Action Vehicles

Picture and action vehicle hire for film, TV, advertising and PR, supplied from our own collection and delivered on our own transporters.

Klassic Garage supplies action and picture vehicle hire for film and television productions from its own collection of more than 35 classic, commercial and sports vehicles, working directly with production companies and with some of the best-known names in the industry. We're London based, with nationwide coverage including recent work in Cardiff, Edinburgh, Glasgow and across the North.

Every action vehicle comes with period-correct technical advice and, where a role calls for it, a uniformed or costumed driver who can appear in camera. Our emergency vehicles are supplied with period-correct uniforms as standard, and we work closely with art departments and agencies to get the details, livery and features right for the production.

A closed collection, trusted across the industry

Every vehicle in the collection is owned outright by Klassic Garage. We're a private, closed picture vehicle collection rather than an open rental fleet, availability isn't public/self drive, and vehicles are only accessible directly through us or through trusted members of the Picture Vehicle Guild.

That closed model has let us build a name across the film and television industry for unusual and rare action vehicles that are hard to find elsewhere, the kind of picture vehicle coordinators keep our number for.

Who we work with

We supply action vehicles across film and television, with production companies and picture vehicle coordinators booking directly, alongside some of the best-established names in the industry who bring us in on individual vehicles or full jobs.

Marketing and PR agencies are a significant part of what we do too, product launches, branded content and social media shoots, not just film and TV.

Ready at short notice

Production schedules change, and action vehicles don't always get booked with much warning. We keep the collection ready to move at short notice, some jobs have been booked and on location within hours of the call coming in. And because every vehicle is maintained, MOT'd and road-legal rather than a static prop, it can be driven on camera or straight to location.

Getting the details right

Getting an action vehicle believable on screen is about more than the make and model. We liaise closely with art departments to make sure the livery, crests, wear and dirt are right for the era and setting before the vehicle ever reaches set.

We're passionate about detail and making sure a vehicle meets your brief exactly. Many of our preserved vehicles are already period-accurate, and can be easily adapted to suit different eras or localities with our in-house graphics team.
