Does anybody have one? and do you think they are worth the money or best to just stick with crates?

I have a rear tailgate guard and a guard behind the seats.  This way the dogs have all the back on the car and I can open the tailgate without the danger of them rushing out. Ideal at shows on hot days too, as they can have the back up giving them lots of fresh air.

I've had fitted crates/transit boxes for my dogs since 1987 & I would never be without one now Just treated the dogs to a Lintran custom box & I think it is brill & so do the dogs

I love my Lintran box too and wouldn't be without one.  Definitely worth the money.  It keeps the car clean for one, which is well worth the cost.  It also means the dogs are safe and contained.  They are comfortable and happy in the car.

I have a fitted double cage for our Volvo- comes with escape hatches and divider and althouth expensive - yes I do think its woth it ;)
Dont have to worry about either dog jumping all over the car when travelling or jumping out when the rear hatch is opened etc :D
Ours is from MMG LD and Im very pleased with it :)

I've been on the lintran site, but they don't seem to have any prices there.

I'm seriously thinking about getting one but then again some of the ones I've seen are 300/400 quid and I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not...

Would it not be easier to make one yourself for a fraction of the price?

*Having a stupid idea*...

Buy 6 big squares of wood, nail them together to make a cube, saw out a big door in one side, saw out the middle of the door and fill the gap with some chicken wire or metal netting, attach the door to the cube with some hinges, add a lock and line the inside with plastic... there you have it, your own made transit box!!

Wow... can anyone tell me if this would work??!?!?!!

Ana - not the best idea in the world!  I can lift my Lintran box with ease, hose it out, turn it upside down to drain and put it back into the car effortlessly.  I can't see the same happening with a wooden box!!

My first Lintran box arrived with my first dog.  I had the box for seven years and it was ten years old when I was given it, when I changed my car I passed it on again and it's still in use. I would have been able to buy locking doors had I needed them and Lintran have been helpful at every stage of the way.  When I got a new car, I went without a box for a few weeks and the car got so mucky I ordered one.  The depreciation on the car would have been greater than the cost of the box and I can take the box out and have a dog-smell-free, hair-free, dirt-free car!  One reason why I prefer it over the wire cages.

wood is heavy, urine would be absorbed ~(if you have puppy) my dogs would eat their way through the wood during a journey and chicken wire would be as much use as a chocolate fireguard....................
