The crew, the cast, and the equipment are all "one unit" headed to the set.
For TV commercials, concert transfers, and other events, with a private jumbo taxi for 9-10 people. Easy to read the number of vehicles and costs, including early morning pick-ups and late-night drop-offs.
The difficulty of transporting filming and production locations is not only due to the "number of people," but also the "equipment." When actors and staff are 6 to 8 people, plus the camera, lighting, and props cases, it usually becomes necessary to arrange multiple vehicles to separate the people and equipment. As the number of vehicles increases, the variance in the gathering becomes proportionally greater, as well as the hassle of billing. In this article, we will outline the idea of integrating the transportation of media and production locations using the "Charter Jumbo Taxi (up to 9 to 10 people, large luggage compartment)."
Three common losses that occur during location and filming travel
When managing the progress of production, the following losses accumulate as you move around: Do you have any ideas about how to avoid them?
Common losses:(1) Separating the people and equipment into separate vehicles leads to an increase in the number of vehicles required; (2) Since the arrangements are made for early morning departures and late night returns, the available vehicles cannot be used; (3) Arrangements to change the scenting system on the day of the event or to increase the number of cast members cannot keep up with the progress of the event; these issues are directly linked to the delay in progress and the complexity of the settlement process.
Compare the means of transportation
Even when it comes to the same "moving to the site" process, the preferences of the involved parties become clear depending on the means used. I compared this from the perspective of the production site.
| Viewing point | Shared ride with multiple taxis | Drive yourself with a rental car | charter jumbo cab |
|---|---|---|---|
| Transporting people and equipment together | It is easy to get divided | We're all together, but we need someone to drive. | People and equipment are loaded onto a single unit |
| Detention in the early morning, late at night, or for long periods of time | It requires a significant number of units to be arranged. | The driver is detained | Dedicated driver available for immediate service and waiting time is OK |
| Additional trains and changes to the train schedule on the day | Arranged individually each time | Low flexibility | Consultation for multiple units and additional units on the same day |
| Staff burden | Complex collection and settlement procedures | Staff are exhausted from driving | Everyone can have meetings and rest while traveling |
| Accounting processing | The number of receipts is significant | Separate settlement is required | Issuing invoices and receipts in one go |
Of course, on days with fewer people and a smaller number of vehicles, even a single taxi or a rental car will suffice. When the number of people and vehicles increases, and the duration of the engagement is longer, chartering a vehicle becomes more effective.
Why Jumbo Taxis are chosen at the production site
One person, one machine
By arranging the seats, we packed everything together, including cameras, lighting, instruments, and instrument cases. The performers and staff rode along, and without any reloading, they moved on to the next location.
Accommodates tight progression
From early morning meetings before the recording to late-night transfers after the show ends, our dedicated driver handles everything from start to finish, including long-distance travel for local performances. We can also take care of on-site waiting arrangements.
Also, all the additional cars and changes are combined.
Arranging for multiple vehicles and making additional reservations on the day can all be handled through a single point of contact. Even if the shuttle bus is busy, the transfer process can be handled without disrupting the flow of passengers.
Accounting is also clearer
Supports the issuance of invoices and receipts. There is no need to bundle receipt sheets in bulk, and settlement can be unified.
I can be of help in a situation like this.
TV and On-Location Filming
For program recording that involves multiple locations, bring the cast, crew, and equipment on a single vehicle. The time spent traveling between locations can also be used to hold meetings for the next scene inside the car.
CM and photo shoots
Even in a location with a large amount of props, costumes, and filming equipment, they can be loaded together into a large luggage compartment. This reduces the hassle of transferring them back and forth between the studio and outdoor locations.
Concert Tour
For traveling between venues, transporting instruments and equipment, and long-distance transportation for local performances. Even tours where the number of participants is difficult to read can be handled by arranging requests for additional vehicles.
Consultation on fees and procedures
The rates vary depending on the number of units, the distance traveled, the length of time they are held on hold, and whether they are on hold or not. Therefore, a quote is only guaranteed after reviewing the specific requirements of the site. There are plans that do not charge additional fees for certain vehicle types, and those that do not add to the cost at late or early hours of the day. Another advantage is that it is easy to understand the cost even in a situation where progress is difficult to follow.Pricing pageFor quotes and consultations, please contact:web formPlease feel free to contact us with the date, time, number of people, equipment, and locations you would like to visit. We will suggest the number of units and routes based on your requests. If the location (shooting location/venue) or departure point is within the coverage area of Tokyo and Saitama, we can also discuss long-distance transportation for local filming or performances.

summary
Moving between filming locations and media production sites involves a large number of people and equipment, making the process time-consuming and prone to last-minute changes. The uneven distribution of numbers leads to higher costs and delays, which is why charter jumbo taxis that bring people and equipment together and allow for streamlined accounting are a great way to reduce the workload on the site. For next-stop transfers, please contact us to discuss it all in one place.
