Pet taxi
Pet taxi between central Paris and Folkestone
Private, door-to-door travel from Paris to the Kent coast with your pet beside you.
About this journey
The drive from central Paris to the Channel Tunnel at Calais usually takes around three hours. After that comes the 35-minute Eurotunnel LeShuttle crossing to Folkestone, with your pet in the car beside you.
Eurostar does not accept pets other than assistance dogs, so a private car is one of the simplest ways to travel from Paris to the UK with a dog or cat. This route is for owners whose final address is in or near Folkestone, or who plan to continue from Kent themselves.
