctly.
This page's £40 minimum fare applies to ordinary pet journeys; assistance-dog rules are a separate matter under the law.

Why book your dog's journey in advance?
Finding a pet-friendly vehicle at the last minute can be difficult.
When you pre-book, you have time to explain:
- Your pet
- Pickup address
- Destination
- Number of passengers
- Luggage
- Your dog's size
- Carrier or crate requirements
- Any safety concerns
This is particularly useful for:
- Vet appointments
- Airport journeys
- Christmas travel
- Long-distance trips
- Early morning journeys
- Family visits
The more we know before the journey, the easier it is to decide whether the vehicle and trip are suitable.
