Looking for medical & hospital 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.

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 sorrento
How long does it take from Sorrento to Trung tâm thành phố 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 medical & hospital 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.
