Production Vehicles

Production vehicles include the trucks, vans, trailers, and support vehicles that keep a film crew operational on location. Equipment trucks, wardrobe trailers, cast motorhomes, and catering vehicles form the mobile infrastructure that supports every department throughout a shooting schedule.
We source and coordinate production vehicle packages from local fleet providers, matching vehicle types and quantities to your production's scale. Our team handles permits, parking arrangements, and scheduling logistics so your vehicle fleet supports smooth daily operations at every location.

On Location
Ford Transit, Mercedes Sprinter, Volkswagen Crafter, and 4x4 Toyota Land Cruiser fleet via Hertz Ireland, Enterprise, Sixt, plus 5/10-ton trucks through TVM Transport and Pyramid Transport
Here is how this works in practice. Production vehicle fleets in Ireland route through Hertz Ireland (Dublin, Cork, Shannon. Belfast depot network covering Ford Transit and Mercedes Sprinter minivan inventory). Enterprise Ireland (Volkswagen Crafter and Ford Transit Custom passenger and crew transport), and Sixt Ireland (top and 4x4 stock including Toyota Land Cruiser and Land Rover Defender for Wild Atlantic Way, Connemara, Donegal, Wicklow Mountains, and Mourne Mountains Northern Ireland terrain). Camera trucks, grip trucks, lighting trucks, and 5-ton and 10-ton gear trucks ship through TVM Transport (Banshees of Inisherin.
Here is the short of it. Foundation Apple TV+, and Vikings Ashford fleet partner) and Pyramid Transport (Normal People HBO and The Quiet Girl 2022 Oscar-nominated transport). Honey wagons, star trailers, hair and makeup trailers, and production office trailers source through Movie Magic Trailers Ireland and cross-border Belfast suppliers. Section 481 productions running multi-month schedules at Ardmore, Ashford, Troy, and Titanic Studios stages all run these fleets.
Here is the breakdown. Common Travel Area frictionless border with the United Kingdom keeps vehicle movement seamless between Dublin and Belfast. Northern Ireland productions cross-border drive specialty rigs and tracking vehicles via Holyhead-Dublin ferry or Larne-Cairnryan with no carnet for UK-registered fleet. Helicopter charter for aerial second-unit and remote-location crew transport routes through Executive Helicopters Ireland (Weston Airport), Sligo Helicopters, and Helicopters Belfast (Newtownards). Atlantic maritime climate weatherproofing for Wild Atlantic Way and Aran Islands terrain dictates 4x4 stock with low-range gearing and recovery winches; ferry transport to Inishmore. Inishmaan. Inisheer.
Here is what that looks like on the ground. Skellig Michael UNESCO needs advance booking and weight permits with Aran Island Ferries and Skellig Michael Boat Tours operators. Driving on the left-hand side (UK convention, opposite of continental Europe) — incoming continental crew brief before departure.
