Film & TV Production Fleet — Rochdale
The most cinematic vehicles in Greater Manchester — built for screen impact.
Lamborghini Huracán Performante
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.
LaFerrari
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 Greater Manchester.
Ferrari 812 GTS
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 Greater Manchester's landscapes.

Why Productions Choose Us in Greater Manchester
Experience, reliability, and the vehicles that make scenes.
Production-Experienced Drivers
Our drivers understand production environments: call times, safety briefings, camera car positioning, and the patience required for takes. They work with your crew, not around them.
Production Insurance Arranged
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.
Greater Manchester Locations Knowledge
We know Crimble Hall, Hollingworth Lake, Nostell Priory, the Rochdale Pioneers Museum, and the city's most photogenic streets. We can advise on location suitability for specific vehicles and assist with pre-shoot recces.
Film & TV Car Hire Pricing — Rochdale
Film and TV car hire in Rochdale is priced on a per-production basis, depending on the vehicle, duration of use, location requirements, and insurance needs. Day rates for production use start from £1,200/day for a Lamborghini Huracán Performante and from £2,500/day for LaFerrari. Multi-day rates are available for extended productions. All production hire includes a standby driver, basic location logistics, and production-specific insurance quotation. Contact us with your brief — shooting dates, vehicle requirements, location, and intended usage — and we will respond with a tailored proposal within 24 hours.
Rochdale Film & TV Locations
Rochdale's Victorian industrial heritage, Gothic civic architecture, and dramatic Pennine backdrops have made it a sought-after location for period dramas, gritty thrillers, and contemporary productions — all within easy reach of Manchester's media production hub at MediaCityUK.
Rochdale Town Hall & Civic Quarter
Rochdale Town Hall's extraordinary Gothic Revival exterior — ornate stonework, clock tower, and grand ceremonial entrance — has featured in television productions as a stand-in for Victorian civic grandeur. The surrounding civic quarter, including Grade II listed municipal buildings and the Touchstones Arts Centre, provides an instantly recognisable period backdrop for Edwardian or early-20th-century dramas. Our Ferrari 812 GTS or Lamborghini Huracán Performante delivers a striking contrast against the pale sandstone.
Rochdale Canal & Industrial Heritage
The Rochdale Canal — one of England's most spectacular trans-Pennine waterways — runs through the town centre with restored towpaths, Victorian lock-keeper's cottages, and original mill buildings along the Roch Valley. The canal basin area is popular with location scouts seeking authentic industrial heritage settings. A Rolls-Royce or Bentley parked against the stone canal architecture creates an immediate visual tension between old industry and contemporary luxury.
Healey Dell & Pennine Moorland
Healey Dell Nature Reserve, 2 miles northwest of Rochdale, contains a dramatic Victorian railway viaduct spanning a wooded gorge — a visually arresting location for action sequences, chase scenes, or atmospheric establishing shots. Beyond the Dell, Rooley Moor Road and the open Pennine plateau provide cinematic wide-angle landscapes equally suited to high-end car commercials and feature film location work, with no urban interruptions for miles in any direction.
