Looking for wheelchair accessible taxis from Frankston? Taxi Peninsula picks up from any address in Frankston 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.
Frankston’s centre can be congested around Nepean Highway, Young Street and the station precinct, especially at school times and on weekend afternoons. Frankston Hospital on Hastings Road is busy throughout the day, and drop-offs work best at the main entrance or the patient pick-up area; tell us your department. The Frankston line and Stony Point line meet at Frankston station. Summer events on the foreshore, such as the waterfront festivals, can close roads near the beach. Peninsula Link and the Frankston Freeway are the quickest routes north. Around Monash University’s Peninsula campus, class change times bring a lot of student traffic.

人们还会问什么？
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 frankston
How long does it take from Frankston to 墨尔本市中心（CBD）?
About 50 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 Frankston?
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 Frankston?
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 I book a taxi home after being discharged from Frankston Hospital?
Yes. Choose the pick up when ready option when you book, and once staff say you can leave, tap I'm ready or call us. We send the nearest suitable car, including a wheelchair accessible vehicle if needed. The driver meets you at the hospital entrance and can help with bags and getting settled at home.
How do I get from Frankston to Melbourne Airport early in the morning?
Book the night before and give us your flight time so we can plan the pick-up with plenty of margin. Early morning traffic is usually lighter, but we still allow for roadworks and freeway closures. For return trips, add your flight number and we track your arrival so the driver adjusts to delays.
Do you pick up from Frankston station for people coming off the train?
Yes, many passengers use us to finish a journey that started on the Frankston line or the Stony Point line. Tell us which side of the station you will exit and roughly when your train arrives. If you are travelling with a wheelchair, our ramp van or Maxi WAT can meet you at the station.
