Pet friendly taxi

Your dog or cat travels inside the car with you — not in the boot, not in a separate van.

No surchargefor petsAny sizecarrier or crate24 hvet runs included

Getting a taxi in Barcelona with an animal is unpredictable. Officially a driver may refuse any pet that is not a guide dog, and on a rainy evening with a wet labrador that refusal comes often. Booking ahead removes the question entirely: we know an animal is travelling before the car is assigned, and the driver who comes is one who is happy to carry it.

Small pets travel in a carrier on the seat or in the footwell. Medium and large dogs travel in the back on a blanket we bring, or in the V-Class where there is proper floor space behind the seats. Cats stay in the carrier throughout — every vet will tell you the same, and a cat loose in a moving car is genuinely dangerous.

The three journeys we do most are the airport, the vet, and the coast in summer. Airport runs need the most planning: tell us the airline and whether the animal flies in the cabin or as hold baggage, because the drop-off point at T1 differs and the animal reception desk is not where passengers check in. For emergency vet trips at three in the morning, just call — we will not ask you to fill anything in.

Questions

Do you charge extra for a pet?

No. The fare is the same as for any passenger. We ask about the animal’s size only so we send a car with enough space.

Can my dog sit on the seat?

Yes, on the blanket we bring. Large dogs are usually more comfortable in the footwell or in the back of the V-Class.

Do you take cats and small animals?

Yes, in a closed carrier. It stays closed for the whole journey — that is the safest arrangement for the animal and the driver.

Can you take us to the airport with a pet flying in the hold?

Yes, and tell us the airline when you book. The animal reception point at T1 is separate from passenger check-in and we drop you at the right one.

What about an emergency vet visit at night?

Call rather than message. We run these regularly and will not delay you with a form.

Is there a limit on how many animals?

Two medium animals fit a saloon comfortably. More than that, or one very large breed, means the V-Class.
