Production Vehicles

Here is how this works in practice. We source and set up production car packages. Gear trucks, wardrobe and makeup trailers, cast motorhomes, honey wagons and support cars. From local fleet providers, matching car types and quantities to a production's scale. Access defines car logistics in Croatia: the walled Old City of Dubrovnik is largely pedestrian, with narrow streets and gates that no production truck can pass, so we plan base-camp positions outside the walls and stage hand-carry and small-car routes for the final way.

Here is the short of it. Shoots on the Adriatic islands depend on ferry scheduling. This our team books into the movement plan alongside parking permits and positioning. Because Croatia is in the EU single market. The Schengen area, extra cars and pro units move freely by road from neighbouring Italy, Slovenia. Austria and Hungary when a production outgrows the local fleet, with no carnet or border friction for that EU transport.

Here is the breakdown. Our team handles parking permits and sets up with Croatian authorities for street positioning, base camps and movement between locations, working with skilled local drivers who know the road network and the constraints of historic city centres. Weather and terrain factor into fleet planning: the strong bura wind can close exposed coastal roads and bridges and disrupt island ferries, while hot Mediterranean summers and the mountainous interior shape routing and scheduling.

Here is what that looks like on the ground. Non-EU shoots importing speciality cars clear ATA Carnets through Croatian customs, mostly via the road network or Zagreb as the entry point. Car hire from Croatian providers counts as qualifying spend under the 'Filming in Croatia' incentive administered by HAVC, the Croatian Audiovisual Centre. A 25 percent cash rebates on eligible Croatian spend, rising to 30 percent in less-developed regions.
