While standard car insurance, breakdown and car hire providers systematically exclude pets from recovery and replacement vehicle protocols, AutoPets introduces the first-of-its-kind 'Logistical Intelligence' layer to ensure pet-friendly onward travel and immediate emergency care.
The Critical Gap: Pet Care During Vehicle Emergencies
Accident Occurs

Financial Barrier

While the automotive industry has addressed human safety comprehensively, the welfare of pets during emergenciesincluding breakdowns and hire cars remains largely overlooked. This gap represents both a serious concern for pet owners and an unprecedented opportunity for forward-thinking dealerships to provide a solution that resonates deeply with customers.
