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

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.
Questions about group & maxi travel from dromana
How long does it take from Dromana to Melbourne CBD?
About 75 minutes without traffic. We add time for loading and securing your wheelchair, and for peak-hour traffic, when we plan your pick-up.
How much does it cost for group & maxi travel from Dromana?
Fares depend on distance, time of day and waiting time. The booking form shows an estimate, or ask us for a fixed quote.
Can you pick me up from my home, a hospital or an aged-care home in Dromana?
Yes. We pick up from any address — homes, hospitals, clinics, aged-care homes and day programs — and help you from the door to the vehicle.
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.
