Looking for wheelchair accessible taxis from Tyabb? Taxi Peninsula picks up from any address in Tyabb 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.
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.

What else do people ask?
Can I stay in my wheelchair for the whole trip?
Yes. In both the wheelchair accessible van and the Maxi WAT you remain seated in your own chair. The driver secures it with four-point restraints and fits a lap-sash seatbelt for you. If you prefer to transfer to a seat and travel in a sedan, that is also possible, and a folding chair can go in the boot.
My power chair is quite heavy. Which vehicle should I book?
Book the Maxi WAT. It uses a hydraulic hoist rather than a ramp, which makes it the better choice for heavier power chairs and larger tilt-in-space models. If you are unsure, describe the chair when you book or phone us, and we will confirm which vehicle suits it before the day.
Can my carer and family come with me?
A carer travels with the passenger. The van seats four passengers as well as the wheelchair user, and the Maxi seats six alongside two wheelchairs, so family members can usually come too. Tell us the total number of people when booking so we allocate a vehicle with enough room for everyone.
Do you accept MPTP cards?
Yes, we accept Multi Purpose Taxi Program cards. Have your card with you and the driver will process it at the end of the trip. We also bill approved NDIS and aged-care accounts. Mention how you are paying when you book so the right details are ready before your driver arrives.
How far ahead should I book a wheelchair taxi?
We run around the clock, but accessible vehicles are popular, so book as early as you can, particularly for early appointments, weekends and public holidays. The online form takes about two minutes and you will receive an SMS or email confirmation. Same-day requests are worth trying too, so call us if plans change.

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.
