What is a picture car fleet inventory?
Updated June 2026 · Revolution Picture Cars
Also called fleet list, or vehicle inventory.
The picture car fleet inventory is the master list of every vehicle committed or under consideration for a production, typically maintained by the picture car coordinator.
It includes each vehicle's description, owner contact information, daily/weekly rate, confirmed dates, prep status, current location, insurance status, and any outstanding action items. A well-maintained fleet inventory prevents double-bookings, missed prep deadlines, and insurance gaps, and serves as the single source of truth for the entire picture car department during a production.
Example
The inventory carries every vehicle's owner, rate, insured value, condition notes, current location, and the scenes it is committed to. It is what makes a forty-car show reportable rather than remembered.
Figures are illustrative, chosen to show the mechanics rather than to quote market rates.
Where you'll see it
Maintained by the coordinator or fleet manager from prep through wrap.
Common mistake
Keeping the inventory in someone's memory or a phone note. Once a show carries twenty vehicles, an untracked car is a car that gets forgotten in storage and billed for weeks.
