Wheelchair Taxi Tooradin
Tooradin sits further south towards Western Port, so trips from here are often longer runs into the southeast or to appointments in town. We run wheelchair-accessible taxis through this area daily, with a ramp or hoist fitted and drivers trained for mobility assistance. Given the distance from central Melbourne, we recommend booking Tooradin trips a little further ahead than a same-suburb pickup would need.
Distance doesn’t change how the trip works. Chairs travel secured inside, and nobody is rushed getting in or out, whether the run is short or long.
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 Tooradin and the surrounding area, 24 hours a day
Why Choose Wheelchair Taxi Tooradin
Tooradin sits further south towards Western Port, so trips from here tend to be longer runs into the southeast or in towards the city rather than short local hops.
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.
