Maine Picture Cars Partners with CopCarRental.com for Authentic Police Vehicles in Film and TV
Bringing Real Police Cars to Maine Productions
Local filmmakers, commercial directors, and television crews working in Maine now have easier access to genuine police cars and emergency vehicles thanks to a new collaboration. Maine Picture Cars has teamed up with CopCarRental.com to connect productions with owners of authentic cop cars, patrol vehicles, and emergency equipment right here in the state.
How the Partnership Works
The arrangement allows productions shooting in Maine to source period-correct or modern police cruisers without shipping vehicles from out of state. Owners of these specialty cars register their vehicles through the national network, making them visible to location managers and production coordinators who need local assets. This setup keeps things efficient for crews while giving vehicle owners more opportunities to put their cars on screen.
Whether a project needs a 1980s-style cruiser for a period piece or a current-model interceptor for a contemporary drama, the combined resources help match the right vehicle to the right script.
Free Listings on the National Database
Police car and emergency vehicle owners can add their rides to the USA Movie Cars database at no cost. Once listed, the vehicles become part of a searchable national resource that location scouts and production teams use when planning shoots. This free option helps owners reach more productions while keeping their cars available for local work in Maine.
Maximizing Maine Film Tax Incentives
Maine offers film tax credits and production incentives designed to support projects that hire local crew, talent, and vendors. Using picture cars sourced through Maine Picture Cars and local actors can help a production meet the requirements for these benefits. When crews choose in-state resources instead of bringing everything from elsewhere, they often qualify for higher credit percentages and keep more of the budget working inside the state economy.
Productions that plan ahead and secure local vehicles and performers early tend to see smoother approval processes for incentive applications.

Why Local Resources Matter for Maine Shoots
Using vehicles and talent from within the state reduces transportation expenses and helps productions stay on schedule. It also supports the growth of Maine’s film infrastructure, making it easier for future projects to find what they need without leaving the region. The partnership between Maine Picture Cars and CopCarRental.com strengthens that local network.
Owners who list their vehicles gain exposure to national productions that might otherwise overlook Maine as a filming location. At the same time, crews benefit from knowing they can find authentic equipment close to their set.
