Tucked between Frankston and Mornington, Mount Eliza is a quiet, green suburb with a strong village centre, and Taxi Peninsula looks after its trips at any hour. Choose a sedan for an everyday ride or a wheelchair accessible taxi when a passenger needs ramp or hoist access. Older residents, school families and commuters all make up a large share of our bookings in the area.
Mount Eliza Village is the local hub for shopping, cafes and services, while the bayside streets of Ranelagh and the cliffs around Canadian Bay lead down to the water. Mount Eliza Regional Park sits on the inland side. The suburb is home to well-known schools such as Toorak College and Peninsula Grammar, so school-time trips are a regular part of our work. Nepean Highway and the Moorooduc Highway are the main roads, and with no train station in Mount Eliza, residents often book a taxi to Frankston station. Frankston Hospital, The Bays Hospital in Mornington and Bayside Shopping Centre are other common destinations.
If you are catching an early flight or have a fixed appointment time, book the night before. Our Maxi WAT seats six and carries two wheelchairs, and is handy for families, small groups or heavier power chairs. We accept MPTP cards and NDIS and aged-care accounts, and a carer can travel with the passenger. Fare estimates appear on the booking form, and fixed quotes are available on request.

What should I know about getting around Mount Eliza?
Nepean Highway runs along the bay side of Mount Eliza and gets busy at school drop-off and pick-up times. The Moorooduc Highway, on the inland side, links quickly to Peninsula Link and Frankston. Mount Eliza Village can be congested on weekends, so a side-street pick-up may be faster. Some streets towards the bay are narrow and winding with steep driveways. The nearest rail link is Frankston station, where the Frankston line begins. Canadian Bay Road and the streets leading down to the bay have limited stopping space, so pick a driveway or side street for loading. Traffic towards Frankston can build on weekday mornings.

Questions about travelling in Mount Eliza
Can you do regular trips to schools in Mount Eliza?
Yes. Parents and guardians can set up recurring bookings for school runs to and from schools in Mount Eliza and nearby suburbs. Give us the student's details, the school gate or meeting point and the times. Let us know if a wheelchair accessible vehicle is needed. School zones are busy, so we plan pick-ups with a little margin.
What is the easiest way from Mount Eliza to the train?
Frankston station is the closest metropolitan station, and a taxi gets you there via the Nepean or Moorooduc Highway. Tell us which train you are aiming for so we can time the pick-up. For daily commuters, a standing booking saves calling each morning, and you will get confirmation by SMS or email.
Can a wheelchair taxi pick me up from Mount Eliza Village?
Yes. The village can be busy, so we usually suggest a quieter side street or a spot with enough room behind the vehicle for the ramp or hoist. Describe where you will be waiting in the booking notes, and the driver will come to you and help with loading and restraints.
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.
