London to Antwerp with a pet: five easy hours
Diamond dogs and travelling cats alike: London to Antwerp takes around five and a quarter hours door to door via the Channel Tunnel. You and your pet share a private, climate-controlled vehicle with a DEFRA-authorised chauffeur - no cargo holds, no strangers, just a calm drive through three countries.
Starting from London's meeting points
We collect from homes and hotels across Greater London, but Euston and St Pancras remain the classic starting points - London's stations are where the UK's journeys converge, and our chauffeurs know every concourse. Arriving by train from elsewhere in Britain? Share your arrival time and we are waiting when you step off.
The drive: M20, tunnel, E40
After the Folkestone pet check-in - 15 minutes, microchip scan and document check - the 35-minute crossing keeps your pet in the car beside you. From Calais, Antwerp is about 2 h 30 min via the E40 and E34, with a comfort stop for dogs to stretch near the Belgian border. We finish at your Antwerp address or at Antwerpen-Centraal.
Documents and the fixed fare
GB to Belgium: microchip, rabies vaccination at least 21 days old, Animal Health Certificate within 10 days (or a valid EU pet passport). No tapeworm treatment this direction. Your fare is mileage-based and fixed before you book - tolls included, Eurotunnel ticket paid separately. Detours via Ghent or Bruges for pickups are easy to add.
