Paying for your trip

Most Coburg passengers pay one of three ways, and often combine them: NDIS transport funding (we invoice self-managed and plan-managed participants' plan managers directly), the Victorian MPTP card (50% of the fare up to $60 a trip, and it stacks with your NDIS funding on the same trip), or paying yourself at an upfront fare quoted before you book. Full detail is on our NDIS transport page.

Which vehicle will come

We send the vehicle that suits the trip — the Wheelchair Taxi if you travel in your own chair, a sedan or SUV for shorter trips, the People Mover for groups. Capacities are on the fleet section of our home page, or tell us what you need and we will advise.

Coburg wheelchair taxi questions

Do you cover Coburg?

Yes. Coburg is inside our standard service area and we run wheelchair accessible vehicles there 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Call 1300 12 05 05 or send a booking request and we will confirm.

Can I stay in my own wheelchair?

Yes. Our vehicles are hydraulic lift equipped with four-point restraints, so you board and travel in your own chair — manual, powered or scooter. Tell us the type and size when you book so we send a suitable vehicle.

Can I use my NDIS funding or MPTP card?

Yes to both. If your plan is self-managed or plan-managed we can invoice your plan manager directly. We also accept the Victorian Multi Purpose Taxi Program card, which pays 50% of the fare up to $60 per trip — and you can use it alongside your NDIS transport funding on the same trip.

Can my carer or support worker travel with me?

Yes, at no extra seat cost. Tell us how many people are travelling when you book so we allocate the right vehicle.
