Why Does Dog-Only Transportation Cost More Than a Regular Rideshare?

If a rideshare across town costs $12, why does a dog-only ride start at a $25 minimum? It is a fair question. Here is exactly what that difference pays for.

A Vehicle Built for Dogs

A rideshare car is just a regular car. Our vehicles are purpose-built:

• ●Seats removed and replaced with thick comfort padding
• ●Low, easy entry points for older and large dogs
• ●Airline-grade kennels for separation
• ●A dedicated rear climate-control system

That build-out costs money to create and maintain — and it is the reason your dog rides safely instead of sliding around a back seat.

One Dog, One Ride

Rideshare economics depend on packing in as many fares as possible. We do the opposite: your dog rides solo or kennel-separated. That means we are not splitting the trip's cost across multiple passengers, so the true cost of the ride falls on a single booking.

Trained Handlers, Not Just Drivers

Anyone can pass a rideshare background check and start driving people. Our drivers are trained specifically in canine handling and safe, smooth driving. That specialized skill is part of what you are paying for.

Cleaning and Turnaround

Every ride ends with sanitizing kennels and interiors so the next pup steps into a fresh space. That time and effort is built into every fare.

Still Modeled on Local Rates

Here is the reassuring part: our pricing is modeled directly on local rideshare rates — a $4 base fare plus $1.40 per mile and $0.25 per minute. You are not paying a luxury premium. You are paying a fair rate for a service that a regular rideshare simply cannot provide.
