Looking for events & day trips from Somerville? Taxi Peninsula picks up from any address in Somerville 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.
Eramosa Road and Frankston-Flinders Road meet in the town centre and can be busy at school drop-off and pick-up times. Peninsula Link is accessible via Baxter for faster trips north to EastLink and Melbourne. Somerville station is on the Stony Point line; trains are less frequent than metropolitan services, so check connections at Frankston. Newer estates have similar-looking streets, so double-check the address when booking, and farm properties should include gate details. Outside the centre, rural roads have little street lighting, so a porch light helps at night. Weekend traffic towards Hastings and the Western Port coast also passes through town.

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.

Can you take me from Somerville station to home with my shopping?
Yes, and the driver can help carry bags to your door. Many Somerville residents use a taxi between the station, the Eramosa Road shops and home. If you need a wheelchair accessible vehicle, tell us when booking, and give a clear pick-up point near the station or the shops.
Do you go from Somerville to Mornington for appointments?
We do. Mornington is a common destination for Somerville residents, whether for The Bays Hospital, specialists or shopping. Give us the clinic name and appointment time, and choose a set return time or the pick up when ready option. A carer can travel with the passenger.
My Somerville address is in a new estate. Will the driver find it?
New streets sometimes take time to show up in maps. Add a note with the nearest main road or a landmark, and check your street name and number when booking. If the estate has several entrances, mention which one to use. Your confirmation by SMS or email shows the address for checking.
