Film & TV Production Transport in Guildford
County Town Base. Surrey Hills On Your Doorstep.
From period drama locations in the Surrey Hills to a production office in the town centre, Film Unit Car runs cast, crew and equipment transport across Guildford and its surrounding countryside - with the A3 and M25 putting the Shepperton and Longcross studio belt, and every UK airport, within easy reach.
A County Town With Its Own Production Economy
Guildford is the largest town in Surrey, and it's built up its own production-support economy alongside that size - equipment hire, crew accommodation and a town centre that can absorb a unit base without shutting the place down.
It also sits on the edge of the North Downs and the Surrey Hills, countryside that's become a regular stand-in for period dramas and rural location work, usually within twenty minutes of a hotel or unit base in the town itself.
The A3 runs straight through Guildford toward the M25 at Junction 10, so a production splitting its time between town-centre interiors, Surrey Hills exteriors and a studio day at Shepperton or Longcross can do all three without a complicated route.

How We Move Productions Through Guildford And The Surrey Hills
Guildford work tends to split in two: tight town-centre moves around the station, the cathedral quarter and the university, and wider countryside runs out into the Surrey Hills and North Downs - we plan each leg differently rather than treating the whole day as one type of drive.
The A3 is the town's spine, giving a direct run north to M25 Junction 10 and on to the Shepperton-Longcross studio belt in twenty to twenty-five minutes, or south toward the A31 and Hampshire for productions working further out.
Our fleet is ULEZ compliant across every vehicle class, so a Guildford-based production that also needs a day filming in central London runs on the same booking without separate arrangements.
From Guildford, Every Studio Transfer
From the Shepperton-Longcross belt to the studios further round the M25, every major production facility is a booked transfer away, with real drive times from Guildford planned against your call sheet.
