Looking for wheelchair accessible taxis 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.

Τι άλλο ρωτούν συχνά;
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 mornington
How long does it take from Mornington to Κέντρο της Μελβούρνης (CBD)?
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 wheelchair accessible taxis 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.
