BluSmart, a leading electric ride-hailing service, has launched a new pet travel option called Pet Rides in Delhi and Gurugram. This service allows pet owners to comfortably travel with their dogs and cats, ensuring a safe and convenient experience for both pets and their humans.
The move comes after Uber introduced its pet-friendly rides in 2024. While Ola does not have a fixed pet policy, it typically allows drivers to decide whether to accept pets. With BluSmart’s dedicated pet travel service, pet owners now have a reliable option for commuting with their furry companions.
Features of BluSmart Pet Rides
BluSmart’s Pet Rides service is available for both regular trips and longer rentals. The vehicles are specifically designed to ensure a comfortable and safe journey for pets. Some of the key features include:
- Foldable dog-seat hammocks to provide a secure and comfortable space for pets.
- Dedicated carrier space to accommodate different pet sizes.
- Enhanced ventilation for better air circulation and pet comfort.
- Thorough cleaning after every ride to maintain hygiene.
The company has assured customers that all vehicles offering Pet Rides are maintained to high cleanliness and safety standards.
Why BluSmart Launched Pet Rides?
BluSmart’s co-founder and CEO, Anirudh Arun, shared the company’s vision behind this launch. He stated, “At BluSmart, we believe the best journeys are shared with loved ones, including our furry family members. Pet Rides is our commitment to providing an inclusive and convenient transportation solution for pet owners.”
For many pet parents, finding a reliable and pet-friendly ride-hailing option has been a challenge. With BluSmart’s Pet Rides, pet owners no longer have to worry about transporting their pets for vet visits, grooming appointments, or travel plans.
How Does BluSmart Compare to Other Ride Services?
Uber launched Uber Pet in September 2024, allowing riders to book pet-friendly trips. However, it also set restrictions on certain dog breeds, including:
- Pitbull Terrier
- Tosa Inu
- American Staffordshire Terrier
- Fila Brasileiro
- American Bulldog
- Rottweiler
Additionally, Uber allows only one pet per ride and limits it to either a dog or a cat.
Unlike Uber, Ola does not have an official pet policy. It leaves the decision to individual drivers, making it an uncertain option for pet owners.
BluSmart, however, has not yet specified whether any breeds will be restricted or how many pets can travel per ride. The company is expected to release detailed guidelines soon.
What’s Next for BluSmart’s Pet Travel Service?
As BluSmart’s Pet Rides service gains popularity, the company may expand its reach to other major cities. Pet owners in Delhi and Gurugram can now book reliable pet-friendly rides, making travel with pets easier and stress-free.
With electric taxis, eco-friendly practices, and dedicated pet travel options, BluSmart is setting new standards in pet-friendly transportation.
