FAQ

Complete the Official Cinema Cars vehicle registration form and provide accurate information about your vehicle, including its make, model, year, color, condition, modifications and other requested details.

Current photographs should accurately represent the vehicle so productions can properly evaluate it for potential use.

Vehicle registration with Official Cinema Cars is currently free unless otherwise stated for a specific service, program or optional feature.

OCC may accept a wide variety of vehicles, including everyday cars, classics, exotics, luxury vehicles, JDM vehicles, muscle cars, customs, modified vehicles, trucks, SUVs, motorcycles and specialty vehicles.

Productions often need ordinary vehicles just as much as rare or exotic vehicles, so a vehicle does not need to be expensive or highly modified to be useful for production.

Vehicle selection is based on the specific creative, visual, technical, scheduling and logistical requirements of each production.

Yes. Owners may register multiple eligible vehicles. Each vehicle should have its own accurate registration information and photographs.

Owners should notify OCC when material information about a registered vehicle changes.

Compensation varies significantly depending on the vehicle, project, duration, intended use, vehicle value, rarity, transportation requirements and other production factors.

OCC may facilitate communication and negotiation between the production and vehicle owner.

Make sure OCC has accurate information regarding the vehicle's modifications and value.

Exotic, collector, custom, modified and other high-value vehicles may require additional insurance documentation, valuation information or special handling requirements.

A vehicle may be owner-delivered, professionally transported, towed or transported using another approved method.

Not always. Whether an owner or vehicle attendant remains with the vehicle depends on the production and the agreed booking terms.

For specialty, exotic, custom or high-value vehicles, owner attendance may sometimes be appropriate or required.

Production schedules can vary significantly and may involve long working days.

Expected call time, anticipated wrap time, overtime, overnight possession and multi-day use should be discussed as part of the booking whenever applicable.

Material changes in vehicle use should be communicated before the changed activity occurs.

You may request clarification or additional approval before allowing use that differs materially from the original booking.

Production schedules can change or be cancelled. Applicable cancellation fees or reimbursement of committed expenses will depend on the specific booking terms.

Contact OCC immediately if you or your vehicle become unavailable after accepting an opportunity.

Early notice gives OCC and the production the best opportunity to locate an alternative vehicle if necessary.
