Ashford to Calais is one of our shortest international corridors - 90 km total, 3-4 hours door-to-door, flat £210 fare. We collect from anywhere in Ashford and surrounding Kent villages (Tenterden, Wye, Hothfield, Smeeth, Charing, Headcorn), drive 20 minutes on the M20 to the Eurotunnel Le Shuttle terminal at Cheriton, cross the Channel in 35 minutes, then deliver door-to-door anywhere in central Calais, Coquelles, Sangatte, Marck, or the wider Pas-de-Calais coast.
This corridor is popular for Kent-based owners who are relocating to France (or have a holiday home, family, or onward delivery in the Calais region) and want a professional driver to handle the Eurotunnel paperwork. The 35-minute crossing is the gentlest option for pets - they stay in the climate-controlled vehicle throughout. Owners can travel in the car at no extra cost.
The flat £210 fare is one of the lowest international pet transport rates in the UK because of the genuinely short distance. Included: M20 transit time and fuel, the Folkestone Pet Reception check, French motorway tolls, and door-to-door delivery anywhere in central Calais or surrounding coast. Not included: the Eurotunnel Le Shuttle ticket (the pet supplement plus the vehicle fare), which you pay separately - or we can book it for you at no extra cost.
Documentation we coordinate: UK Animal Health Certificate timing with your Ashford or wider Kent vet (AHC must be issued within 10 days of departure). For cats and ferrets, the AHC is the only requirement. For dogs travelling further into France or onward to other EU countries, the same AHC remains valid for six months of EU movement.

Ashford to Calais pet taxi: common questions
Why is Ashford to Calais so cheap?
Geographic advantage: Ashford is just 20 minutes from the Eurotunnel terminal at Folkestone. The vehicle time and fuel are minimal compared to London-based routes (which add 400+ km of M25/M20 transit).
Can I include onward delivery into France beyond Calais?
Yes - extensions to Boulogne-sur-Mer, Lille, Reims, Paris, or further afield can be added with a small distance supplement. Tell us the final destination at booking.
Do you cover collection from Ashford suburbs and villages?
Yes - all of Ashford, Tenterden, Wye, Smeeth, Charing, Hothfield, Headcorn, and the surrounding Ashford Borough are included at the £210 fare. Further afield Kent (Maidstone, Canterbury, Tunbridge Wells) may add a small supplement.
