Looking for medical & hospital trips 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 does “pick up when ready” work?
Book your trip home in advance and choose the pick up when ready option instead of a fixed time. When the hospital clears you to leave, tap “I’m ready” on your booking or phone us, and we send a vehicle then. It suits hospital discharge, day surgery and appointments that tend to run late.
Can you drop me at a particular department?
Yes. Tell us the department, clinic or ward when you book and the driver will head for the most suitable drop-off point at that hospital or medical centre. If the entrance is a short walk from where vehicles can stop, the driver will help you get there.
Can someone else book a medical trip for me?
Absolutely. Family members, carers, support coordinators and clinic staff often book for patients. Give us the passenger’s name, pick-up address and any mobility needs, and choose whether the confirmation goes to the passenger or the person booking. The driver will ask for the passenger by name on arrival.
Do you go to hospitals in Melbourne as well as on the Peninsula?
Yes. Alongside Frankston Hospital and Rosebud Hospital, we regularly take passengers to Monash Medical Centre in Clayton and specialist hospitals in the city. We travel anywhere in Melbourne, so you can book a return trip for treatment, follow-up appointments or visiting a relative in hospital.
I need a regular trip for dialysis. Can I set that up?
Yes. Many passengers have standing bookings for dialysis, chemotherapy or rehabilitation on the same days each week. Let us know the schedule, the treatment centre and whether you need a wheelchair vehicle. MPTP cards are accepted, and approved NDIS and aged-care accounts can be billed for these regular trips.
Questions about medical & hospital trips 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 medical & hospital trips 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.
