Uber will now transport you with a ferret or iguana

The Uber transport company decided to take not only people but also their pets in and around Prague. More precisely, she prepared the new Uber Pet service, with which passengers can confidently order a ride with a dog, cat or other animal companion (even the ferret with an iguana could easily be), and at the same time let the driver know that the animal will ride in the car. The novelty will ensure that after ordering, a vehicle that is adapted to transport fauna will arrive. And that the driver counts on such transport.

All drivers using the Uber application in Prague can decide for themselves whether they will also offer Uber Pet rides. The price of the service for customers corresponds to the cheapest UberX tariff increased by a one-off area fee 50 crowns. Booking a ride with a pet is easy. Just launch the Uber app, select the destination, pick-up address and choose the Uber Pet service for transport. The platform then connects the passenger with the nearest driver, who allows the transport of pets.

“Czechs are a nation of dog breeders and we have often heard from our users that they would greatly appreciate the possibility of comfortable transport of their animal companions. We decided to meet their needs and prepare a tailor-made service for them, which will allow them carefree trips with a dog, cat or other pet. In addition, the drivers themselves appreciate the noveltywho can better prepare and count on transporting pets, “describes Štěpán Šindelář, Uber’s operations manager for the Czech Republic.

So what kind of animals can get in a car with a passenger? Uber does not have an exact list, but of course he laid down a few rules. The pet must not disturb the driver or otherwise endanger or make driving uncomfortable, for which a muzzle, leash or transport box should ideally be used. For hairy companions, a blanket is suitable for wrapping. Uber Pet is, of course, designed primarily to owners of cats and dogs and any other animals the driver may refuse to transport, but if you have a goat or a duck with a chicken at home, be sure to give it a try. And let me know how you ended up.

How often do you go somewhere with a pet?
