Argentina Authorizes Pets on Long‑Distance Buses and Trains Under New National Rule

Carriers signal a gradual rollout pending final fees, limits, protocols plus station setups.

Overview

  • Resolution 2076/2025, published in the Boletín Oficial, permits pet travel on long‑distance motorcoach and interurban rail services under national jurisdiction.
  • Each adult may bring one domestic animal in a closed carrier placed on the lap, under the seat, or secured in the adjacent window seat, with proof of current rabies vaccination and required sanitary documentation.
  • Guide and assistance dogs remain governed by their specific legal framework and continue to travel free of charge.
  • Operators can charge a dedicated pet fee, impose additional conditions on species, breeds, weights, ages and dimensions, schedule pet‑friendly services, and must implement cleaning and disinfection protocols.
  • Stations and terminals must create signposted spaces for waiting and boarding with animals, and companies report implementation will proceed progressively as operational details are set.
