Tips from our drivers for Melbourne Cricket Ground

- Allow extra time for traffic before big games and concerts.
- Footy groups of up to eight can share the Maxi WAT to the ground.
The Melbourne Cricket Ground is Australia’s best-known sporting stadium, set in Yarra Park on the edge of the city. It hosts AFL matches including the Grand Final, the Boxing Day Test and major concerts, drawing huge crowds throughout the year.
Peninsula and Frankston fans book us so they can enjoy the game without the drive home or the hunt for a car park. We also carry families with older relatives and wheelchair users who want door-to-door help rather than crowded trains. Big games often mean road closures and heavy traffic, so we plan drop-off and pick-up points with you in advance. Some fans prefer to be dropped off and walk the last stretch through Yarra Park, while others need to be as close to their gate as possible. Tell us what suits your group and we will work around event-day conditions.
Our wheelchair accessible van and Maxi WAT both have four-point restraints and air-conditioning. The Maxi WAT carries two wheelchairs plus six seated passengers, ideal for families and groups. Fixed quotes are available on request for the trip to the city and back.
