Looking for wheelchair accessible taxis 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.

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 hastings
How long does it take from Hastings 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 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.
