Wheelchair Taxi Harkaway
Harkaway is hilly and spread out, with properties further apart than in the surrounding suburbs. We cover this area daily in vehicles fitted with a ramp or hoist, with drivers trained specifically for mobility assistance rather than just driving.
A lift to a medical appointment, the airport, or a family visit all work the same way. Wheelchairs travel secured, and the driver helps with any transfer instead of rushing it, which matters more when the driveway is 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 Harkaway and the surrounding area, 24 hours a day
Why Choose Wheelchair Taxi Harkaway
Harkaway is hilly and spread out, with properties set further apart than the suburbs around it. That means longer approach distances, which matters when a ramp needs flat, stable ground to work properly.
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
Harkaway has some steep or unsealed driveways. Can your vehicles still manage pickups?
In most cases, yes. Mention the driveway when you book so the driver can plan where to park and set up the ramp safely.
Can NDIS participants book Wheelchair Taxi Harkaway?
Yes. We carry NDIS participants who self-manage or plan-manage their own transport funding, alongside our regular bookings.
Do you offer standing weekly bookings in Harkaway?
We do, and they’re common here, particularly for recurring appointments. Give us the schedule and we’ll set it up as a standing booking.
Can your vehicles take a powered wheelchair or mobility scooter?
Yes. Every vehicle is fitted with a ramp or hoist, and drivers are experienced securing manual chairs, powered chairs and scooters alike.
Do I need to book Wheelchair Taxi Harkaway in advance?
Not always. Local trips can often be booked with a few hours’ notice, though a day ahead is best for airport runs or busy periods.

Getting to you in Harkaway
Harkaway is hilly and spread out, and properties here are further apart than in the surrounding suburbs. If your driveway is long, steep or unsealed, put it in the booking notes. The driver picks the approach before arriving rather than working it out at the gate.
Once parked, the ramp or hoist goes out before the passenger moves. Chairs and scooters are secured inside, and nobody is lifted unless they would rather transfer to a seat.
Fifteen minutes of wait time applies at each end, which is useful when the door is not close to the road.
Booking a Harkaway trip for someone else
Most Harkaway bookings are made by a relative rather than the passenger.
We need the name, a contact number, and the equipment travelling. Standing bookings suit anyone making the same trip each week, and the details stay with us so nobody repeats them.
What a trip costs
Fares are metered under Victorian commercial passenger vehicle rules. Fixed quotes are available if you ask at booking, which is worth doing on longer runs.
Payment is taken at the end of the trip.
