How pricing works
Every trip is priced individually based on the route distance and the customer type. There is no published rate card because no two routes are the same — a quote gives you an accurate figure for your specific trip.
Distance-based rates
Pricing is calculated on the distance from pickup to delivery. Longer routes cost more; shorter regional routes less. The quote you receive reflects the actual mileage of your trip, factored into the appropriate rate for your customer category.
The quote includes everything described on the Services page: private vehicle, climate control, daily stops, hotel stays, medication administration if needed, and daily location updates. There are no hidden add-on charges for standard inclusions.
Breeders
Breeder pricing is designed for professional kennels placing puppies and dogs with buyers across the country. If you transport dogs regularly, mention that in your inquiry.
- All VIP solo-passenger inclusions
- Daily updates for buyer peace of mind
- Flexible scheduling to match your placement timeline
Rescue and foster organizations
Nonprofit rescue organizations and foster networks have their own rate category. If you are coordinating a placement transport, include your organization name in the inquiry.
- All VIP solo-passenger inclusions
- Gentle handling for anxious or recovering dogs
- Medication administration where needed
Families and individual owners
Family dog owners arranging a one-time transport — for a relocation, a move, or a long-distance delivery — are quoted at the individual owner rate.
- All VIP solo-passenger inclusions
- Door-to-door delivery
- Daily location updates throughout the journey
Common questions about pricing
Why don't you publish a price list?
Transport pricing is almost entirely a function of route distance. A flat rate or a price range would either be too high for short regional trips or too low for cross-country hauls. A quote gives you the accurate figure for your actual trip — not a best guess from a price table.
How do I get a quote?
Use the contact form on this site. Tell us your pickup location, destination, preferred travel window, and a little about your dog. You will receive a personalized quote — no obligation required.
Is there a minimum or maximum trip distance?
There is no minimum distance requirement. Precious-Passengers handles trips across all 48 contiguous states, from short regional hauls to full coast-to-coast routes.
What is included in the quoted price?
Every quote covers: private sole-passenger transport, climate-controlled vehicle, daily stops, hotel stays with the transporter, daily location updates to you, and medication administration if needed. No standard service is billed as an add-on.
Do prices differ for puppies versus adult dogs?
Pricing is based on the route, not the dog's age or size. The rate you are quoted covers your dog regardless of whether they are a puppy, a senior, a small breed, or a large breed.
Can I arrange transport for multiple dogs from the same household?
Yes. Multiple dogs traveling together from the same household are accommodated in the same private vehicle. This is still a sole-household trip — no other dogs will share the vehicle.
