Dromana sits at the foot of Arthurs Seat where the Peninsula’s bay coast begins to curve west, and Taxi Peninsula is on call here day and night. We send sedans for regular trips and wheelchair accessible taxis for passengers who need to stay seated in their chair. Our passengers range from permanent residents heading to appointments to holidaymakers staying in foreshore cabins and caravans.
Point Nepean Road is the town’s main street, lined with shops and cafes facing the foreshore and Dromana Pier. Behind the town, Arthurs Seat rises steeply, with the Arthurs Seat Eagle gondola and the state park lookouts drawing visitors year round. The Dromana Drive-in remains a local favourite on summer evenings, and the foreshore camping grounds fill up during holidays. Red Hill and its wineries are just up the hill, while the Mornington Peninsula Freeway gives fast access north towards Peninsula Link. Locals travel to Rosebud Hospital, Frankston Hospital, shopping in Rosebud and Mornington, and the airports.
During the summer peak, Point Nepean Road slows to a crawl, so pre-book trips that cannot be late. For early flights, book the evening before. Groups of friends heading to a winery lunch can share the Maxi WAT, which seats six plus two wheelchair spaces. We take MPTP cards, NDIS and aged-care accounts, and carers travel with the passenger. Ask for a fixed quote for longer journeys, such as a trip to Melbourne Airport or the city.

What should I know about getting around Dromana?
Point Nepean Road through Dromana carries heavy holiday traffic in summer, with camping grounds and beach parking along the foreshore. The Mornington Peninsula Freeway bypasses the town and is usually faster for trips north to Frankston and Melbourne. Arthurs Seat Road is steep and winding, so allow extra time and expect slow vehicles. Pick-ups at the foreshore are easiest at a defined spot such as a car park entry or the pier area. There is no train line on this side of the Peninsula. Off-season, the town is far quieter and pick-ups along the main street are straightforward.

Questions about travelling in Dromana
Can you take us up Arthurs Seat from Dromana?
Yes. We can drop you at the Arthurs Seat Eagle base station or at the summit area, and pick you up again later. The road is steep and winding, so we plan a little extra time. If someone in your group uses a wheelchair, our accessible vehicles can do the trip comfortably.
Do you pick up from the Dromana foreshore camping grounds?
We do. Give us your site area or a clear meeting point such as the camping ground entrance, because foreshore grounds can be crowded in summer and site numbers are hard to find at night. Mention any luggage or eskies so we send a vehicle with enough room.
Is it worth booking ahead for a winery trip from Dromana to Red Hill?
It is, particularly on weekends and in summer when cellar doors and restaurants are busy and cars are in high demand. Book both legs at once so your ride home is secured. Groups can share the Maxi WAT, which takes six seated passengers plus two wheelchairs.
Can I travel in my power wheelchair or scooter?
Yes. Most manual and power wheelchairs fit, and you stay seated in your chair. Tell us the make, width and weight when you book so we send the right vehicle. Mobility scooters can travel when they can be safely restrained — please check with us first.
Can a carer or family member come too?
Yes. Carers, family and assistance animals are welcome. Include everyone in the passenger count so we send a vehicle with enough seats.
How do I pay?
Pay the driver by card or cash, use your Multi Purpose Taxi Program (MPTP) card, or choose "Account / invoice" for NDIS plan managers, aged-care providers and businesses.
