Schedule I’s new Cartel update offers a new questline, items, and vehicles to claim. With all this, you will require a new ride to get you around. That’s where the Hotbox comes in, making it easier to get around and carry more weight, helping you connect with customers quicker. This guide will explain how to unlock the Hotbox in Schedule I.
How to Get the Hotbox in Schedule I

Head over to Hyland Auto Shop and purchase the Hotbox for 30000$. To find the Hyland Auto Shop, head over to Northtown and visit the southernmost section to find the car showroom. Before you head over to purchase the Hotbox, make your way to a nearby ATM and deposit the required amount into it if your total balance falls below 30,000$. The Hyland Auto Shop only accepts card payments, so cash is a no go.
Once you get the Hotbox, the car is available for customization when you bring it to the shed. Each customization color will cost 100$. As for the storage space, it doesn’t offer a lot or as much as the Veeper. If you are looking for hauling larger amounts of products, then the Hotbox isn’t worth it. As for speed, it can’t be compared to the Cheetah, but it is still a sturdy vehicle to own to get around from place to place. The Hotbox takes better damage than other vehicles, and is a solid choice when trying to escape from the Cartel.
You would have also noticed that the Hotbox is the vehicle of choice for Thomas Benzies when you meet him for the first time as part of the Cartel main quest. He will give you some quests like fulfilling the Cartel deal when you agree to his offer. If you want to find a better storage space to keep your new Hotbox car, then you should purchase the Stash and Dash storage unit if you haven’t already.
