Looking for wheelchair accessible taxis 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.

Cos’altro chiedono le persone?
Can I stay in my wheelchair for the whole trip?
Yes. In both the wheelchair accessible van and the Maxi WAT you remain seated in your own chair. The driver secures it with four-point restraints and fits a lap-sash seatbelt for you. If you prefer to transfer to a seat and travel in a sedan, that is also possible, and a folding chair can go in the boot.
My power chair is quite heavy. Which vehicle should I book?
Book the Maxi WAT. It uses a hydraulic hoist rather than a ramp, which makes it the better choice for heavier power chairs and larger tilt-in-space models. If you are unsure, describe the chair when you book or phone us, and we will confirm which vehicle suits it before the day.
Can my carer and family come with me?
A carer travels with the passenger. The van seats four passengers as well as the wheelchair user, and the Maxi seats six alongside two wheelchairs, so family members can usually come too. Tell us the total number of people when booking so we allocate a vehicle with enough room for everyone.
Do you accept MPTP cards?
Yes, we accept Multi Purpose Taxi Program cards. Have your card with you and the driver will process it at the end of the trip. We also bill approved NDIS and aged-care accounts. Mention how you are paying when you book so the right details are ready before your driver arrives.
How far ahead should I book a wheelchair taxi?
We run around the clock, but accessible vehicles are popular, so book as early as you can, particularly for early appointments, weekends and public holidays. The online form takes about two minutes and you will receive an SMS or email confirmation. Same-day requests are worth trying too, so call us if plans change.
Questions about wheelchair accessible taxis from dromana
How long does it take from Dromana to Centro di 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 wheelchair accessible taxis 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.
