Dandenong is one of Melbourne’s major suburban centres, with a busy commercial heart and a richly multicultural community. Taxi Peninsula covers Dandenong 24 hours a day, bringing sedans and wheelchair accessible taxis to a part of the south-east that many of our Peninsula passengers also travel to.
Dandenong Hospital, part of Monash Health, is a major public hospital and a regular destination for appointments, visits and discharges. Dandenong Market draws shoppers from across the region for fresh food, and Dandenong Plaza is the main indoor shopping centre. Dandenong station is on the Pakenham and Cranbourne lines, linking to the city. The Princes Highway, Monash Freeway, EastLink and the South Gippsland Highway all converge here, and the industrial estates of Dandenong South employ thousands. People commonly travel to Monash Medical Centre, Frankston, the Mornington Peninsula, Westfield Fountain Gate and Melbourne Airport. Many of our trips here link Dandenong with Frankston and the Peninsula, whether for hospital visits, family, work or shopping.
For hospital discharges, the pick up when ready option lets you tap I’m ready or call when you are cleared to leave. Book ahead for early flights and appointments. The Maxi WAT carries six seated passengers and two wheelchairs, handy for families. We accept MPTP cards and NDIS and aged-care accounts, and carers travel with the passenger. Ask for a fixed quote for trips to the Peninsula, or check the fare estimate on the booking form.

What should I know about getting around Dandenong?
The Princes Highway and Lonsdale Street are busy through central Dandenong, especially at peak times and on market days. EastLink and the Monash Freeway provide fast access north and towards the city, while EastLink and Peninsula Link connect south to Frankston and the Peninsula. Dandenong station is on the Pakenham and Cranbourne lines. Industrial areas in Dandenong South are large and confusing at night, so give exact gate details. Around Dandenong Hospital, drop-offs work best at the main entrance; tell us your department. Market days bring heavy traffic and limited stopping space around the market precinct, so a side street may be easier.
