Looking for wheelchair accessible taxis 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.

Τι άλλο ρωτούν συχνά;
Can I stay in my wheelchair for the whole trip?
Yes. In both the wheelchair accessible van and the Maxi WAT you remain seated in your own chair. The driver secures it with four-point restraints and fits a lap-sash seatbelt for you. If you prefer to transfer to a seat and travel in a sedan, that is also possible, and a folding chair can go in the boot.
My power chair is quite heavy. Which vehicle should I book?
Book the Maxi WAT. It uses a hydraulic hoist rather than a ramp, which makes it the better choice for heavier power chairs and larger tilt-in-space models. If you are unsure, describe the chair when you book or phone us, and we will confirm which vehicle suits it before the day.
Can my carer and family come with me?
A carer travels with the passenger. The van seats four passengers as well as the wheelchair user, and the Maxi seats six alongside two wheelchairs, so family members can usually come too. Tell us the total number of people when booking so we allocate a vehicle with enough room for everyone.
Do you accept MPTP cards?
Yes, we accept Multi Purpose Taxi Program cards. Have your card with you and the driver will process it at the end of the trip. We also bill approved NDIS and aged-care accounts. Mention how you are paying when you book so the right details are ready before your driver arrives.
How far ahead should I book a wheelchair taxi?
We run around the clock, but accessible vehicles are popular, so book as early as you can, particularly for early appointments, weekends and public holidays. The online form takes about two minutes and you will receive an SMS or email confirmation. Same-day requests are worth trying too, so call us if plans change.
Questions about wheelchair accessible taxis from mount martha
How long does it take from Mount Martha to Κέντρο της Μελβούρνης (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 wheelchair accessible taxis 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.
