Maharaja is the name Indian operators give to a tempo traveller that has been rebuilt inside for comfort. Instead of tightly packed seats you get eleven to fourteen wider pushback seats, more knee room between rows, better upholstery and, on most units, curtains and reading lights. It is the same reliable chassis with a very different cabin.
Groups choose it for one reason: they want everyone in one vehicle and they do not want to feel it at the end of a five hour drive. Family reunions, wedding guests moving between venues, and small tour groups on a Rajasthan circuit are the typical bookings.
Because these are custom fit outs, quality varies more between operators than with any other vehicle on our list. We only book units we have inspected, and we send photographs of the actual vehicle before you confirm.

Four ways, depending on how you are using the vehicle. Whichever applies, the figure we send is the figure you pay.

| Airport transfer | A fixed one way figure, including parking and the driver's waiting time inside the terminal. |
| City day, 8 hours and 80 km | The standard local basis, with an agreed slab for extra hours and kilometres set before you book. |
| Outstation, per day | Quoted per day against your route with a daily kilometre allowance. Overnight stops include the driver's allowance. |
| Full itinerary | One vehicle and one driver for the whole trip as a single figure. Most guests choose this because nothing is left to settle on the road. |
