When considering new vehicles in Charleston, SC, our customers at Hendrick Volvo Cars of Charleston often search for vehicles that will be the best for taking their pets on long drives. Typically, you will want to make sure that your vehicle has room for a travel crate. This will provide the safest method of travel. SUVs, vans, and pick-up trucks make excellent choices for the best vehicles to pick when traveling with your pets.
If you have a coupe or sedan instead and cannot fit a travel crate, you still need to make sure that your dog is safely restrained. Harnesses can be fastened to the seat belt and the dog to make sure they are safe in the backseat of your vehicle. Always take care not to allow your vehicle to travel with you in areas of your vehicle that have airbags because they can be fatal to your pet in a crash.
