Get a Shitbox or rent one

Embarking on a road trip is one thing, but finding the ideal roadworthy "shitbox" is another. We are always on the lookout for the best "shitboxes" and offer them at affordable prices. Now there's no excuse not to embark on an adventure.

We understand that owning a "shitbox" might be a hassle, especially if our partners aren't thrilled about having a turd in the driveway.

That's why we have the perfect solution: you can rent one of our "shitboxes" and return it after the event. If you decide to keep it, we'll simply deduct the rental cost from the total price, and it's yours.

Here's how renting a shitbox works:

You pay a deposit of €1,000 (the value of the shitbox), receive all the car documents, register it in your name, and obtain insurance two weeks before the event.

You can customize the shitbox however you like, as long as it remains roadworthy. Stickers, paint jobs, and other modifications are all possible.

After the event, you can either return the shitbox by deregistering the car and canceling the insurance, removing any additions you want to keep that weren't originally on the car. You'll get your deposit back minus a €200 rental fee, which is quite a deal.

Alternatively, you can keep the shitbox, and we retain the deposit as outlined in the pre-established contract.

Which shitboxes can you rent or buy from Shitbox Adventures?

We introduce the luxurious Peugeot 306.

This French mid-size car is the "Midnight" version, likely named because after midnight, you often see Peugeots with at least one broken light.

This particular version was specifically created for the Belgian market in 1999.

Equipped with a 1.4-liter petrol engine, this three-door vehicle delivers a full 75 hp and, according to Peugeot, has a fuel consumption of 6.7 liters per 100 kilometers. With its 60-liter gas tank, you can cover 895 kilometers, assuming it doesn't break down first.

It seems this midnight version includes a rain sensor, but since it has been dry for months, we haven't been able to test it yet.

Surprisingly, it features central locking and electric windows in the front. The buttons on the left and right work in reverse, but they do function.

There's a radio inside that's worth half the value of the car, perfect for masking all the rattles. If you can't hear the problem, it doesn't exist.

Now that we've reviewed all the features, let's move on to the flaws:

The right mirror is securely held in place with duct tape.

There's a minor dent on the left side above the rear wheel.

The blower only works on setting 4; settings 1 to 3 are just for show.

A decorative bolt is missing from the plastic hubcap.

The plastic beneath the left front light is slightly loose.

With 177,000 km on the clock, it's just getting started, and like every French car, the maintenance warning indicator is always on. It's a reminder to check the oil level occasionally.

Rather fancy a reliable Japanese Shitbox?

Daihatsu CHARADE!

This sizable Japanese supermini car needed to set itself apart from the Japanese keicars. This refers to the Charade of the fourth and final generation, prompted by declining sales figures in 1997.

Equipped with a 1.3 Petrol engine, this three-door vehicle offers a robust 83 hp, making it more powerful than its European counterparts. Remarkably, the Japanese managed to fit a 50-liter gas tank, allowing for a range of 780 kilometers with an average consumption of 6.4 l/100 km!

The first owner of this Charade opted for the mouse gray color and managed to collide with some posts and walls before it was resold.

This TX version includes features such as electric windows, a rear wiper, electric mirrors, and a relatively new radio with standard speakers in the rear and front.

This model is from 1997 and can be identified by its facelift version, making it resemble the Toyota Starlet, but it's referred to as the budget version or Starslet.

The original plastic hubcaps complete this narrative.

Believe it or not, this vehicle has 111,000 km on the clock and underwent a blank inspection less than a month ago. You can hit the road with it in no time!
