Looking for group & maxi travel 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?
How many people fit in a Maxi taxi?
Our Maxi WAT carries up to six seated passengers plus two wheelchair users. Every passenger has a lap-sash seatbelt, and wheelchairs are secured with four-point restraints. If your group is bigger than one Maxi, we can send an additional vehicle and coordinate both so the group travels at about the same time.
Can the Maxi pick people up from different addresses?
Yes. List each pick-up address in order when you book, and the driver will collect everyone along the way. The same works in reverse at the end of a night out, with passengers dropped at their own homes. Giving us all the addresses upfront lets us plan the most sensible route.
Is the Maxi only for wheelchair users?
No. The Maxi is a wheelchair accessible taxi, but it is just as useful for groups without any wheelchairs. Families, friends, work teams and sporting groups book it for airport trips, dinners, events and day trips simply because everyone can travel in one vehicle together.
Will our luggage fit for an airport trip?
Tell us how many suitcases, prams, golf bags or other large items you have when you book. We will confirm whether everything fits in the Maxi with your group, or suggest a second vehicle if needed. Space depends on how many seats and wheelchair positions are in use on the trip.
How far ahead should we book a Maxi?
As early as possible, especially for weekend nights, public holidays, the summer season on the Peninsula and big event days in Melbourne. Maxi vehicles are popular with groups and wheelchair users alike. Book online in about two minutes or phone us, and you will receive an SMS or email confirmation.
Questions about group & maxi travel from mount eliza

About 55 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 group & maxi travel from Mount Eliza?
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 Mount Eliza?
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 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.
