Why Chicago Van Rentals Are Ideal for Film Production Crew Transportation

28 Mar-2025

Chicago is an active production city, and film crews, commercial shoots, and touring music artists rely on passenger vans to keep a production moving. Here’s why Chicago Van Rentals is a great fit for the job.

Move the whole crew together

A shoot day hops between locations — camera, grip, wardrobe, makeup, and PAs all need to travel together and on time. One van keeps the unit together instead of a scattered convoy.

Comfort for cast and talent

Put principal cast, artists, and their assistants in a luxury Mercedes-Benz Sprinter — the Road Cruiser or Golden Chariot — for a quiet, comfortable ride between the hotel, set, and airport, and the wider crew in a Ford Transit.

Reliability that protects the schedule

A shoot lives and dies by its schedule. Our dealer-maintained, inspected fleet and flexible daily, weekly, and monthly rates keep production days running smoothly, with up to three additional drivers free.

Airport runs and gear

We serve O’Hare and Midway for picking up cast and crew flying in, with room for personal kit and smaller equipment alongside the group.

On location, anywhere — including Canada

When a shoot heads out of town, you can take our vans anywhere across the USA — and, unlike the big chains, into Canada, home to major production hubs like Toronto and Vancouver.

Which van should you pick?

For cast and talent, the 10-passenger Road Cruiser or Golden Chariot; for the crew, the 15-passenger Ford Transit or Sprinter. See the full fleet.
