Production Vehicles

Here is how this works in practice. We source and set up production car packages from local fleet providers, matching truck types, trailers and support cars to your crew size, gear volume and locations. Our team handles parking plan, movement logistics and permits, configures complete base camps with honey wagons, hair and makeup trailers, star trailers and production offices, and can give process trailers and camera cars for car work. We also arrange pro drivers skilled in handling valuable gear.

Here is the short of it. Malta's production fleet covers standard needs. But for large feature shoots or pro tracking cars we supplement the fleet from Sicily. Plus the Italian mainland, or from the UK, with cars and gear moving carnet-free within the EU and arriving by sea ferry or the Grand Harbour port. The islands' compact geography keeps fleet movement efficient, with most locations 30 to 45 minutes apart.

Here is the breakdown. Operating a car fleet in Malta calls for local knowledge. As a former British colony, the islands drive on the left. This visiting crews and drivers need to account for. Many of the most filmed locations sit in dense historic fabric, the medieval Silent City of Mdina, the baroque streets of Valletta and the Three Cities, where narrow lanes built by the Knights of St John constrain large trucks and make advance parking planning key.

Here is what that looks like on the ground. The Malta Film Commission acts as a one-stop liaison with Transport Malta and local councils for permits and street access. The compact archipelago, around 316 square kilometres across three inhabited islands, means base camp redeployment is quick, and the Gozo Channel ferry links the sister island. The Mediterranean climate, with hot summers and sea salt, makes shaded parking for cast trailers and gear trucks worth planning. English is an official language alongside Maltese, keeping permit forms and driver planning straightforward.
