Tips for driving with your pet in a SIXT rental
- When driving with pets, you must make sure they are strapped into a safe position in the boot or in a transportation box if they are small. Leaving your pets loose can cause serious safety issues and a fine.
- Animals leaving Britain will need a microchip, pet passport and proof of anti-parasite treatment. Please bear these issues in mind if you are planning on going abroad with your furry friend.
- Always stop off after a couple of hours of driving for a nice stretch and walk for both you and your pet. Keeping water and snacks handy is also advisable but make sure the pet doesn't over-eat.
- Never leave your pet in a parked car. Cars can heat up incredibly fast during the day and can cause your dog to have heatstroke. Cold temperatures in winter can be just as life threatening.
- Please make sure to thoroughly clean your hire car and rid it of lingering pet hair. Ensure your SIXT hire car is vacuumed and fresh for the next driver or cleaning charges may occur.
