Wheelchair Taxi Botanic Ridge
Botanic Ridge is one of the newer estates south of Cranbourne, close to the Royal Botanic Gardens Cranbourne. Our drivers cover this area daily in vehicles fitted with a ramp or hoist, trained specifically to assist passengers with mobility needs.
Appointments, airport runs, and family visits are all handled the same way here. Manual and powered wheelchairs travel secured, and nobody is lifted out of their chair unless they’d rather move to a seat.
We also carry NDIS participants who manage their own transport funding. Booking works the same as any other trip: call or book online, and we send an accessible vehicle with a driver who knows what to do with it.

Why Choose Wheelchair Taxi Botanic Ridge
Botanic Ridge is still filling in as an estate, close to the Royal Botanic Gardens Cranbourne, so a lot of the streets are new enough that not every driver knows them yet. Ours do.
Many of our passengers travel on subsidised fares through the Victorian Government’s Multi Purpose Taxi Program. If you think you might be eligible, it is worth checking before you book.
You can book a single trip or set a standing weekly booking if you travel regularly. If you would like the same driver each time, say so when you book and we will do our best to arrange it. You can also see every area we cover on our suburbs page.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you cover trips to the Royal Botanic Gardens Cranbourne from Botanic Ridge?
Yes, it’s a short, regular trip for us given how close Botanic Ridge sits to the gardens.
Is NDIS transport funding accepted for trips in Botanic Ridge?
It is. We work with self-managed and plan-managed NDIS participants the same way we do any other passenger.
Is a weekly or recurring booking possible in Botanic Ridge?
Yes. Just tell us the schedule once and we’ll set it up as a standing booking rather than rebooking each time.
What wheelchairs and mobility equipment can your vehicles take?
Our vehicles are fitted with ramps or hoists for both manual and powered wheelchairs, and our drivers are experienced loading mobility scooters and other equipment.
How much notice do you need for a booking in Botanic Ridge?
A few hours is usually fine for a local trip. If it’s an airport run or a busy time, booking a day ahead gives us a better shot at the right vehicle.

How the pickup works in Botanic Ridge
Botanic Ridge is newer, so streets are generally wide and easy to work in. That helps, but the routine does not change: ramp or hoist out first, securing points checked, then the passenger boards.
Manual and powered wheelchairs both travel restrained, as do mobility scooters. If a passenger would rather ride in a normal seat, the driver assists and stows the chair.
Fifteen minutes of wait time is allowed at pickup and again at drop-off.
Booking on behalf of a resident or relative
Plenty of Botanic Ridge bookings are made by somebody other than the person travelling. That is ordinary here.
Tell us who is going, give a number that will be answered, and name the equipment. If the trip repeats weekly, ask for a standing booking. Drivers are independent contractors, though each holds commercial passenger vehicle accreditation and mobility training.
Fares and payment
Fares are metered under Victorian rules. Fixed quotes are available on request, which most people use for airport runs.
Payment comes at the end of the trip, and a third party can settle it if arranged at booking.
