In this case, please understand that we do use cages or carriers to ensure their safety. - We have a range of different ways (cage, carrier, in the back with a pet sheet) our guest can ride in our taxi. We decide the method to match each guest.
- In order to reduce stress on our guests during longer rides, we will take them on small walks at places like service areas on the way.
The back doors are slide open doors
perfect for getting in and out and luggage loading and unloading!
All seats behind the driver’s seat can all be folded away so even big dogs can ride in style.
Rest assured that even from the driver’s seat the cage is in plainsight for keeping an eye on how our little guest is doing.
We have two large cages on board, so even those with large fur-families can ride together.
