Looking for wheelchair accessible taxis 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.

Mọi người còn hỏi gì nữa?
Can I stay in my wheelchair for the whole trip?
Yes. In both the wheelchair accessible van and the Maxi WAT you remain seated in your own chair. The driver secures it with four-point restraints and fits a lap-sash seatbelt for you. If you prefer to transfer to a seat and travel in a sedan, that is also possible, and a folding chair can go in the boot.
My power chair is quite heavy. Which vehicle should I book?
Book the Maxi WAT. It uses a hydraulic hoist rather than a ramp, which makes it the better choice for heavier power chairs and larger tilt-in-space models. If you are unsure, describe the chair when you book or phone us, and we will confirm which vehicle suits it before the day.
Can my carer and family come with me?
A carer travels with the passenger. The van seats four passengers as well as the wheelchair user, and the Maxi seats six alongside two wheelchairs, so family members can usually come too. Tell us the total number of people when booking so we allocate a vehicle with enough room for everyone.
Do you accept MPTP cards?
Yes, we accept Multi Purpose Taxi Program cards. Have your card with you and the driver will process it at the end of the trip. We also bill approved NDIS and aged-care accounts. Mention how you are paying when you book so the right details are ready before your driver arrives.
How far ahead should I book a wheelchair taxi?
We run around the clock, but accessible vehicles are popular, so book as early as you can, particularly for early appointments, weekends and public holidays. The online form takes about two minutes and you will receive an SMS or email confirmation. Same-day requests are worth trying too, so call us if plans change.
