Looking for medical & hospital 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.

ما الأسئلة الأخرى التي يطرحها الناس؟
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 rye
How long does it take from Rye to وسط مدينة ملبورن (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 medical & hospital 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.
