Looking for medical & hospital trips 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.

Τι άλλο ρωτούν συχνά;
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.
Questions about medical & hospital trips from dromana
How long does it take from Dromana to Κέντρο της Μελβούρνης (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 medical & hospital trips 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.
