Calais to Folkestone is our shortest international pet transport at just 50 km total. Pickup from anywhere in central Calais, Coquelles, Sangatte, or the surrounding Pas-de-Calais coast (Wissant, Wimereux, Boulogne-sur-Mer), straight to the Eurotunnel Le Shuttle terminal at Coquelles, across the Channel in 35 minutes, and door-to-door delivery anywhere in Folkestone, Hythe, Sandgate, Dover, or the wider East Kent area. Total: 2-3 hours at a flat £195 fare.
This corridor is popular for three customer types. First: owners who have driven from elsewhere in France or Europe and need a final cross-Channel leg with a professional driver who handles the Pet Reception paperwork. Second: pets arriving in Calais via onward road transport from Spain, Italy, or elsewhere in Europe. Third: emergency or same-day transfers where a Kent-based owner needs urgent help with a Calais-based pet.
The critical compliance work on the £195 fare is the same as longer routes: we handle the UK tapeworm treatment timing if needed (dogs only - pre-arranged with a partner vet in Calais 24-120 hours before crossing), Pet Reception paperwork at Coquelles, and Folkestone Pet Reception check-in. For cats and ferrets, no tapeworm requirement so the journey is even simpler.
Why not the Calais-Dover ferry? Two reasons: (1) ferries require pets to stay in onboard kennels for 90 minutes separated from the owner, weather can delay or cancel sailings, and seasickness affects some pets. (2) The Eurotunnel is just 10 minutes from Dover anyway - so for any pet route ending in Kent, the Eurotunnel is faster, calmer, and the price difference is negligible. We use Eurotunnel exclusively for this reason.

Calais to Folkestone pet taxi: common questions
Can you do a same-day Calais to Folkestone pet transfer?
Yes - depending on availability and the tapeworm treatment timing requirement (dogs only), same-day Calais to Folkestone is often possible. Contact us via WhatsApp on +44 7892 807912 for urgent enquiries.
Why is the £195 fare so much cheaper than London-based routes?
The corridor is just 50 km total versus 400-500 km for London routes. The Eurotunnel ticket and Pet Reception fees are the same, but vehicle time and fuel are minimal.
Do you accept pets that have arrived in Calais by ferry?
Yes - we collect from any Calais address including the ferry port. If the pet has just disembarked the ferry from elsewhere in Europe, we can collect direct from the port pet area.
What if I only need the crossing, not the door-to-door?
Yes - if you want to meet us at Calais Pet Reception, do the crossing together, and part ways at Folkestone, we offer a "crossing only" rate from £150.
