Cars are often used in film, television, advertising and content production. Sometimes the vehicle is part of the scene, sometimes it is used as a background prop, and sometimes it is a specialist or classic model that needs careful handling.

A professional vehicle transport service can move production vehicles safely to studios, filming locations and event sites across the UK.

Why production vehicles are transported

Film and TV vehicles are often transported because:

• The car needs to arrive clean and ready for filming
• The vehicle is rare, valuable or difficult to replace
• The filming location is far from the owner
• The car should not gain extra mileage
• The vehicle is not road legal or is only used as a prop

Common types of vehicles used in productions

Production transport may involve:

• Classic cars
• Performance cars
• Modified vehicles
• Vintage vans
• Motorbikes
• Show cars and promotional vehicles

Timing is especially important

Film and TV productions often work to strict schedules. The vehicle may need to arrive before a certain call time and be ready in a specific location.

When booking vehicle transport for filming, provide:

• Exact filming address
• Required arrival time
• Site contact details
• Vehicle make and model
• Collection postcode
• Any access restrictions

Access at filming locations

Some locations can be difficult for transporters. Country estates, city centres, studio lots and private locations may have security gates or limited access.

It helps to confirm where the vehicle should be unloaded and whether a nearby meeting point would be easier.

Protecting the vehicle before filming

Transport can help keep the vehicle clean and reduce the chance of road dirt, stone chips or mechanical problems before the shoot.

This is especially useful for vehicles that need to look perfect on camera.
