Hire by occasion

Golf buggy hire for film production

Electric buggy hire for film and TV production, location shoots, studios, retail parks and garden centres. Delivered and collected across the UK.

Productions hire buggies to move crew, cast and equipment around locations and studio lots, and retail sites hire them to move stock and staff across large trading areas and car parks.

Production hire is driven by the clock. A crew that loses twenty minutes walking back to unit base for a lens has lost twenty minutes of daylight, and daylight is the one thing a schedule cannot buy more of.

Retail is a quieter version of the same problem. Garden centres, retail parks and large showrooms move stock and staff across distances that were designed for customers to drive, not for staff to walk twelve times a day.

Media and retail we cover

Each of these has its own page, with the practical detail that matters for that setting and the vehicles that suit it.

Production and retail considerations

  • Silence on set

    Electric matters because a combustion engine within earshot of a live take is a retake. Buggies still make some noise, so agree holding positions with the sound department rather than assuming.

  • Location moves

    Productions move. If you are shooting across several locations, tell us at booking and we will plan the collection and redelivery rather than treating each as a new hire.

  • Load, not just seats

    Camera, grip and lighting departments move heavy awkward cases. A utility bed with proper securing is the difference between transport and a spillage.

  • Trading hours

    Retail sites usually want deliveries and buggy movement outside trading hours. Tell us your windows and we will work to them.

  • Short notice

    Production dates move at short notice. We would rather you told us early and adjusted than booked late. Availability is the constraint, not willingness.

Which buggy suits this

Utility buggies carry department kit and passenger buggies move crew and cast. Most productions end up wanting both rather than one doing two jobs badly.

Common questions

Are the buggies quiet enough to use on a live set
They are electric, so there is no engine noise, but they are not silent. Motor and tyre noise is audible close up. Agree holding and routing with the sound department and it is not a problem.
Can you move the hire between locations
Yes. Tell us the schedule at booking and the moves are planned and priced as part of one hire rather than as separate deliveries, which is both simpler and cheaper.
Can we hire at short notice
Sometimes, and it depends entirely on availability rather than on willingness. Ask, and we will tell you honestly what we can do for your dates.
