Looking for events & day trips from Carrum Downs? Taxi Peninsula picks up from any address in Carrum Downs in a wheelchair accessible taxi with a ramp or hoist, four-point wheelchair restraints and a driver trained to help you in and out safely.
Frankston-Dandenong Road is the main north-south route and can be heavy with trucks during business hours. EastLink and the Frankston Freeway provide quick access north and south. Industrial areas can be confusing at night, with large sites and multiple gates, so give the exact entrance or building number. There is no train station in Carrum Downs; Seaford, Kananook and Frankston stations on the Frankston line are closest. School zones and shopping areas add congestion at peak times. Residential streets on the western side are quieter and easier for wheelchair loading. Peak-hour traffic on Frankston-Dandenong Road and near the EastLink ramps can add time to your trip. Night pick-ups in industrial areas are safest at a lit entrance.

Cos’altro chiedono le persone?
Can you pick us up after the game or concert?
Yes. Book a return trip and agree a meeting point near the venue when you book. Crowds and road closures can make stadium and arena pick-ups slow, so keep your phone switched on and let the driver know when you are leaving. If the event runs late, call us and we will adjust the pick-up.
Do you go to the races at Flemington and Caulfield?
Yes. We take passengers from the Peninsula and Frankston to Flemington and Caulfield, as well as to Mornington Racecourse and Cranbourne. Big race days bring heavy traffic and busy drop-off areas, so book well ahead and allow extra time. Groups can travel together in the Maxi.
Can a wheelchair user come to an event with friends?
Yes. Our wheelchair accessible van carries one wheelchair plus four seated passengers, and the Maxi WAT carries two wheelchairs plus six seated passengers. Both have four-point restraints and lap-sash seatbelts, so a wheelchair user can travel in the same vehicle as friends or family to the game, concert or show.
Can you plan a day trip around the Peninsula for us?
We can help you shape a simple day out, such as a drive along the bay to Sorrento, lunch in Red Hill and a stop at Arthurs Seat. Tell us what interests your group, any mobility needs and how long you want to be out, and we will suggest a plan and a suitable vehicle.
How do we book an event trip?
Use the online form, which takes about two minutes, or ring us with the event, the venue, the number of passengers and when you want collecting afterwards. An SMS or email confirms the booking. The booking form shows a fare estimate, and we can provide a fixed quote on request for planned outings.
