Wheelchair Taxi Doveton
Doveton is an established suburb with a long history as a post-war settlement area, close to Dandenong. We run wheelchair-accessible taxis here daily, with ramp or hoist-equipped vehicles and drivers trained specifically to assist passengers with mobility needs.
A lift to a medical appointment, the airport, or out to see family all work the same way. Wheelchairs travel secured inside, and nobody is lifted awkwardly getting in or out.
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.
- Ramp and hoist-equipped vehicles for manual and powered wheelchairs
- Drivers trained in assisting elderly and mobility-impaired passengers
- Accessible transport suitable for NDIS participants, self-managed and plan-managed
- One-off trips or standing weekly bookings
- Servicing Doveton and the surrounding area, 24 hours a day
Why Choose Wheelchair Taxi Doveton
Doveton’s history as a post-war settlement area close to Dandenong means an older housing stock, which sometimes means older, narrower driveways too. It matters for a vehicle that needs room to set up a ramp.
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.

What happens on a Doveton pickup
Doveton is long established, and a lot of the housing is older with narrower frontages. Drivers are used to it. They park as close to the door as the street permits and set up the ramp or hoist before the passenger moves.
Chairs and scooters are secured properly inside. Nobody is lifted out of their chair unless they would rather transfer, in which case the driver helps and stows the chair.
There is 15 minutes of wait time at each end of the trip.
When family or facility staff book
A lot of Doveton trips are arranged by someone other than the passenger, often a relative or an aged care worker.
We need the passenger’s name, a reachable number, and the equipment travelling. Where the same trip repeats, a standing booking keeps the details with us and improves the odds of the same driver turning up.
Paying for the trip
Fares are metered under Victorian rules. Ask at booking for a fixed quote if you would rather agree the price first.
Payment is taken at the end. Mention at booking if a facility or family member is settling it.
