Wheelchair Taxi Geelong — Safe, Dignified & Reliable Accessible Transport

Geelong Taxi Service provides wheelchair-accessible transport in Geelong and surrounding areas. We understand that reliable, safe and dignified transport is essential for passengers with mobility needs — and we take that responsibility seriously.

We currently accommodate passengers with wheelchairs and mobility aids in our Toyota HiAce Maxi Taxi vehicles with advance notice, and are in the process of adding dedicated Wheelchair Accessible Vehicles (WAV) to our fleet. Please call us to discuss your specific requirements so we can arrange the most suitable vehicle for your trip.

Who We Provide Wheelchair Transport For

We regularly transport passengers who use:

• Manual wheelchairs
• Folding power wheelchairs
• Walking frames and mobility aids
• Scooters (depending on size — please call to discuss)

We also provide transport for passengers with other mobility needs who require extra time, care and assistance boarding and alighting the vehicle. Our drivers never rush. We wait until you are safely and comfortably seated before we move.

Our Drivers — Trained for Disability Transport

Every Geelong Taxi Service driver is:

• CPVV licensed — fully accredited by Commercial Passenger Vehicles Victoria
• Background checked — full police clearance completed
• Working With Children check — valid WWC held by all drivers
• Disability transport trained — specifically trained to assist passengers with mobility needs
• Patient and experienced — our drivers work regularly with disability and aged care passengers

Booking a Wheelchair Taxi in Geelong

When booking, please provide the following information so we can prepare the right vehicle and make your trip as smooth as possible:

• Type of wheelchair or mobility aid (manual, power, folding or rigid frame)
• Whether you will transfer to a seat or travel in your wheelchair
• Any additional passengers travelling with you
• Your pickup and drop-off addresses
• Your preferred pickup time
• Payment method — MPTP, Cabcharge, cash or card

The more detail you can give us, the better we can prepare. Call (03) 7066 3000 to discuss your needs directly with our team.

Payment — MPTP, Cabcharge & More

We accept all standard payment methods plus disability transport programs:

• MPTP (Multi Purpose Taxi Program) — Victorian Government subsidy for eligible passengers with severe and permanent disabilities
• Cabcharge — NDIS and corporate account holders
• Cash, EFTPOS and all major credit cards

If you hold an MPTP card, please mention this when booking. Our drivers are familiar with MPTP and will process your vouchers correctly.

Dedicated WAV Vehicles Coming Soon

We are actively working on adding dedicated Wheelchair Accessible Vehicles (WAV) with ramp or hoist access to our Geelong fleet. These will allow passengers to remain in their wheelchair for the entire journey without needing to transfer.

In the meantime, we work with each passenger individually to find the best solution. Call us on (03) 7066 3000 and our team will be honest about what we can accommodate and how we can best help you.

Regular & Recurring Wheelchair Transport Bookings

If you need wheelchair transport on a regular basis — weekly therapy, regular hospital appointments, day programs — we can set up a recurring booking schedule. This means you don't need to call every time, your preferred driver can be requested, and we can plan your transport reliably week to week.

Contact us on (03) 7066 3000 or email info@geelongtaxiservice.com.au to discuss a regular booking arrangement.
