State entry tax and permits for Gujarat to Rajasthan and Maharashtra trips
A tourist vehicle from Gujarat that enters Rajasthan or Maharashtra may owe that state's entry tax or permit fee, depending on the permit it carries. The amounts depend on the state, the vehicle's size and the permit, and they change, so this guide explains what to ask rather than quoting a rate.
Trips from Gujarat into Rajasthan or Maharashtra may owe that state's entry tax or permit fee, depending on the vehicle's permit. Our fares (as of Oct 2026) leave it out: Ahmedabad–Mount Abu in a 17-seater is ₹14,400–17,500 before state tax, 2 days.

What to know
What state entry tax is
A tax or permit fee a state charges tourist vehicles registered in another state, paid at the border check post or online, per trip or per day depending on the state and the vehicle.
All India Tourist Permit
Many tourist vehicles carry an All India Tourist Permit, under which the operator pays permit fees centrally. Ask whether the vehicle has one, and whether the quote still adds any state tax.
What to ask the operator
Whether state tax or permit fees are in the quote or extra; which states the permit covers; and for the receipts. Every quote on this site lists tolls, permits and state tax as their own lines.
Papers the driver carries
The vehicle's registration, permit, insurance and fitness certificate, and the driver's licence. Operators upload these when they are verified, before they can quote.
Why the fares here leave it out
The state-tax table in the catalog has not been checked against current notifications yet, so public fares leave state entry tax out and say so under every table. Operators add it on the quote.

A permit for tourist vehicles that run across states, with fees paid centrally by the operator. Ask whether the vehicle has one and whether any state tax is still added; quotes on this site show it line by line.
