Moorooduc is mostly open country, small farms and vineyards between Mornington and Somerville, and that is exactly where a reliable taxi earns its keep. Taxi Peninsula takes bookings for Moorooduc at any hour, with sedans for straightforward trips and wheelchair accessible vans and maxis for anyone who needs to stay in their chair.
The Moorooduc Highway runs through the district and Peninsula Link passes close by, so getting to Frankston or onto the freeway network is easy once you are in the car. The catch is that there is no regular train or much bus service here, and properties are spread out along roads such as Bungower Road and Derril Road. Locals call us to reach Mornington for shopping and medical appointments, Frankston Hospital, Frankston station, and the airport. Visitors often book us to move between cellar doors in Moorooduc and the nearby Red Hill and Main Ridge wine areas, so nobody has to drive after a tasting.
Because cars are not waiting on the street here, booking ahead makes a real difference, especially for early flights or a set appointment time. A group touring wineries can travel together in our Maxi WAT, which seats six plus two wheelchair positions. MPTP cards are accepted, as are NDIS and aged-care accounts, and carers come along with the passenger. Ask for a fixed quote if you are planning a day out with several stops.

What should I know about getting around Moorooduc?
The Moorooduc Highway and Peninsula Link carry most traffic north towards Frankston, while Mornington-Tyabb Road crosses east to Tyabb and Hastings. Many properties sit behind farm gates or down long driveways, and mobile coverage can be patchy in pockets, so detailed pick-up notes help. Wineries and event venues get busy on weekends and during the summer holidays, and pick-ups at closing time are in demand. Book your return trip when you book the first leg so a car is lined up for the end of the day. Wedding and function venues in the district also generate late finishes, so give us the venue name and expected finishing time.

Questions about travelling in Moorooduc
Can I book a taxi for a day of winery visits from Moorooduc?
Yes. Tell us the cellar doors you plan to visit and roughly when, and we can quote a fixed price for the day or book separate legs. Groups can share our Maxi WAT, which carries up to six seated passengers and two wheelchairs. Booking your return leg early is sensible because demand peaks when venues close on weekends.
Is there public transport in Moorooduc?
Public transport is very limited in Moorooduc, with no regular passenger train and sparse bus coverage across the farmland. Most residents without a car rely on taxis to reach Mornington, Frankston station or medical appointments. A standing booking for regular trips, such as weekly shopping or therapy sessions, saves you arranging each one separately.
How do I make sure the driver finds my farm gate in Moorooduc?
Use the notes field on the booking form to describe your gate, letterbox number, driveway length and any landmark on the road. If the driver should come up to the house, say so and mention whether the vehicle can turn around. For wheelchair passengers, a firm, level surface near the door makes loading by ramp or hoist easier.
Can I travel in my power wheelchair or scooter?
Yes. Most manual and power wheelchairs fit, and you stay seated in your chair. Tell us the make, width and weight when you book so we send the right vehicle. Mobility scooters can travel when they can be safely restrained — please check with us first.
Can a carer or family member come too?
Yes. Carers, family and assistance animals are welcome. Include everyone in the passenger count so we send a vehicle with enough seats.
How do I pay?
Pay the driver by card or cash, use your Multi Purpose Taxi Program (MPTP) card, or choose "Account / invoice" for NDIS plan managers, aged-care providers and businesses.
