Looking for medical & hospital trips 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 does “pick up when ready” work?
Book your trip home in advance and choose the pick up when ready option instead of a fixed time. When the hospital clears you to leave, tap “I’m ready” on your booking or phone us, and we send a vehicle then. It suits hospital discharge, day surgery and appointments that tend to run late.
Can you drop me at a particular department?
Yes. Tell us the department, clinic or ward when you book and the driver will head for the most suitable drop-off point at that hospital or medical centre. If the entrance is a short walk from where vehicles can stop, the driver will help you get there.
Can someone else book a medical trip for me?
Absolutely. Family members, carers, support coordinators and clinic staff often book for patients. Give us the passenger’s name, pick-up address and any mobility needs, and choose whether the confirmation goes to the passenger or the person booking. The driver will ask for the passenger by name on arrival.
Do you go to hospitals in Melbourne as well as on the Peninsula?
Yes. Alongside Frankston Hospital and Rosebud Hospital, we regularly take passengers to Monash Medical Centre in Clayton and specialist hospitals in the city. We travel anywhere in Melbourne, so you can book a return trip for treatment, follow-up appointments or visiting a relative in hospital.
I need a regular trip for dialysis. Can I set that up?
Yes. Many passengers have standing bookings for dialysis, chemotherapy or rehabilitation on the same days each week. Let us know the schedule, the treatment centre and whether you need a wheelchair vehicle. MPTP cards are accepted, and approved NDIS and aged-care accounts can be billed for these regular trips.
