FAQs about Varanasi Airport to Mau taxis
Is this route suitable for overnight journeys?
Yes, but if you are landing late, consider booking a hotel either in Mau or mid-way and avoid very late-night dhaba halts with family.
Can I use a tempo traveller for groups?
For large families or groups, ask for a 12–17 seater tempo traveller. Pricing depends on exact group size and stay duration; expect higher per-km than Innovas but better per-person value.
Are buses a good alternative?
Buses run between Varanasi and Mau, but they start from city bus stands, not from the airport. With luggage and kids, a direct taxi is usually simpler.
