Looking for events & day trips from Hastings? Taxi Peninsula picks up from any address in Hastings 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-Flinders Road is the main route north through Tyabb and Somerville to Frankston, and it can slow at school and work start times. The Stony Point line stops at Hastings station, but trains are infrequent. Around the marina and foreshore, weekend boat traffic and trailer parking can make pick-ups tricky, so choose a clear meeting point. For HMAS Cerberus, we drop off at the main gate area unless you have other arrangements. Many residential streets are quiet and wide, making wheelchair loading straightforward at the kerb. On summer weekends, traffic builds near the foreshore and boat ramps.

Mọi người còn hỏi gì nữa?
Can you pick us up after the game or concert?
Yes. Book a return trip and agree a meeting point near the venue when you book. Crowds and road closures can make stadium and arena pick-ups slow, so keep your phone switched on and let the driver know when you are leaving. If the event runs late, call us and we will adjust the pick-up.
Do you go to the races at Flemington and Caulfield?
Yes. We take passengers from the Peninsula and Frankston to Flemington and Caulfield, as well as to Mornington Racecourse and Cranbourne. Big race days bring heavy traffic and busy drop-off areas, so book well ahead and allow extra time. Groups can travel together in the Maxi.
Can a wheelchair user come to an event with friends?
Yes. Our wheelchair accessible van carries one wheelchair plus four seated passengers, and the Maxi WAT carries two wheelchairs plus six seated passengers. Both have four-point restraints and lap-sash seatbelts, so a wheelchair user can travel in the same vehicle as friends or family to the game, concert or show.
Can you plan a day trip around the Peninsula for us?
We can help you shape a simple day out, such as a drive along the bay to Sorrento, lunch in Red Hill and a stop at Arthurs Seat. Tell us what interests your group, any mobility needs and how long you want to be out, and we will suggest a plan and a suitable vehicle.
How do we book an event trip?
Use the online form, which takes about two minutes, or ring us with the event, the venue, the number of passengers and when you want collecting afterwards. An SMS or email confirms the booking. The booking form shows a fare estimate, and we can provide a fixed quote on request for planned outings.
Questions about events & day trips from hastings
How long does it take from Hastings to Trung tâm thành phố 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 events & day trips from Hastings?
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 Hastings?
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 me from Hastings to HMAS Cerberus?
Yes. HMAS Cerberus is at Crib Point, a short trip from Hastings, and we carry personnel, visitors and families there regularly. We drop off at the main gate area, as access beyond that depends on base security arrangements. Book ahead for early starts and for ceremonies or family days, when traffic around the base increases.
Is the Stony Point train or a taxi better for getting from Hastings to Frankston?
It depends on timing. The Stony Point line runs less often than metropolitan trains, so if your schedule does not match, a taxi to Frankston station or Frankston Hospital is quicker. A taxi is also easier with luggage, shopping or a wheelchair. We can set up regular bookings for commuting.
Do you pick up shift workers in Hastings at night?
We do. Taxi Peninsula runs 24 hours, seven days, and shift workers in Hastings and around the port book us for late finishes and early starts. Set up a recurring booking so you do not have to arrange each trip, and include the exact gate or meeting point at your workplace.
