Q: I need a ride back from the vet, but I don’t exactly know when I’ll need it.

A: We do something called a “Will Call”. In such instances that you know you will be needing a ride home but are unsure of what time, this could be a good solution. You can let us know you’ll be needing a return, and we’ll flag your original reservation to indicate that you will be needing a ride back. Then you can just call us when you are ready and we will send you the closest available car. Although there is a possible chance that you may need to wait a little bit longer, it’s usually never more than 15-30 minutes.

Q: Can I ride with my pet?

A: Yes! You can ride with your pet or we can transport your pet by itself.

Q: Will you take my pet outside of the city?

A: Yes! We can take your pet anywhere. Please call our offices or email us to get a price quote.

Q: When should I book my reservation?

A: The later you wait to book your reservation, the harder it is for us to accommodate your request. For example, If you are calling to request a ride during rush hour of the same day, there might be a longer wait than if you had scheduled the ride in advance. For most cases, 1-2 days in advance is fine.

Q: Does my pet have to travel in a crate?

A: If your pet is a dog, then no. Most customers choose to have their dogs lay on the spacious floor of our vehicles. If your pet is a cat, then yes — we require all cats to be transported in carriers. We also have a special seat belt harness to ensure the safety of your pets.

Q: I need help getting my cat in its crate. Will your drivers help me?

A: No. You are responsible for coaxing your cat into its carrier. If you want to avoid wait charges, please do this ahead of your scheduled pickup time, as it can take a while for some cats.

Q: Will my pet ever ride in a vehicle with another animal while I’m not there?

A: Absolutely not. Riding with Pet Chauffeur is like booking a private car for your animal.
