Thinking of registering one of my cars with these guys, or someone similar. I was wondering if anyone one here has any advice/experience?

The car is a slightly modded BMW

I had one of my cars booked with action cars about 10 years ago, for a film scene in a London studio, static shoot no driving fee paid was £250 per day plus expenses, the scene got cancelled about four days before I was due to turn up

how much do they pay if they use your vehicle? Can't see any prices. Just interested.

Do you have to deliver and collect the vehicle each time?

Lending expensive cars out to film-makers did actually become a small part of my job when I worked for Audi a few years ago. Don't think I could ever do it with any if my own cars though, I'd be bricking it whenever they were out.
