Tyabb is a small rural township between Somerville and Hastings, known for orchards, antiques and its airfield, and Taxi Peninsula is available here 24 hours a day. We offer sedans for everyday trips and wheelchair accessible taxis for passengers who use a manual or power chair.
The Tyabb Packing House Antique Centre, in an old fruit packing shed on Mornington-Tyabb Road, attracts collectors and day-trippers, and the nearby antiques and homewares stores make it a popular stop. Tyabb Airfield, a small general aviation airfield, is also in the area. Tyabb station is on the Stony Point line, while the Frankston-Flinders Road connects north to Somerville and Frankston and south to Hastings. Residents rely on taxis for Frankston Hospital, Frankston station, shopping in Hastings and Mornington, and trips to Melbourne Airport, since bus services are limited. The surrounding countryside is dotted with orchards, horse properties and small farms, and some families have lived in the district for generations. Many older residents no longer drive, so a dependable taxi for appointments and shopping makes a real difference.
With properties spread across farmland, it pays to book ahead, especially for early flights and medical appointments. Group visits to the antiques district can travel in the Maxi WAT, which seats six with two wheelchair spaces. We accept MPTP cards, NDIS and aged-care accounts, and carers come with the passenger. Fare estimates are shown on the booking form.

What should I know about getting around Tyabb?
Frankston-Flinders Road and Mornington-Tyabb Road are the main roads in Tyabb; both carry trucks and farm machinery, which can slow traffic. The Stony Point line stops at Tyabb station, but services are infrequent. Many homes are on farmland with gates and long driveways, so include directions and mention whether the gate will be open. Weekend visitors to the antique centre add traffic around the Mornington-Tyabb Road area. There is little street lighting on rural roads, so a porch light or open gate helps at night. If you are visiting the antiques district, agree a pick-up point in a car park rather than on the roadside, where stopping is difficult.

Yes. The Tyabb Packing House Antique Centre is a popular day out, and we can bring a group from anywhere on the Peninsula or Frankston. The Maxi WAT seats six plus two wheelchairs. Small purchases fit easily, but please tell us in advance if you plan to bring home larger items.
Is there a train from Tyabb to Frankston?
Yes, Tyabb station is on the Stony Point line, which runs to Frankston. Services are less frequent than metropolitan trains, so many locals take a taxi to Frankston station or straight to their appointment instead. We can book a regular commute if you travel on the same days.
I live on a farm property near Tyabb. What details should I give?
Provide the full address, the gate or entrance to use, whether it will be open and how far the house is from the road. Mention animals, cattle grids or a turning area. For wheelchair passengers, tell us where the ground is firm and level for the ramp or hoist.
Can I travel in my power wheelchair or scooter?
Yes. Most manual and power wheelchairs fit, and you stay seated in your chair. Tell us the make, width and weight when you book so we send the right vehicle. Mobility scooters can travel when they can be safely restrained — please check with us first.
Can a carer or family member come too?
Yes. Carers, family and assistance animals are welcome. Include everyone in the passenger count so we send a vehicle with enough seats.
How do I pay?
Pay the driver by card or cash, use your Multi Purpose Taxi Program (MPTP) card, or choose "Account / invoice" for NDIS plan managers, aged-care providers and businesses.
