Can you take your cat in a taxi in your country?

I went to the vet with two kittens. Some cab drivers allowed cats in their car, but others were very upset. The kittens were in a cat carrier. But some drivers can't stand animals at all. Others didn't have a problem with them. Can you take your cat in a taxi in your country? I didn't know that cats in cat carriers are not allowed in a taxi.

I have never tried taking a cat in a taxi. If I did, I would, of course, have it in a proper travelling basket. I would probably tell the taxi firm that I wanted to take the cat to the vet and, if they had any regulations about carrying animals, they would then know.
Individual drivers might be allergic to cats or the firm might be aware that other customers might have animal allergies and may have a policy not to carry animals. There is certainly no law against it. It would be entirely up to the company whether they allowed it or not.

I don´t know if there is a law. But it would stand to reason that it would depend on the driver.

@dya80dya I know that there are many hotels where you cannot take your pets.

@marguicha Yes, we can't take pets there. And even in shops we can't take them.

You can now but it might be an extra fee.

@dya80dya I guess here they are always worried about everything and law suit and such nonsense.

@TiarasOceanView I understand. And is the extra fee high?

Yes, it is possible to take a cat in a taxi here, but you have to mention it when you call. Some drivers don't accept pets in their taxis, but if the company knows it in advance they are usually able to find a driver who accept pets.

I actually am not aware if you can or not. However, i think it might be dependent on the indiviudal driver here.

@dya80dya Some people are allergic to pets. It might be that these cabbies were allergic to your cat.
