Pet Friendly Car Rental Agencies

A trip with your pet may involve using a rental vehicle. Many rental companies have pet-friendly policies and, if you read the fine print, you’ll be able to avoid any unexpected charges. We have compiled the information you’ll need to select the rental agency that will work best for you. When you check in, be sure to let the agent know that you’re traveling with your pet, and remember – even if the car rental agency does not require it – it’s important for your pet’s safety to restrain them when traveling in a vehicle.
