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

Pet transport from London to Belfast 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 GB-to-Belfast trip needs a ferry, regardless of the two countries sharing a passport union. We collect from anywhere across Greater London, drive north on the M1 and M6 toward the crossing point (Cairnryan in south-west Scotland or Liverpool, whichever gives the shorter total driving distance for your specific pickup and drop-off), and board a Stena Line RoRo ferry with your pet still in the vehicle. The Cairnryan-Belfast 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.

London to Belfast pet taxi: common questions
Why does a London to Belfast pet transport need a ferry if Belfast is in the 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 Cairnryan-Belfast or Liverpool-Belfast Stena Line route depending on which is shorter for your specific addresses.
Does my pet need any special documents to travel from London to Belfast?
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 London to Belfast 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 to 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 London and delivery to your Belfast address, with no per-mile surcharges added afterwards. The ferry ticket is not included and is paid separately.
