Please find below answers to some of the most common questions you may have as a registered owner of a vehicle on the shooting cars website. You will also find our terms and conditions at the end of the FAQs.
What does Shooting Cars do?
We help connect owners of vehicles with TV, film, photography, advertising and events agencies who are organizing film and photo shoots or events that require vehicles as props.
What will I earn?
The fee is determined by the owner. We request owners to confirm the full day and half day rates.
How much does it cost to register?
Nothing! Registering your vehicles is free of charge.
What sort of vehicles are you looking for?
Any type of vehicle you can think of – classic, vintage and veteran cars, modern family cars, trucks, tractors, camper vans, etc.
What condition do they need to be in?
Although there is demand for heavily modified vehicles, by far the greatest requirement is for cars that are close to how they looked in the year they were manufactured. In fact there is regular demand for vehicles that are rough and rusty. So simply register every vehicle you have. Our clients generally are only interested in the exterior and interior of vehicles. Therefore the mechanical condition of the vehicle is not important. It can have an enormous V8 under the hood or it could be barely driveable, it doesn’t matter.
Who will look after the vehicle when being used?
Hopefully you will! We encourage our owners to accompany their vehicle to set whenever they can. Our owners are often asked to drive the vehicle in shot or even be an extra. If your vehicle is available but you are not, then we have very experienced staff who can collect the vehicle from you and return it at the end of the shoot, however, please note that there is a charge for this service of AED 750 for half day and AED 1,500 for a full day. Please note that we accept no liability should the vehicle be damaged from the time of collection and return. All owners are responsible to have arranged fully comprehensive insurance for their vehicles.
Who is responsible for any damage?
The client is fully responsible for any damage when on set. You will be responsible for delivering the vehicle and returning it.
Who will drive the car on set?
Once again, we hope you will! No one else is allowed to drive your vehicle unless it is agreed in advance.
Can I promote my vehicles through other companies?
You register with us on a non-exclusive basis. Therefore you are free to work through other agencies if you wish. However, you are not to deal directly with a client once we have introduced you.
