SCENE 01 / PRODUCTION VEHICLES
Production Vehicles
Complete vehicle fleet for your Canadian production.
Here is how this works in practice. Production cars have the trucks, vans, trailers, and support cars that keep a film crew operational on location. Gear trucks, wardrobe trailers, cast motorhomes, and catering cars form the mobile infrastructure that supports each department across a shooting schedule.
Here is the short of it. We source and set up production car packages from local fleet providers, matching car types and quantities to your production's scale. Our team handles permits, parking arrangements, and scheduling logistics so your car fleet supports smooth daily operations at each location.

On Location
Sprinter premium fleet, 18-wheelers on the Trans-Canada and Skyline Helicopters charters
Here is how the work lines up. Canadian production fleets thread very different terrains in a single schedule. Toronto Pearson airport hauls onto the 401 corridor toward Hamilton or Montreal, the climb out of Vancouver over the Sea-to-Sky toward Whistler and Pemberton, and the off-road push into Banff, the Yukon and Iqaluit where Toyota Highlander, Land Cruiser and GMC Yukon 4x4 packages are required rather than optional.
Here is the breakdown. Our fleet sources from Discount Truck Rentals, Enterprise Trucks and the rental partners Canadian shoots trust: Ford Transit, Chevy Express and Mercedes Sprinter minivans as the common crew transport, Mercedes Sprinter for Toronto, Vancouver and Montreal premium and director cars, 5-ton and 10-ton trucks for gear runs, and 18-wheelers for the Vancouver-to-Toronto five-day haul or Toronto-to-Halifax 23-hour run when an entire feature package moves coast-to-coast. Trucking ships film-spec configured with shelving, lift gates and tie-down systems for camera, grip, lighting and mix loads.
Here is what that looks like on the ground. Logistics start with the Trans-Canada Highway 1 and the 401 corridor and realistic transit budget work. Toronto to Montreal is 5-6 hours, Vancouver to Calgary 12 hours, Toronto to Halifax 23 hours — units split between rail freight, trucking and air-freight on Canadian North, Air North and First Air for Iqaluit, Whitehorse and Yellowknife inserts. Helicopter charters route through Skyline Helicopters BC, Heli-One Vancouver, Cougar Helicopters Newfoundland and Discovery Air Yukon for backcountry lifts where ground access fails.
Here is how the picture comes together. Snowmobile and ATV staging covers Yukon, Whistler and Banff backcountry shoots. We set up parking permits with Toronto, Vancouver and Montreal film offices, file CBSA ATA carnets for imported specialty platforms at YYZ, YVR or YUL, and our coordinator stays on call for car swaps, fuel runs and all-night repositioning through TIFF September, Hot Docs April-May and the standard feature schedule.
