Toronto is one of North America's busiest production centres, and production transportation runs by rules that are unlike any other kind of corporate work. Call times are absolute, days are long, and the schedule changes after it has been published.
What production work actually demands
- Pickups at four or five in the morning, reliably, for weeks at a time.
- Wrap times that move by hours with no notice.
- Cast transport that is private and unremarked upon.
- Crew movement between base camp and location.
- Airport runs for talent arriving mid-schedule.
Consistency over a long shoot
On a production that runs for weeks, what matters is not one impressive day but the same standard on day twenty-three. The same chauffeurs, who know the call sheet routine and the base camp layout, are worth considerably more than a rotating cast of drivers who need the process explained each morning.
Talent transport and discretion
Cast transportation requires genuine discretion: unmarked vehicles, chauffeurs who do not discuss passengers, no photographs, no mention of who was carried where. We treat this as a baseline condition of the work rather than a premium service, and we are happy to work under a non-disclosure agreement.
Working with the transport coordinator
We take direction from the production's transport department and fit into their system rather than imposing ours. Call sheets, radio channels, base camp protocols and account billing per production are all normal. Our chauffeurs understand that the assistant director's schedule is the schedule.
Equipment and specialty needs
Sprinters handle crew with kit. SUVs suit talent with security. Where a production needs a picture vehicle rather than transport, tell us early, because that is a different arrangement with its own requirements.
Arranging production transport
See our filming and video service, and contact us with the shoot dates and locations. We will tell you honestly what we can cover.
