Looking for group & maxi travel from Dandenong? Taxi Peninsula picks up from any address in Dandenong 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.
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.

What else do people ask?
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.
