FRANCE · NEIGHBOURING COUNTRIES · PRIVATE JOURNEYS
The miles go by.
Your companion stays by your side.
Like Ulysses, create your own Odyssey.
Odyscab offers a long-distance pet taxi for journeys with your dog, cat or small pet across France and to neighbouring countries. Your pet can travel with you, or unaccompanied once arrangements are confirmed, in a suitable vehicle with breaks planned around their needs. As a guide, Paris to Lille costs €360 including VAT for a pet travelling alone, or €450 in Comfort. Your route and vehicle requirements determine the final quote.
TAKING THE TIME TO TRAVEL WELL
A holiday together, a house move, an adoption or an appointment with a specialist vet far from home: every departure has its own story. Odyscab arranges long-distance pet transport in a suitable vehicle, including onward journeys after a flight. Your companion may not have chosen the destination, but they deserve a comfortable journey too.
Travelling hundreds of kilometres with a pet takes more than a pick-up address and a destination. Their space on board, familiar routines, luggage and stops all need thought. Our long-distance pet taxi service helps you arrange these details before departure, with someone who understands your request.
Your journey is private, with no shared transport: the vehicle is reserved for you and does not pick up other customers along the way. We plan the route around your destination and agreed breaks. The only fellow passenger likely to snore might be your dog.
From Paris and Île-de-France to another French city or a neighbouring country, we can assess your route. For a departure from another region, send us your addresses: pick-up is considered on request. A direct journey, intermediate stops or a fixed arrival time can all be discussed when preparing your quote.
For everyday journeys, explore our pet taxi services. Discover our wider range of private car and chauffeur services on the Odyscab home page.
A JOURNEY AT YOUR PACE
Comfortable long-distance dog transport starts with a suitable set-up and thoughtful planning. We discuss breaks, water and any intermediate stops according to the journey length and your pet’s usual routine.
Your private driver helps you plan these arrangements. Bring your pet’s lead, harness, bowl and a familiar item. For an older animal or one sensitive to travel, ask your vet for advice before departure.
Pack for my companionEVERY COMPANION TRAVELS DIFFERENTLY
The same care in planning, with arrangements suited to each companion.
Whether your dog is small or large, tell us their breed, weight and behaviour in the car. Depending on their needs, travel can be arranged with a suitable crate or a harness and appropriate restraint. The crate dimensions must also allow room for your other luggage.
For several dogs, let us know whether they can travel together or need separate spaces. Breaks are taken on a lead in a suitable location.
A calm journey begins with a closed, stable carrier that suits your cat. Familiar bedding and an absorbent liner can help them settle in. Tell us about their habits and any known difficulties during travel.
Looking for a long-distance cat taxi for a move or a holiday? Plan the carrier, useful belongings and handling instructions with us. For a rabbit or another small pet, please also describe their particular needs.
TWO WAYS TO TRAVEL
We select a vehicle with room for your companion, passengers, carriers and luggage. This private long-distance pet transfer is suitable for holidays, house moves and onward journeys after a flight.
Unaccompanied pet transport is considered individually. We agree on the departure and arrival contacts, the travel set-up and handover instructions. Whether we can provide the journey is confirmed before booking.
NEW ROUTES, NEW HORIZONS
A long-distance pet taxi to reach your family, holiday destination or new home. These are examples of destinations; other routes can be considered on request.
Head to northern France or Alsace with your pets and belongings, with the necessary stops planned along the way.
A house move, a family home or an extended stay: we select a vehicle to suit the space you need.
Travel to Lyon, Marseille or Nice, or to Toulouse in southwestern France. For these longer routes, we plan timings and stops with you. Destinations without a listed fare are quoted individually.
Regional journeys for you and your companion. City-to-city fares do not replace a quote for an airport pick-up.

A LITTLE FURTHER AFIELD…
Belgium, Switzerland or the United Kingdom: cross-border journeys are quoted according to the route and date. We discuss the stages of your journey and, for the UK, the proposed crossing arrangements. Your pet’s travel requirements must be checked before departure.
AFTER THE FLIGHT, THE JOURNEY CONTINUES
Arriving at Paris Charles de Gaulle or Orly with your dog, cat and travel crate? Plan the onward journey to your destination in France with our long-distance animal transport service.
Send us the flight number, terminal, number of travellers and the dimensions of each crate. Tell us whether the crate must remain assembled. Collection from a cargo area must be mentioned so we can plan the appropriate pick-up.
THE RIGHT VEHICLE FOR YOUR JOURNEY
For travelling with your pet and luggage, depending on their size and the required set-up. We assess the Comfort category against the total space needed on board.
For more passengers, several animals or bulky crates. A Mercedes V-Class van may be offered subject to availability and confirmation of the space required.
An XXL crate and several large suitcases take up space: please provide exact dimensions. Your vehicle is confirmed with your quote.
