Film & TV Production Transportation Accounts in Los Angeles
How film and TV productions run ground transportation on an account: talent pickups, location moves, crew transfers, COIs and discretion, all billed to the production rather than a personal card.
A production transportation account lets a film or TV production run all of its ground transportation, including talent pickups, location moves, network and studio executives and crew transfers, through one chauffeur partner. Everything is billed directly to the production, with a COI on file and discretion built in. No personal cards, no rideshare receipts to chase at wrap and no stranger driving your lead.
Productions run on schedule and on discretion, and ground transportation tests both. Here is how an account handles what booking ride by ride cannot.
What production transportation demands
- Discretion: a vetted chauffeur, comfortable signing an NDA, who does not photograph talent, post locations or talk. Confidentiality is part of the job.
- Reliability on a call sheet: a 5 a.m. talent pickup cannot depend on whether an app finds a driver. The car is held and confirmed the night before.
- Insurance and paperwork: a COI naming the production, proper licensing and an invoice your line producer can reconcile against the budget.
- Flexibility: call times move, locations change and days run long. A good partner absorbs the changes instead of charging surge prices for them.
Billed to the production, not a person
On an account, every ride appears on one itemized invoice billed to the production company, showing the date, route and purpose, paid by ACH with no card fee. Your coordinator no longer fronts rides on a personal card and waits for reimbursement, and your line producer gets a single clean record to reconcile against the transportation line of the budget. For a multi-day shoot, that is the difference between a tidy ledger and a shoebox of receipts.

How it works on the ground
We take the call sheet, confirm pickups the night before and run the day in a detailed Cadillac Escalade ESV: talent to set, executives between the studio and meetings, and crew transfers as needed. Where continuity matters, the same chauffeur stays with your production and learns the talent's preferences and the location logistics. An hourly, as-directed booking holds the car for a shoot day, and point-to-point rides cover individual moves. Everything draws from the one account.
Setting up a production account
Send us the production details and your COI requirements. We set up the account and portal and put your insurance certificate on file, and you are running within a day or two, with no long-term contract and an account scaled to the length of the shoot. Continental is owner-operated, so the person accountable for your talent's safety and discretion is the person who owns the car.
Common questions
Can you provide a COI for our production?
Yes. Continental provides a certificate of insurance naming the production company (and any additional insureds required) before the first ride, with commercial auto and liability coverage.
Are your chauffeurs discreet with talent?
Discretion is the standard. Our chauffeurs are vetted, background-checked and comfortable signing NDAs, and they do not photograph talent, share locations or discuss passengers. Confidentiality is non-negotiable on every ride.
How is a production account billed?
Every ride is billed to the production company on one itemized invoice, showing the date, route and purpose, paid by ACH (no fee) or card. No personal cards and no chasing reimbursements at wrap.
Can you handle early call times and long days?
Yes. Pickups are confirmed the night before, we operate 24/7, and an hourly, as-directed booking holds the car for the full shoot day, so a changing call sheet never means a missing car.
