Picture Cars: Executive Car Hire for Film & TV Productions
Chauffeur-Driven Cars for the People Visiting Your Picture.
Picture Cars is Film Unit Car's executive car hire service for the people connected to your production, not the daily unit run. Studio executives, financiers, press and international partners, collected and moved to the standard a working set expects.
Executive Transport for the People Around Your Picture
Every production has a second layer of movement that sits outside the daily call sheet: the studio executive flying in for a set visit, the financier attending a production meeting, the press day guest, the international partner in London for a week. None of them are on your unit list, but all of them need a car that reflects well on the production.
Picture Cars is how we cover that layer. One chauffeur driven executive vehicle, booked around the visit rather than a fixed shift, so an airport collection, a set visit and an evening event can sit inside a single, coordinated booking instead of four separate cars.

What Production Offices Say About Picture Cars
Feedback from production coordinators who book executive transport for visiting guests.
"Booked cast pickups from Heathrow at 6am with zero notice and the driver was already in arrivals when our talent landed. This is exactly the kind of reliability a shoot day needs."
Charlotte Wren
Production Coordinator, Streaming Drama
"We ran a full unit move from Pinewood to a Surrey location with three vehicles and a coach. Every driver knew the unit base procedure without us explaining twice."
James Okafor
Transport Captain, Feature Film
"Confidentiality was the deciding factor for us on a high-profile job. The drivers were professional, discreet and never once needed chasing."
Priya Anand
Line Producer
"We used Film Unit Car for a six-week shoot across three studios. Same drivers throughout, which made a real difference to our talent and to our schedule."
Tom Fairweather
Locations Manager
"Flight delayed by two hours and nobody panicked. They were already tracking it and the car was still there when our exec finally landed."
Ellie Marsh
Assistant Director
"Booked a last-minute crew minibus for a location day in Berkshire. Vehicle was spotless and the driver briefed on our unit base before he even arrived."
Daniel Okoye
Production Manager, Commercial Shoot
"They know Pinewood, Leavesden and Shepperton access procedures better than most transport captains we've worked with. Saves us so much time on the day."
