Action Vehicles for Film and TV Production UK
Script-Matched. Cleared. On-Call.
Film Unit Car supplies specialist action vehicles for film, TV and commercial productions across the UK. From armoured SUVs and stunt cars to period vehicles and military fleet, every vehicle is sourced, prepared and coordinated to meet your script requirements on the day.
Action Vehicles Built Around Your Script, Not a Standard Fleet List
Action vehicles are any vehicles that appear on camera in a scripted, staged or stunt context. That includes chase cars, armoured vehicles, military fleet, period classics, motorcycles and any vehicle wired for a camera rig.
Getting the wrong vehicle on set costs time, money and continuity. Getting the right one, sourced, cleared and coordinated before the camera rolls, is what we do for transport captains, stunt coordinators, ADs and production managers across the UK.
