Mongol rally on the cheap
Discussion
There's been plenty of threads about it in the past, several PHers have done it - worth reading for some hints and tips.
It's not exactly the Paris Dakar to begin with, how cheap are you hoping to do it for?
As for sponsorship, start by figuring out why someone should fund the charity of your choice and/or your jolly, work backwards from there.

well we were hoping for somewhere around £3000, including EVERYTHING. But the cheapest we can possibly make it is what we want. I was wondering if anyone had any out of the box ideas. Well we've got car advertising space to sell to companies and I can try and get some interviews with local newspapers. I've seen some of the posts on here before but none of them seemed to be trying to do it on a shoestring haha
Halfords gave us free tents, sleeping bags etc. and we didn't even have to put their name on the car.
Going all the way through Russia is cheap because there's fewer visas involved, but it's also a bit dull at times!
Parked the car in Basingstoke town centre and let people write\draw on it for £1 - raised a few quid that way.
Sleep in the car until you get to the really cheap end of Russia\Mongolia then treat yourselves to a hotel room.

Get raising money.
Phone the headmaster of local schools and the manager of local supermarkets to organise a bag packing day with the intention of giving a proportion of the money to one the charities. Also print leaflets to give to people, showing what you're doing and a link to a donation page.
Make a Facebook page to document what you're doing, when you're doing it, and a blog of what you're doing when you're away. Donators, companies and family are more likely to give you money/sponsorship if they can see what you're doing.

money raised= Charity
Sponsor money = some to charity, some to rally, this is purely a business deal, money for advertising space.
We have to be able to afford to do the rally before we can raise tons for charity but we aren't trying to turn a profit if thats what you mean.
