Why do pet taxi businesses need insurance?
Transporting pets isn’t just about moving them from one place to another. It’s about keeping them safe, comfortable, and cared for. If you’re transporting pets as part of your business, to and from the vets for example, having the right insurance is a must. Pet transport insurance makes sure you, your vehicle, and the pets you care for are covered if something unexpected happens along the way.
It’s also something pet owners look for – they want to know their precious pet is in good hands. Having insurance shows you’re professional, trustworthy, and genuinely care about their pet.
