Door-to-door pet transport from Belfast to London. Distance: 349 km. The route uses an Irish Sea ferry between Great Britain and the UK.

Pet transport from Belfast to London starts from £516 for a single pet, door-to-door, with delivery included. The ferry ticket is not included and is paid separately. Total journey time is around 7 hours of driving plus the crossing itself.
Northern Ireland is part of the UK, but it sits on the island of Ireland, separated from Great Britain by the Irish Sea - there's no tunnel or bridge, so every Belfast-to-GB trip needs a ferry, regardless of the two countries sharing a passport union. We collect from anywhere across Belfast and the wider Northern Ireland area, board a Stena Line RoRo ferry to Cairnryan in south-west Scotland or to Liverpool (whichever gives the shorter total driving distance for your specific pickup and drop-off) with your pet still in the vehicle, then drive south on the M6 and M1 into London. The Belfast-Cairnryan crossing takes around 2 hours 15 minutes; unlike the longer Channel Islands sailings, there's no need for an overnight cabin or extended time away from the vehicle.
Because this is a domestic UK-to-UK move, there's no AHC, no rabies titer, and no customs paperwork required - just your pet's normal identification (microchip) and any routine documents your vet already keeps on file. This is one of the simplest routes we run on the documentation side, even though it's one of the longer ones by distance.

Belfast to London pet taxi: common questions
Why does a Belfast to London pet transport need a ferry if it’s all UK?
Northern Ireland is part of the United Kingdom, but it’s on the island of Ireland, physically separated from Great Britain by the Irish Sea. There’s no tunnel or land bridge, so any door-to-door trip has to cross by ferry - we use the Belfast-Cairnryan or Belfast-Liverpool Stena Line route depending on which is shorter for your specific addresses.
Does my pet need any special documents to travel from Belfast to London?
No - this is a domestic move within the UK, so there’s no Animal Health Certificate, rabies titer, or customs paperwork required, unlike our routes to mainland Europe. Your pet just needs their normal microchip and any documents your own vet already keeps.
How long does pet transport from Belfast to London take?
Around 7 hours of driving plus the ferry crossing itself (roughly 2 hours 15 minutes on the Cairnryan route), so plan for most of a day door-to-door. We build in comfort breaks on the drive from the port.
Does my pet stay with me during the ferry crossing?
Your pet stays in the vehicle on the car deck for the crossing, with the driver checking in throughout - the same door-to-door principle we use everywhere else, just with a ferry instead of the Eurotunnel for this particular route.
What does the £516 starting price include?
The £516 starting price covers door-to-door collection in Belfast and delivery to your London address, with no per-mile surcharges added afterwards. The ferry ticket is not included and is paid separately.
