Before you step intO the CiRcle
Who are Madcap Luxe expeditions designed for?
Our journeys are crafted for discerning travellers who seek the thrill of self-drive road trips, the spirit of adventure, and the indulgence of rare indulgences. From iconic motorsport moments to untouched frontiers, every expedition is designed for those who collect stories few will ever live.
How many participants are allowed on each expedition?
Every journey is highly limited, with only 10–12 seats worldwide. This ensures intimacy, exclusivity, and camaraderie within the Circle.
Do I need to drive, or can I participate without driving?
Self-drive is the core experience, but chauffeur-driven options are available on request (at an additional cost) for participants who prefer to indulge without being behind the wheel.
Can I travel with my family?
Yes, you can. Seats can be booked for each family member, and in case you’d like to use one car for more than two participants, a dedicated vehicle can be arranged for up to four members. This also comes with a preferential price benefit. For comfort and experience, we limit it to a maximum of four per car.
What kind of cars will we be driving?
Depending on the expedition, fleets include supercars (Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche), luxury SUVs (Range Rover, Mercedes G-Wagon), or rally-tested 4x4s (Toyota Land Cruiser, Nissan Patrol, Ford Ranger, or Toyota Fortuner). Car allocations are on 2 participants per vehicle.
What driving documents are required?
A valid driving license (minimum 5 years) and an International Driving Permit (IDP) are mandatory for all self-drive participants with Insurance.
What kind of stays are included?
Only five-star, boutique luxury, or heritage properties are chosen — from The Peninsula Chicago to Emirates Palace Abu Dhabi. In remote locations like Upper Mustang, the finest available boutique/heritage stays are secured.
What is included in the expedition price?
Luxury accommodations, self-drive fleet allocation, curated cultural/heritage experiences, premium meals, convoy support, concierge, and Madcap Luxe Circle hosting. Flights, visas, insurance, and certain bespoke indulgences are excluded.
What level of safety and support is provided?
Every convoy is led by experts with a dedicated lead car, backup support vehicles, and medical assistance wherever required. High-adrenaline moments such as F1 track drives, scuba diving, or skydiving are guided by certified professionals. At Madcap Luxe, we believe safety is the highest form of luxury.
What kind of group will I be traveling with?
You’ll share the road with a global circle of achievers, entrepreneurs, adventurers, and motorsport connoisseurs. The Circle is defined by camaraderie, discretion, and a shared passion for journeys where adventure meets indulgence.
Can I customize parts of the journey?
Yes — bespoke indulgences like private helicopter rides, additional spa days, or curated cultural immersions can be arranged on request.
Are these expeditions family-friendly?
Yes, all our expeditions are family-friendly, and seats can be booked for couples or family members. Dedicated cars can be arranged for up to four participants, and we ensure additional care and precaution for families throughout the journey — at no extra cost.
What is the booking and payment structure?
A 50% advance is required to confirm your seat, with the balance due 45–60 days prior (depending on expedition). A refundable vehicle security deposit is collected closer to departure.
What happens if I can’t join after booking?
Refund policies vary by expedition and are clearly detailed in the Agreement. Wherever possible, we accommodate name transfers or credits for future journeys.
Do I need travel and medical insurance?
Yes, comprehensive travel and medical insurance is mandatory for all participants. Certain expeditions also require a high-altitude fitness certificate.
What makes Madcap Luxe different from other luxury travel brands?
We don’t create tours; we craft once-in-a-lifetime journeys. With rare access to iconic experiences, intimate expeditions limited to only a few worldwide, and indulgence seamlessly woven into adventure, Madcap Luxe is an invitation into stories money alone cannot buy.
What if I have a question that isn’t covered here?
We understand that journeys of this scale often need more than an FAQ. If there’s anything we haven’t answered, please write to us at info@maxperience.in or rohit@madcapadventure.in. Our team will be happy to connect with you at your comfort to guide you through every detail.
Do you also provide customized trips on an exclusive basis?
Yes. We have a dedicated team that curates fully bespoke itineraries with 24/7 concierge support, tailored to your group’s requirements. From inbound luxury journeys across Rajasthan, Ladakh, the North East, or the West Coast of India, to exclusive global expeditions across Europe, the UK, the USA, or anywhere else in the world, our team is happy to craft a journey made just for you.
Are these expeditions designed as bucket-list journeys?
Every Madcap Luxe expedition is built as a once-in-a-lifetime story. From driving the Mother Road, Route 66, during its Centennial to entering Nepal’s Forbidden Mustang Kingdom, or living Spain’s ultimate fiesta of road, sea, and sky, our journeys tick off the world’s rarest bucket-list experiences — curated with indulgence and access that only the Circle enjoys.
How exclusive is the Madcap Luxe Circle?
Every expedition is strictly limited to a handful of seats worldwide. This ensures intimacy, discretion, and a sense of belonging to a Circle where camaraderie, adventure, rare indulgence, and unparalleled motorsport access are shared only by the few.
