Pet-friendly car rides for everyone.

Uber disrupted the Australian taxi industry in 2012, offering a safe and affordable rideshare option for everyone. Since then, Uber has continued to update its services, now offering a car pool option for the budget conscious, a luxe premium option and even a quiet ride option. And now there’s a dedicated option for pets.

Whether you have a teen tiny chihuahua or a massive mastiff, you and your four-legged friend can now find a ride with Uber Pet.

The service costs just an extra $7 and it means you and your pet can grab a lift without a worry in the world.

However, Uber has issued a few suggestions for maintaining your 5-star rating when travelling with a pet.

  • Bring a towel for your pet to sit on and protect the seats
  • Insurance covers human Uber riders only
  • Uber Pet is limited to one pet per trip, more may only be carried at the discretion of your driver
  • Uber pet is primarily for dogs and cats, but your pet must be well-behaved and easily controlled by you
  • Uber recommends that dogs and cats are on a leash or harness while in the car, and other types of pets travel within a cage or carrier.

Now no one gets left behind!
