Looking for events & day trips from Rye? Taxi Peninsula picks up from any address in Rye 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.
Point Nepean Road through Rye is slow in summer, with foreshore camping, beach parking and pedestrians crossing to the beach. The Mornington Peninsula Freeway ends near Rosebud, so trips north follow local roads towards Rosebud before joining it. Roads to the ocean beaches are narrow and can have sandy verges, and some holiday streets are unsealed. There is no train service here. When booking a holiday rental pick-up, include the full address and any name on the property, as numbering can be hard to spot at night. On ocean beach days, car parks at the back beaches fill early and stopping space near the paths is limited.

Cos’altro chiedono le persone?
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.
Questions about events & day trips from rye
How long does it take from Rye to Centro di Melbourne (CBD)?
About 80 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 events & day trips from Rye?
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 Rye?
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 take us from Rye to Peninsula Hot Springs?
Yes. Peninsula Hot Springs is in Fingal, close to Rye, and we take visitors there often. Book your return trip in advance or use the pick up when ready option, because demand rises in the evenings. Wheelchair accessible vehicles are available, and groups can travel together in the Maxi WAT.
I am staying in a holiday rental in Rye. How do I make a booking?
Book online or by phone with the full street address, plus any property name or description that helps the driver find it at night. Rye holiday streets can be dark and poorly numbered. Add your mobile number so the driver can reach you, and your confirmation will arrive by SMS or email.
Do you go from Rye to the ocean back beaches?
We do. We can drop you at back beach car parks such as St Andrews Beach and pick you up later. Mobile reception can be patchy near some ocean beaches, so it is best to book your return at a set time. Note that the paths down to the sand are often steep and not suited to wheelchairs.
