Looking for group & maxi travel 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?
How many people fit in a Maxi taxi?
Our Maxi WAT carries up to six seated passengers plus two wheelchair users. Every passenger has a lap-sash seatbelt, and wheelchairs are secured with four-point restraints. If your group is bigger than one Maxi, we can send an additional vehicle and coordinate both so the group travels at about the same time.
Can the Maxi pick people up from different addresses?
Yes. List each pick-up address in order when you book, and the driver will collect everyone along the way. The same works in reverse at the end of a night out, with passengers dropped at their own homes. Giving us all the addresses upfront lets us plan the most sensible route.
Is the Maxi only for wheelchair users?
No. The Maxi is a wheelchair accessible taxi, but it is just as useful for groups without any wheelchairs. Families, friends, work teams and sporting groups book it for airport trips, dinners, events and day trips simply because everyone can travel in one vehicle together.
Will our luggage fit for an airport trip?
Tell us how many suitcases, prams, golf bags or other large items you have when you book. We will confirm whether everything fits in the Maxi with your group, or suggest a second vehicle if needed. Space depends on how many seats and wheelchair positions are in use on the trip.
How far ahead should we book a Maxi?
As early as possible, especially for weekend nights, public holidays, the summer season on the Peninsula and big event days in Melbourne. Maxi vehicles are popular with groups and wheelchair users alike. Book online in about two minutes or phone us, and you will receive an SMS or email confirmation.
