Looking for events & day trips from Mornington? Taxi Peninsula picks up from any address in Mornington 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.
Main Street and the streets around the harbour get busy on weekends, during summer holidays and when markets or festivals are on, and parking turnover is slow. Choose a side-street pick-up if Main Street is crowded. Mornington has no train line, so Frankston station is the nearest rail link. The Moorooduc Highway and Peninsula Link carry most traffic towards Frankston and Melbourne, while the Nepean Highway runs along the coast to Mount Martha. Race days at Mornington Racecourse add traffic around the track. Much of the back of town is residential, with quieter streets that suit pick-ups and wheelchair loading.

What else do people ask?
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 mornington

About 60 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 Mornington?
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 Mornington?
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 to The Bays Hospital in Mornington for surgery and bring me home?
Yes. Tell us your admission time when booking and we will plan the pick-up so you arrive with time to spare. For the trip home, use the pick up when ready option and tap I'm ready or call us once you are discharged. The driver can help you from the entrance to the car and into your home.
Do you run taxis to and from Mornington Racecourse on race days?
We do. Race days are busy, so book both legs in advance and agree a pick-up point away from the main gate queue. Groups can share our Maxi WAT, which seats six plus two wheelchair spaces. If your plans might change, keep your booking confirmation handy and call us to adjust the time.
How do I get from Mornington to the city without a car?
There is no train in Mornington, so most people take a taxi to Frankston station and continue on the Frankston line, or travel all the way into Melbourne by taxi. For hospital appointments in the city, a door-to-door trip often suits better. We can quote a fixed fare for a direct trip if you ask when booking.
