Film & TV Car Hire in Cardiff — South Wales's Premier Production Vehicle Service
Cardiff has become one of the UK's most active film and television production centres, anchored by Wolf Studios Wales, Great Point Studios in Cardiff Bay, and Dragon Studios in nearby Pencoed. BBC Wales has been based in the city for decades — Doctor Who, industry drama and major factual productions regularly shoot across Cardiff's diverse locations. LuxuryCarHire.Club provides Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Bentleys, and Rolls-Royces for productions requiring hero vehicles, background dressing, and action sequences across South Wales. We deliver to stage doors, location scouts, and second units at Cardiff Airport (CWL) for international shoots arriving into the region. Cardiff has no Clean Air Zone, so moving vehicles between city locations and studio lots is unrestricted.
“"Used LuxuryCarHire.Club for a two-day commercial shoot at Fonmon Castle. The Lamborghini Performante was immaculate, the driver was patient through 40+ takes, and the logistics were handled perfectly."”
, — Production Manager, CardiffFilm & TV Production Fleet — Cardiff
640 bhp naturally aspirated V10, aggressive aerodynamic package, and a visual presence that commands the screen. The Performante's angles are genuinely photogenic from every approach — hero car status guaranteed.
Ferrari's hybrid hypercar — 950 bhp, extraordinary proportions, and a story that makes it compelling on screen. One of only ~500 built, the LaFerrari commands immediate attention and production credibility wherever it appears in Cardiff.
800 bhp naturally aspirated V12 convertible — the most powerful open-top Ferrari ever made. A compelling production vehicle for fashion, automotive, and high-end advertising shoots requiring a statement open-top car against Cardiff's landscapes.

We source specific production insurance for each shoot — covering the vehicle as a prop, as a driving feature, and for on-set static use. We never supply vehicles for production on standard hire policies.

Cardiff Film & TV Locations
Cardiff's studio infrastructure and diverse architectural locations make it one of the UK's leading production cities outside London.
Wolf Studios Wales — Cardiff's largest production facility with 255,000 sq ft of stage space — has hosted HBO/BBC's Industry, Disney+/BBC's The War Between The Land And The Sea, and multiple Netflix productions. Great Point Studios in Cardiff Bay adds a further 200,000 sq ft. We deliver vehicles to stage doors and provide on-set standby services for productions requiring hero and stunt vehicles at both facilities.
Cardiff Bay offers production designers a rare combination of Victorian docklands architecture (Mount Stuart Square), modern civic buildings (the Senedd and Wales Millennium Centre), and open waterfront at Roald Dahl Plass. The Bay has been used as a location for period dramas, contemporary thrillers, and architectural establishing shots. Our supercars and prestige vehicles photograph beautifully against both the Victorian warehouses and the contemporary copper facades of the Bay.
Dragon Studios in Pencoed — 20 minutes west of Cardiff via the M4 — is a 100-acre facility that has hosted productions for NBC Universal, Netflix, Disney, and LucasFilm including Willow. St Fagans National Museum of History provides an unparalleled period location — traditional Welsh buildings spanning 500 years of architecture on a single site. We serve both locations with full-production vehicle logistics, including multi-vehicle deliveries for background dressing.
