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 — billed to the production, not a personal card.
A production transportation account lets a film or TV production run all of its ground movement — talent pickups, location moves, network and studio executives, crew transfers — through one chauffeur partner billed directly to the production, with a COI on file and discretion built in. No personal cards, no rideshare receipts to chase down at wrap, no stranger driving your lead.
Production runs on schedule and on discretion, and ground transportation is where both get tested. Here is how an account handles the parts that ad-hoc booking can't.
What production transportation actually demands
- Discretion — a vetted, NDA-comfortable chauffeur who doesn't photograph talent, post locations, or talk. Confidentiality is 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 & paperwork — a COI naming the production, clean licensing, and an invoice your line producer can reconcile against the budget.
- Flexibility — call times move, locations change, days run long. The partner absorbs the chaos instead of surge-pricing it back to you.
Billed to the production, not a person
On an account, every ride lands on one itemized invoice billed to the production company — by date, route, and purpose — paid by ACH with no card fee. Your coordinator stops fronting rides on a personal card and waiting on 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's 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 — talent to set, executives between the studio and meetings, crew transfers as needed — in a detailed Cadillac Escalade ESV. The same chauffeur stays with your production where continuity matters, learning the talent's preferences and the location logistics. Hourly as-directed holds the car for a shoot day; point-to-point covers individual moves. Everything draws from the one account.
Setting up a production account
Send us the production details and the COI requirements; we provision the account and portal, put your insurance certificate on file, and you're running within a day or two — no long-term contract, 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.
Questions about this
Can you provide a COI for our production?
Yes — Continental provides a Certificate of Insurance naming the production company (and additional insureds as required) before the first ride, with commercial auto and liability coverage.
Are your chauffeurs discreet with talent?
Discretion is the standard: vetted, background-checked, NDA-comfortable chauffeurs who don't 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 — by date, route, and purpose — paid by ACH (no fee) or card. No personal cards, no reimbursement chasing at wrap.
Can you handle early call times and long days?
Yes. Pickups are confirmed the night before, we dispatch 24/7, and hourly as-directed holds the car for the full shoot day so a moving call sheet never means a missing car.
