Looking for group & maxi travel from Mount Martha? Taxi Peninsula picks up from any address in Mount Martha 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.
The Esplanade is scenic but narrow and slow in summer, when beachgoers park along both sides and pedestrians cross often. The Nepean Highway is usually the quicker route north to Mornington and south to Safety Beach and Dromana, with Peninsula Link reachable via the Mornington area. Hilly side streets and steep driveways can make kerbside pick-ups awkward, so a flatter meeting point may be better for wheelchair loading. There is no rail line; Frankston station is the nearest metropolitan connection. Beach box areas along the Esplanade have limited stopping space, so a car park entrance is usually a better meeting point.

Cos’altro chiedono le persone?
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 martha
How long does it take from Mount Martha to Centro di Melbourne (CBD)?
About 65 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 Martha?
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 Martha?
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.
My Mount Martha home has a steep driveway. Can a wheelchair taxi still pick me up?
Often yes, but it helps to tell us about the slope when booking. The driver will look for the safest level spot to deploy the ramp or hoist, which might be at the top or bottom of the driveway or on the street. If there is a flatter area nearby, mention it in the booking notes.
Can you drop us at The Briars in Mount Martha?
Yes. The Briars is on the Nepean Highway and we can take you there for a walk, an event or a visit to the homestead and bring you back later. Book your return at a set time, or use the pick up when ready option and let us know when you are finished.
Is there a train from Mount Martha?
No, Mount Martha has no train station. The nearest metropolitan rail is Frankston station on the Frankston line, which is why many residents book a taxi there before heading into the city. For hospital appointments or flights, a direct door-to-door trip is often less tiring than changing between car and train.
