Looking for group & maxi travel 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.

Τι άλλο ρωτούν συχνά;
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 hastings
How long does it take from Hastings 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 group & maxi travel 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.
