Can my pet travel in the car?
Whether your pet can travel in the rental car usually depends on the specific policy of the local rental supplier. While many suppliers happily welcome pets as long as they're in a carrier, a few might ask that they stay home to help keep their vehicles completely allergy-free for future drivers.
Step-by-Step Guide:
Before or after booking, just take a quick peek for keywords like "Pet," "Dog," or "Animal" right in the "Rental Conditions" section of your offer or voucher.
Since policies can vary a bit from place to place, it's always a wonderful idea to call the rental supplier directly using the phone number on your voucher to confirm their specific guidelines.
If pets are welcome, keeping them safely secured in a comfortable carrier, crate, or cage is the best way to ensure a smooth ride and protect the car's interior!
We also highly recommend bringing along a few cozy blankets or seat covers to help prevent any stray pet hair, little scratches, or lingering odors.
Giving the car a quick vacuum before drop-off is a great way to make sure no traces of hair or odor are left behind for the next driver.
"If pets are 'allowed,' I won't be charged extra as long as there is no damage."
Even when pets are warmly welcomed, the local desk simply asks that you return the car in a clean state. Leaving behind pet hair or odors can sometimes result in a "Special Cleaning Fee" (often around €50–€150) so the team can properly deep-clean the vehicle for future renters with allergies.
💡 Did You Know?
Service animals (like guide dogs) are generally allowed by law, even with suppliers that normally have a "No Pet" policy! However, it’s still a great idea to let the supplier know in advance to ensure a completely seamless pick-up experience.
What To Do Next:
If you've already booked your trip, simply give the supplier a quick call using the number on your voucher to verify their pet policy.
If you haven't booked just yet, you can easily check the "Rental Conditions" link on the car offer, or reach out to our support team so we can help you find a provider that perfectly accommodates your needs!
