Pet owners in Delhi and Gurugram now have a dedicated ride-hailing option for their furry companions. BluSmart, India’s all-electric taxi service, has launched Pet Rides, allowing customers to travel with their pets in specially designed vehicles. Unlike Uber and Ola, which have limitations and inconsistencies in their pet policies, BluSmart is offering a structured and pet-inclusive solution.
Uber introduced its Uber Pet feature in September 2024, but it comes with strict rules, including a ban on several dog breeds such as Pitbull Terriers, Rottweilers, and American Bulldogs. It also allows only one pet per ride, limiting flexibility for pet owners with multiple animals. Ola, on the other hand, does not have a clear pet policy, leaving the decision to individual drivers, which often leads to uncertainty and inconsistent experiences for customers.

BluSmart aims to bridge this gap by providing a hassle-free pet travel experience. Its Pet Rides service is available for both standard point-to-point trips and hourly rentals, giving pet owners more flexibility. The vehicles come equipped with foldable dog-seat hammocks, designated carrier spaces, and improved ventilation to keep pets comfortable throughout the journey. Hygiene is also a priority, with each car undergoing a thorough cleaning after every pet ride.
Anirudh Arun, co-founder and CEO of BluSmart, emphasized the company’s commitment to making transportation more inclusive. “At BluSmart, we believe every journey is better with loved ones—including our four-legged family members. Pet Rides is our way of making travel more convenient and stress-free for pet parents.”

While BluSmart has not yet specified whether certain breeds will be restricted or if there will be a limit on the number of pets allowed per ride, its structured approach is already making it stand out. As pet ownership continues to rise in Delhi-NCR, this move positions BluSmart as a leading choice for those who want a seamless and pet-friendly travel experience.
