Film production set with vehicles
Revolution

For productions

The picture-car marketplacebuilt for film productions.

The entire picture-car network in one platform. Pre-production that took weeks of phone calls now takes days.

01 — Origin

The picture-car industry hasn't changed since the rolodex. Until now.

Picture-car coordinators are the unseen architects of cinematic memory. Every chase, every reveal, every hero car holding the frame begins at their desk. For half a century that craft has been buried under phone calls and spreadsheets. Revolution is the partner that craft has been waiting for. 290 hours of admin compressed into three focused hours, every vendor and document in one place, every coordinator finally free to do what no software can: put the right car in front of the right camera.

08 — One signature

Rent dozens of vehicles with one signature.

No more chasing W-9s and rental agreements from every owner and vendor. Bundle them in one place, then send the agreement and quote straight from the app to your transportation coordinator for sign-off.

09 — Dispatch & protect

Manage your teamsters and protect your productions with pre-pickup inspections.

Every teamster runs a walk-around on camera before driving off the curb. Existing damage gets logged against the booking. The owner runs the same walk-around at return. Anything new is yours. Anything already there stays with the owner.

10 — Wrap

Wrap every project into one detailed wrap‑book.

Every wrap-book downloads as a zip and lives for years after the shoot wraps. And it isn't only the cars you rent from us — track every expense, document, and piece of paperwork, plus any vehicles you rented or purchased elsewhere, all in one place. Be the crew member they want back on the next show.

14 — Frequently asked questions

Your questions answered.

Classic green Jaguar parked at a period facade
What does it cost a production to use Revolution?

Nothing. Coordinators and productions use the platform free of charge. The vendors and asset owners pay us a small share on each confirmed booking, so the production pays the same day rate it would have paid anyway, just on cleaner terms.

Who signs the contracts?

The production signs one master agreement with Revolution. After that, every booking generates its own rental agreement against that master, e-signed in the dashboard, with the production's commercial insurance certificate attached automatically.

How is insurance handled?

You upload your production's commercial insurance certificate once during onboarding. From there, every booking automatically names the relevant vendor as additional insured. We verify coverage before any vehicle is released. No exceptions.

Can we use it for a single project, or only for ongoing slates?

Both. A one-off project can onboard in an afternoon. Studios with continuous slates get a master agreement and a shared workspace that follows them from production to production.

What can I source on Revolution?

Picture cars, backed by a national vendor network. Source any era, make, or condition from vetted vendors across the country, all booked and managed from one dashboard.

How do I see what's available before signing up?

Browse the public vehicle inventory directly. No account required. Detailed pricing, availability, and the booking flow open up once you've created a production account.

Which vehicles can car owners list?

All vehicles, regardless of make, year, mileage, condition, or running status. Productions source for picture cars, background fill, stunt rigs, hero vehicles, and static set dressing. Listings are not gated on restoration grade or cosmetic condition.

How is the owner's rental rate determined?

A dynamic pricing model produces a daily rate from the vehicle's market value, rarity, age, and current production demand. An industry expert reviews and confirms the rate before the listing goes live.

Weekly bookings invoice for the 3 or 4 "working days" the vehicle is on set, not the full week. This is industry standard for picture cars.

Run-of-show bookings cover the entire production. The weekly rate scales across the schedule, return dates remain tentative until wrap, and payouts run weekly or biweekly during the engagement.

What happens if a vehicle is damaged on set?

Per the rental agreement, the production carries commercial insurance covering the vehicle, with policy limits scaled to vehicle value. Damage or loss is reimbursed at fair market value for repair or replacement.

Fair market value is calculated by averaging three repair quotes. Quotes may come from the owner's shop, a Revolution-vetted shop, or a combination.

If a claim is disputed, Revolution mediates between the owner and the production. If the dispute persists, Revolution may, at its discretion, apply its own insurance policy to resolve the matter.

Is the vehicle insured during the engagement?

Yes. Every production carries commercial insurance covering the vehicle for the full engagement, from teamster pickup through return to the owner.

Revolution verifies the certificate before each booking. Bookings do not proceed without a valid certificate with limits matching vehicle value.

Coverage includes collision, theft, vandalism, transport damage, and on-set damage.

Is there a cost for an owner to list a vehicle?

No. There are no registration, listing, monthly, or commission fees. Payouts are not reduced by any platform charge.

Revolution earns from the production-side margin on each confirmed booking. Listings can be paused, removed, or relisted at any time without penalty.
