Looking for events & day trips from Sorrento? Taxi Peninsula picks up from any address in Sorrento 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.
Ocean Beach Road and the foreshore around the ferry terminal are very busy in summer and on long weekends, and parking is scarce. Point Nepean Road is the only main road in and out, so expect slow traffic during holiday peaks and after events. Ferry arrivals bring a rush of passengers at once, so arrange a clear meeting point near the terminal. There is no train on the southern Peninsula. Many back-street holiday homes are hard to find at night, so add property details to your booking. Narrow side streets near the main street have limited stopping space.

Τι άλλο ρωτούν συχνά;
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 sorrento
How long does it take from Sorrento to Κέντρο της Μελβούρνης (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 Sorrento?
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 Sorrento?
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 meet me off the Queenscliff ferry in Sorrento?
Yes. Tell us roughly which sailing you are on and we will arrange a meeting point near the Sorrento ferry terminal. If the crossing is delayed, call us and we will adjust. Foot passengers with luggage, and passengers travelling in a wheelchair, can be met with a suitable vehicle.
Do you take wedding guests from Sorrento venues back to their accommodation?
We do. Book in advance with the venue name, finish time and the addresses guests need to reach. Late evenings in summer are busy, so locking in times early is wise. Our Maxi WAT can carry six seated guests plus two wheelchairs, which is useful for families or older relatives.
How far ahead should I book an airport taxi from Sorrento?
Book at least the day before, and earlier during summer and holiday periods. Sorrento is at the far end of the Peninsula, so we plan the pick-up time carefully around your flight. For arrivals, include your flight number and we will track it so the driver is there when you land.
