Do you need to get somewhere in Perpignan, or perhaps reach your holiday destination on the Catalan coast, but you're traveling with your dog? The question isn't whether they'll be allowed in the taxi, but rather under what conditions. Taxi Direct Perpignan welcomes pets with open arms; however, please let us know in advance so we can provide you with a suitable vehicle for your furry friend.
Don't catch your taxi driver off guard.
It should be noted that taxi drivers have the right to refuse to transport animals, with the exception of guide dogs for the visually impaired. For all other animals, each driver is free to accept or refuse their presence in their vehicle.
Indeed, it's possible, for example, that a driver might be allergic to cat hair and need to transport a cat. What should be done? That's why it's essential to inform the taxi dispatch center beforehand. Imposing this obligation on a driver isn't very ethical and could even be dangerous for their driving, in some cases.
Furthermore, depending on the size of your pet and the constraints related to its transport, you may be asked to pay an additional fee for the transport of your pet.

So what should you do when booking your taxi?
- Inform him of the presence of your pet and what type of pet it is.
- For small animals, a transport cage is preferable.
- Consider bringing a muzzle if your pet doesn't like traveling and is likely to be agitated.
- Avoid feeding your pet in the hours before the taxi ride. If he is prone to motion sickness, this can prevent some unpleasant surprises.
