Film & TV Car Hire in Chelmsford — Supercars & Prestige Vehicles for Essex Productions
Essex is one of England's most active filming counties, with Chelmsford at its centre providing an expanding cluster of production-ready locations. Hylands House has stood in for the White House exterior in Netflix's The Crown and featured in BBC's Killing Eve, while Shire Hall's Georgian courtroom interiors appeared in ITV's Mr Bates vs The Post Office. Our film and TV fleet — Ferrari 812 GTS, McLaren 720S, Rolls-Royce, Range Rover, and classic prestige vehicles — is available for productions of all scales, from single-day photo calls to multi-week shoots. London Stansted Airport (STN) is 18 miles from Chelmsford, providing easy access for international production crews and equipment.
“"Used LuxuryCarHire.Club for a two-day commercial shoot at Hylands House. The Lamborghini Performante was immaculate, the driver was patient through 40+ takes, and the logistics were handled perfectly."”
, — Production Manager, ChelmsfordFilm & TV Production Fleet — Chelmsford

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 Essex.

Chelmsford Film & TV Locations
Chelmsford and Essex have an outstanding record of hosting major film and television productions across a variety of settings.
The Grade II* listed neo-classical mansion and its 574-acre estate have an exceptional filming record. Hylands doubled as the White House exterior in Netflix's The Crown and featured as Aaron Peel's Italian palazzo in Killing Eve (Series 2). The estate's varied grounds — formal gardens, open parkland, walled garden, and mansion interiors — accommodate a wide range of production requirements. Our vehicles have been positioned on the Hylands approach for automotive and editorial shoots.
The 18th-century Grade I listed Shire Hall on Tindal Square served as the principal filming location for ITV's Mr Bates vs The Post Office (2024), the landmark docudrama about the Post Office Horizon scandal. Its period courtroom interiors, colonnaded facade, and authentic Georgian character make it one of the most versatile legal and civic filming locations in the East of England. Our prestige vehicles provide ideal period-appropriate or modern contrast for exterior shots.
The wider Essex countryside surrounding Chelmsford — from the Chelmer Valley farmland to the Blackwater Estuary coastal belt — provides diverse rural and waterside settings for productions. The county's association with The Only Way Is Essex has brought consistent interest in luxury lifestyle content filmed across the region. Our supercars and prestige vehicles are regularly used for Essex-based automotive content, music videos, and luxury brand campaigns.
