About the London ↔ Charles de Gaulle Airport Route

This is one of our most-booked routes. London and Charles de Gaulle Airport are linked by the Eurotunnel LeShuttle service running under the English Channel between Folkestone (Kent) and Coquelles near Calais. The LeShuttle Pet service operates all year round with multiple daily crossings — most take just 35 minutes rail-to-rail. The route avoids the sea entirely which many pet owners prefer for anxious or motion-sensitive animals.

We pick up anywhere in and around London, drive to the Eurotunnel terminal, load the vehicle onto the shuttle, and emerge on the other side with your pet still in the climate-controlled cabin. From there it is a direct drive to the Charles de Gaulle Airport address of your choice.

We plan rest stops every 2 hours for pet welfare. For longer routes we may include a planned overnight stop at a pet-friendly accommodation. Our team confirms the exact schedule when you book.

Is this a pet taxi or a cargo service?
This is a personal pet taxi/chauffeur service — not air cargo. A certified pet handler drives your pet door-to-door in a climate-controlled Mercedes or Volkswagen Passat. No cages, no kennels. Your pet travels in the vehicle, in a familiar harness or carrier of your choice. Passengers (people travelling with the pet) are welcome at no extra charge, subject to vehicle seat count.

Do you cover all of France?
Yes — once we clear the Eurotunnel into continental Europe we can drive to any address in France. Common pickups and drop-offs include major cities, airports, port towns, and residential addresses. We charge by the exact driving distance, nothing is estimated.

What paperwork does my pet need?
EU Pet Passport required; rabies vaccine at least 21 days before travel. Dogs must be microchipped (ISO 11784). No quarantine for EU travel from UK using AHC (Animal Health Certificate).

Can I get a cheaper pet taxi quote?
We are already one of the most competitively priced professional pet transport services for the UK–Europe corridor. Because we price by exact driving distance (not inflated 'from' prices), our quotes are usually lower than brokered alternatives. If you have a budget constraint, consider sharing a vehicle with another family on the same date (ask us about shared departures) or picking a mid-week slot — rates are the same but availability is better.
