What affects transport prices
DEFRA authorisation
Commercial transporters over 65km need a DEFRA Type 1 or Type 2 animal transporter authorisation. Authorised operators price accordingly.
Distance and return legs
Most quotes assume a round trip, so an empty return leg is built into the mileage rate.
Paperwork for travel abroad
Animal health certificates, rabies timing and tapeworm treatment add vet costs on top of the transport fee.
