Premier Picture Cars for Calgary & the Alberta Film Industry
Authentic, screen-ready assets for "Hollywood North." From the rugged badlands to the streets of YYC, we provide the film cars that define your production’s visual identity.
The Mission: At King Picture Cars, we don't just "rent" vehicles; we provide specialized picture cars that act as essential characters on screen. Calgary is now a top-tier global filming destination, and our fleet is curated to meet the exact standards of Art Directors and Transportation Coordinators. Whether you need a weathered "hero" truck for a post-apocalyptic epic or a pristine fleet of background cars for film, we deliver assets that are mechanically sound and aesthetically perfect for 4K.
Production-Ready: We understand the 24/7 nature of Alberta sets.
Locally Rooted: Proudly serving Calgary, High River, Drumheller, and the Rockies.
Cars for Film: From Period Classics to Modern Heroes
Finding the right film cars shouldn't be the hardest part of your shoot. We maintain a diverse stable of vehicles tailored specifically for the lens, ensuring historical accuracy and cinematic presence across every era.
Our specialized inventory includes:
The Hero Fleet: High-impact picture cars, including muscle cars, luxury imports, and rare vintage finds that command the frame.
Period-Correct Accuracy: A deep inventory of everyday cars for film from the 1920s through the early 2000s—perfect for period-specific dramas and "Fargo-style" aesthetics.
Alberta Workhorses: Rugged vintage trucks, SUVs, and specialized utility vehicles built to handle the Alberta elements.
Custom Sourcing: If our Calgary facility doesn't have the exact year, make, or model your script demands, our local network of scouts will find it.
A picture car is any vehicle used on-camera in a film, television show, or commercial. Unlike traditional rentals, our picture cars are chosen for their aesthetic value and era-appropriateness. We provide "Hero Cars" for lead characters and "Background" film cars to fill out scenes with authenticity.
Absolutely. While we are based in Calgary, we specialize in long-distance logistics for the film industry. We provide professional shipping for our picture cars to major hubs like Vancouver, Toronto, and Montreal, as well as remote filming locations. Your vehicle arrives on a dedicated carrier, clean and ready for the first call time.
No. Our fleet is strictly for use as cars for film. To maintain the mechanical integrity and aesthetic condition of these high-value assets, they are intended for on-set use only and are managed by professional handlers.
Our experts have a deep background in automotive history. We help Art Directors "cast" the right film cars for their era, ensuring that a 1980s New York street scene doesn't accidentally feature a 1990s hubcap. Authenticity is our priority.
All productions must provide a Certificate of Insurance (COI) that covers the vehicle for its full replacement value and names King Picture Cars as an additionally insured party. This covers the vehicle during transport and while it is active on your set.
We offer custom sourcing across Canada. If your script requires a specific, rare, or unique vehicle, our national network of collectors and scouts will find the perfect picture car to fit your character brief and budget.
