Looking for events & day trips from Mount Eliza? Taxi Peninsula picks up from any address in Mount Eliza 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.
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.

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.

Can you pick me up from my home, a hospital or an aged-care home 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.
