Travelling with pets answers
Q. What is the Pet Travel Scheme and which ferry companies allow pets?
A. The Pet Travel Scheme was introduced by the Government in 2000 to allow pet dogs, cats and ferrets to travel between the UK and certain countries (mainly EU countries), without quarantine.
Not all ferry operators have the facility to take pets, therefore please contact us on 0844 3718021 or mail@aferry.com before booking so we can add them to your booking. Ferry operators usually charge a small fee for each pet that they carry.
If bringing a pet into the UK, the pet will have to be part of the Pets Passport Scheme. Depending on the ferry operator and route, your pet may have to remain in the car for the duration of the crossing, with no passenger access. For more information on the Pet Travel Scheme and Pet Passports see our article on travelling with pets or visit the official Defra website.
Q. Which ferry companies can I book pets with online with AFerry.co.uk?
A. At AFerry.co.uk.we are constantly adding new features and products. One new feature is the ability to book pets directly online. With the following companies you can book pets directly online. Note that many other ferry companies do offer pet booking but for these you will have to call 0844 3718021 or email mail@aferry.com so that we can check if it will be possible for a pet to travel and if there is availability on your requested dates.
