McLaren 720S picture car hire for film and photography Production-ready · Fully insured
Why book us

One car, looked after to a standard most production rentals can't match.

Production hire companies have fleets. Fleets are great when you need a 1972 Ford Cortina at three hours' notice — and not great when you need a hero car that arrives looking exactly the way the brief described it.

Our 720S is owned, driven and maintained by one person. It's never wrapped in someone else's vinyl, never thrashed by a stag party the night before, and never delivered with a stone chip on the bonnet that the rental company "didn't notice." It arrives detailed, photographed in advance for continuity, and ready for camera.

Production crews who've worked with us before tend to come back. The car looks the way the location scout promised, the owner-driver understands set etiquette, and we don't bill for a fuel top-up at the end of the day.

What we shoot for

The work we do.

Music videos

From UK rap and drill productions through to indie and country videos. The 720S is one of the most-requested supercars in the UK music scene — and the grey/yellow combination photographs better than the obvious orange and red cars everyone else uses.

Commercials & advertising

Watch brands, fashion labels, premium drinks, financial services, lifestyle products. If your brand needs to imply success and motion, the 720S does both in a single frame. Available with or without driver on screen.

Editorial & magazine

Regional and national lifestyle magazines, automotive titles, men's style press. We can supply high-resolution location reference shots in advance to help the editor or art director plan the spread.

Fashion & lookbooks

Menswear and womenswear lookbooks, AW campaigns, accessory and watch brands. The car is a strong supporting cast member without competing with the wardrobe.

Television production

Drama and lifestyle television, both as a featured vehicle and as background dressing for high-end interiors. We hold production-grade insurance and can supply rate cards and risk assessments on request.

Stills photography

Solo automotive photography, portrait sessions, product launches, dealership and brand content. Half-day and full-day rates available, and we'll happily go where the light is.

Day rates

The technical bits.

Risk assessment

RAMS document supplied for any production booking. We attend tech recces where required and will flag access, surface and clearance issues before shoot day.

Tracking & tow

Continuity photography

High-resolution reference shots of the exterior and interior supplied free with every booking. Useful for storyboarding, location scouting and post-production reference.

On-set conduct

The owner attends every shoot and stays out of the way. We don't direct, we don't comment, we don't try to upsell. We're there to make sure the car looks right and to drive when you ask us to.

Image rights

Standard production booking includes full commercial usage rights for the resulting work. We may ask for stills for our own portfolio with credit, but this is never a contractual requirement.

For producers, directors, photographers

Tight timelines welcome. We've turned around bookings in under 48 hours when we've had the date free.
