Pet Friendly Car Hire
With an estimated pet population of 71 million with approximately 45% of households totalling 13 million owning pets. The top pets are Fish, Dogs, Cats, Rabbits and Birds but let’s cut to the chase, the animals that you are likely to want to be bringing in cars are either dogs or cats, usually! Pets need to be fed and looked after on a regular basis especially dogs and cats as they crave attention, this is where the issue around holidays comes along, do you or don’t you take your pet on holiday?
I have a dog and I know when I went on holiday I pretty much left him at home and had a relative come and walk and feed him on a regular basis but when I got back he started to bark at me almost as if to vent his anger, and thinking about it I should of brought him on holiday with me as I had a staycation within the UK. The only issue or so I thought with this was car rental didn’t allow you to have a pet in the car which is understandable due to hairs, dirt and everything else they trail in.
Are Dogs Allowed In Rental Cars?
Pets, including dogs are allowed in rental vehicles if you use selected companies. Some companies have different restrictions and may require you to keep your pet in a crate, however there are some that may be fine with having a dog in the vehicle as it is. In order to ensure that you don’t get any fine in regards to cleaning you should always clean the car before returning it if you have had a pet in the vehicle. Before making your booking you should always double check this with the supplier, this is something we would be happy to do for you.

Is There Anything Else To Consider For Pet Friendly Car Hire?
As touched upon previously, you won’t be charged for having a pet in your car rental by several suppliers, however you may be charged if the car is returned in anything other than a very clean condition. As this is the case, if you have had a pet, like a dog or a cat in the car then it’s likely that it will shed and if you return it without cleaning it you could be subject to a fine.
