Looking for airport transfers from Melbourne CBD? Taxi Peninsula picks up from any address in Melbourne CBD 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.
Getting out of the city towards the south-east usually means Kings Way and the Monash Freeway, or the West Gate Freeway and CityLink, then EastLink and Peninsula Link down to the Peninsula. Peak hours and major events can slow these routes considerably. Many CBD streets have tram lanes, clearways and loading zones where stopping is restricted, so we agree a legal pick-up point in advance, such as a side street, a hotel drop-off area or a hospital patient pick-up zone. Large events at Melbourne Park and the MCG create heavy traffic around Olympic Boulevard and Punt Road.

What else do people ask?
What happens if my flight is delayed?
When you include your flight number in the booking, we track the flight and adjust your pick-up to the actual landing time. That way the driver is there when you come through, whether the plane is early or running late. If your flight is cancelled or diverted, call us and we will rearrange the booking.
Can you take me to Avalon Airport from the Peninsula?
Yes. We run transfers to Avalon as well as Melbourne Airport at Tullamarine, and to Moorabbin Airport and Essendon Fields for charter and private flights. Avalon is on the other side of the bay, so allow plenty of time when choosing your departure, and book early for morning flights.
Where do I meet my driver at the airport?
After you collect your luggage, follow the airport signage to the taxi and pick-up areas. Keep your phone switched on so your driver can contact you if needed. Arrangements differ between airports and terminals, so if you have any doubt, ask when you book and we will explain what to do.
We are a family of five with lots of luggage. Will we fit?
For larger families or groups, book the Maxi WAT, which seats up to six passengers and has more room than a sedan. Tell us how many suitcases, prams, car seats or sports bags you are bringing so we can confirm everything fits. If it will not, we can suggest a second vehicle.
Can I get a fixed price for my airport transfer?
The booking form shows a fare estimate before you confirm, which gives most travellers a good idea of the cost. If you need a set figure for budgeting or a business expense claim, ask us for a fixed quote when you book. We will confirm the details by SMS or email.

Yes. We regularly collect patients from the Royal Melbourne, Royal Women’s, Peter Mac and Royal Children’s hospitals for the trip back to Frankston and the Peninsula.

Will you collect me after a game at the MCG or a concert at Rod Laver Arena?
We can. Book in advance and nominate a pick-up point away from the main crowds, since the roads right beside the venues are often closed or jammed after events. We will confirm the spot by SMS or email. A group can share the Maxi WAT, and it also suits fans travelling with wheelchairs.
I am arriving by V/Line or coach at Southern Cross. Can you meet me?
Yes. Southern Cross Station is a common pick-up for passengers heading to Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula. Give us your expected arrival time and we will agree a meeting point outside the station. If your service is delayed, call us and we will adjust. Wheelchair accessible vehicles are available for passengers who travel in their chair.
