Karingal Hub is a large shopping centre on Cranbourne Road in Frankston. It has supermarkets, a range of specialty stores, food outlets and entertainment, and serves Frankston, Karingal, Langwarrin and the surrounding suburbs.
Shoppers who no longer drive, or who simply prefer not to carry heavy bags on the bus, often book a taxi home from Karingal Hub. It is also a popular spot for a film or meal, and many people would rather not drive home afterwards. Residents of Langwarrin, Carrum Downs and the surrounding suburbs also use the centre for banking, health services and everyday errands. For older shoppers, people who use a wheelchair or walker, and anyone without a car, a taxi is the simplest way to get there and back. The driver can help load the shopping into the vehicle and carry it to your front door, which saves a lot of effort, and you can come and go at whatever time suits you, including later in the evening.
Taxi Peninsula collects you from Karingal Hub and takes you home, with the driver helping with your shopping. Book a set time or use “pick up when ready”, and choose a wheelchair accessible vehicle if you need one. We accept MPTP cards, NDIS and aged-care accounts.
