Pets are allowed in some taxis. Call the cab company ahead to double-check their policy and size restrictions. You may want to take a pet carrier.
Safety Precautions and Equipment
Keep pets in cages or muzzled in taxis. Pet taxis have logos to identify them. They are equipped with blankets, harnesses, and treats for dog passengers. Carry pets on a leash or in carriers for safety. Carriers minimize shedding.
Pet-Friendly Cab Services
Black cabs are often pet-friendly depending on the driver. Apps like Addison Lee have pet-friendly car options.
Legal Considerations for Guide Dogs
It is illegal for taxi drivers to refuse guide dogs or charge extra. Drivers can be fined up to £1,000 and have their license revoked. Guide dogs assist 360,000 registered blind or partially sighted people, allowing independence.
