Transparent Pricing

Know What to Expect

Our pricing is based on distance. Every quote includes climate-controlled transport, real-time GPS tracking, and a dedicated trip coordinator.

One fee covers up to 4 pets

With 5 or more pets the price is higher, because hotels rarely allow that many in one room: about 1.8× for small pets (cats, small and medium dogs), and an estimated 1.8×–2.5× with a large dog, which also takes a second driver or vehicle.

Straightforward Pricing

Every surcharge is explained. None of them are padding.

When a trip is harder — a brachy breed, a pet with medical needs, a route through dangerous heat — it actually costs more to do it safely, and we tell you exactly what that extra cost pays for. Every add-on, like flat-faced breed care, a medical care plan, a senior pet fee or a short-notice rush fee, is itemized on your quote.

Additional Costs

What Else May Affect Your Price

These are not hidden fees — they reflect the real cost of specialized care. Every surcharge is itemized on your quote.

Medical Care Plan

$150 – $250

For pets that need medication administration, extra vet stops, or specialized monitoring during transport. Peace of mind for pets with medical needs.

  • • Standard ($150): Medication schedule, extra vet stops, monitoring plan
  • • Extended ($250): Everything above, for pets with more involved care on the road — we confirm the details with you before you book

Fuel Is Built In

Part of the transport price

There's no separate fuel charge: fuel is built into the transport price. That price covers gas up to $3.00 a gallon; when gas along your route averages more (AAA state averages, weighted by the miles in each state), the transport price is a little higher to cover the difference.

Shelter, Rescue & Vet Partner Discount

Negotiated case-by-case

If you're a 501(c)(3) rescue, a municipal shelter, or a veterinary practice booking on behalf of a patient, reach out before requesting a quote. Discounts come out of the PAX admin share first — never out of driver pay. When a discount can't be absorbed that way, we compensate the driver in other ways so they're still made whole for the work they do. Email us with your EIN or state license number.
