When renting your vehicle on PhotoWhips for film and television productions, there are several important things to consider.
First, insurance should always be discussed before the booking begins. While many production companies provide insurance coverage while your vehicle is on set, you should always verify exactly what is covered and request documentation if necessary.
Second, film productions often operate on long schedules. Your vehicle may be needed for several hours or even multiple days. It is important that the car starts reliably and is production-ready at all times. If your vehicle has any special starting procedures, quirks, battery switches, fuel requirements, or handling instructions, those should be clearly explained to the production team. Leaving a written reminder inside the vehicle is also highly recommended.
Before arriving on set, carefully document the condition of your vehicle with photos and notes. Any existing scratches, dents, or mechanical concerns should be clearly communicated to the people in charge so there is no confusion later.

In most cases, transportation to and from the filming location will be the owner’s responsibility. Arriving on time is critical. Film productions often involve hundreds of cast and crew members working on tight schedules, and delays can become very expensive if a picture car arrives late.

Finally, make sure all pricing, mileage limits, overtime charges, transportation fees, fuel expectations, and special requirements are clearly agreed upon upfront. Good communication helps create a smooth experience for both the vehicle owner and the production company.
