Since this extra stretch is largely toll-free local road, the additional toll cost is minimal \u2014 expect only a small increase over the standard Varanasi to Gaya fare, mainly reflecting the extra distance and driver time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Varanasi_to_Gaya_Taxi_for_Pind_Daan\"><\/span>Varanasi to Gaya Taxi for Pind Daan<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Families travelling for Pind Daan at Vishnupad Temple often need the taxi on standby for a full day (or more) at Gaya.

What is the total toll tax from Varanasi to Gaya? <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For a standard car or SUV, one-way toll tax across all plazas on the Varanasi to Gaya route is typically \u20b9350\u2013\u20b9700, depending on vehicle type. The exact amount depends on current NHAI toll slabs, which are revised annually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Is_state_tax_charged_separately_from_toll_tax_on_the_Varanasi_to_Gaya_route\"><\/span>2. Is state tax charged separately from toll tax on the Varanasi to Gaya route? <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes. Toll tax is paid at NHAI plazas for highway usage, while state tax (or entry permit charge) is a separate fee paid to the Bihar Transport Department because the taxi is crossing from Uttar Pradesh into Bihar as a commercial vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_How_many_toll_plazas_are_there_between_Varanasi_and_Gaya\"><\/span>3. How many toll plazas are there between Varanasi and Gaya? <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Travelers typically cross 3 to 5 toll plazas on the Varanasi to Gaya route via NH-19, including stretches near Mohania, Sasaram, Dehri-on-Sone, Aurangabad, and Dobhi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Does_Chikucabs_fare_include_toll_tax_and_state_tax\"><\/span>4. Does Chikucab&#8217;s fare include toll tax and state tax? <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes. All Chikucab Varanasi to Gaya taxi fares are quoted inclusive of toll tax and applicable Bihar state tax, so there are no hidden charges to pay during the trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_How_much_does_an_Innova_Crysta_cost_for_a_Varanasi_to_Gaya_trip_including_toll_and_tax\"><\/span>5. How much does an Innova Crysta cost for a Varanasi to Gaya trip including toll and tax? <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An Innova Crysta one-way trip from Varanasi to Gaya, including toll and state tax, typically costs in the range of \u20b95,300\u2013\u20b96,300, though the exact fare depends on travel dates and availability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Is_FASTag_mandatory_for_taxis_travelling_from_Varanasi_to_Gaya\"><\/span>6. Is FASTag mandatory for taxis travelling from Varanasi to Gaya? <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes. FASTag is mandatory on all national highway toll plazas in India, including the entire Varanasi to Gaya route. Vehicles without an active FASTag are charged double toll in FASTag-only lanes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_What_is_the_state_tax_for_a_Tempo_Traveller_travelling_from_Varanasi_to_Gaya\"><\/span>7. What is the state tax for a Tempo Traveller travelling from Varanasi to Gaya? <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">State tax for Tempo Travellers on this route varies by seating capacity \u2014 roughly \u20b9500\u2013\u20b9800\/day for a 12-seater and scaling up to \u20b9800\u2013\u20b91,300\/day for a 24-seater, based on current Bihar commercial vehicle permit norms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_Do_I_need_to_pay_toll_or_state_tax_separately_if_I_book_through_Chikucab\"><\/span>8. Do I need to pay toll or state tax separately if I book through Chikucab? <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No. Chikucab handles toll payment via FASTag and pre-clears Bihar&#8217;s state permit\/entry tax for the trip, so these costs are already built into your booking fare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9_Is_the_toll_cost_different_for_a_one-way_trip_versus_a_round_trip\"><\/span>9. Is the toll cost different for a one-way trip versus a round trip? <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes. Return trips through the same toll plaza within 24 hours are usually charged a discounted FASTag return rate (around 1.5x the single toll) rather than the full toll again, making round trips more cost-efficient per kilometer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"10_How_far_is_Bodh_Gaya_from_Gaya_and_does_it_add_extra_toll\"><\/span>10. How far is Bodh Gaya from Gaya, and does it add extra toll? <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bodh Gaya is about 15\u201317 km from Gaya city. This final stretch is mostly local, toll-free road, so it adds only a small distance-based cost rather than an additional toll plaza charge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"11_What_documents_does_a_commercial_taxi_need_to_legally_cross_from_UP_to_Bihar\"><\/span>11. What documents does a commercial taxi need to legally cross from UP to Bihar? <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A commercial taxi crossing from Uttar Pradesh into Bihar should carry a valid national\/all-India tourist permit (or the applicable state permit), registration certificate, insurance, fitness certificate, and driver&#8217;s commercial license \u2014 all of which Chikucab vehicles carry as standard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"12_Are_toll_and_state_tax_rates_the_same_throughout_the_year\"><\/span>12. Are toll and state tax rates the same throughout the year? <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No. NHAI toll rates are typically revised once a year (usually April), and Bihar&#8217;s state tax\/permit charges are updated periodically by the Transport Department. It&#8217;s best to confirm current rates when booking, especially during high-travel seasons like Pitru Paksha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Book_Varanasi_to_Gaya_Taxi\"><\/span>Book Varanasi to Gaya Taxi<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Skip the toll-plaza guesswork and border-tax confusion.
