Looking for group & maxi travel 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.

What else do people ask?
How many people fit in a Maxi taxi?
Our Maxi WAT carries up to six seated passengers plus two wheelchair users. Every passenger has a lap-sash seatbelt, and wheelchairs are secured with four-point restraints. If your group is bigger than one Maxi, we can send an additional vehicle and coordinate both so the group travels at about the same time.
Can the Maxi pick people up from different addresses?
Yes. List each pick-up address in order when you book, and the driver will collect everyone along the way. The same works in reverse at the end of a night out, with passengers dropped at their own homes. Giving us all the addresses upfront lets us plan the most sensible route.
Is the Maxi only for wheelchair users?
No. The Maxi is a wheelchair accessible taxi, but it is just as useful for groups without any wheelchairs. Families, friends, work teams and sporting groups book it for airport trips, dinners, events and day trips simply because everyone can travel in one vehicle together.
Will our luggage fit for an airport trip?
Tell us how many suitcases, prams, golf bags or other large items you have when you book. We will confirm whether everything fits in the Maxi with your group, or suggest a second vehicle if needed. Space depends on how many seats and wheelchair positions are in use on the trip.
How far ahead should we book a Maxi?
As early as possible, especially for weekend nights, public holidays, the summer season on the Peninsula and big event days in Melbourne. Maxi vehicles are popular with groups and wheelchair users alike. Book online in about two minutes or phone us, and you will receive an SMS or email confirmation.
Questions about group & maxi travel from sorrento
How long does it take from Sorrento to 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 group & maxi travel 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.
