Why rent locally instead of shipping your gear

Flying equipment into France means an ATA carnet, customs at both ends, excess baggage fees and zero backup if something fails on day two. Renting in Paris removes all of it: no carnet, no customs paperwork, and a replacement unit is one phone call and one van ride away. Your local rental spend may also count toward France's Tax Rebate for International Productions (TRIP) — up to 30% back on eligible French expenses (40% for VFX-intensive projects), administered by the CNC.

Good to know before shooting in France

Power

France runs on 230V / 50Hz with CEE plugs. All our lighting and distribution is native — one less adapter chain to fail.

Wireless frequencies

Our HF audio and video links are set to legally usable French UHF bands and checked before every rental. No surprises from the regulator.

The TRIP rebate

Foreign productions spending 250k€+ in France can claim up to 30% back on eligible local costs — including equipment rental — via the CNC. Ask your line producer, it is real money.

No carnet needed

Everything you rent from us lives in France: nothing to declare, nothing to re-export, nothing stuck in customs the morning of your shoot.

Frequently asked questions

Do you speak English?

Yes — quotes, contracts, phone and on-set support. Call +33 1 87 66 24 84 and say hello.

Can you invoice a non-French production company?

Yes, we do it every week for UK, US and EU entities. The applicable VAT treatment is confirmed directly on your quote.

Do you deliver to set?

Yes — free delivery and pickup anywhere in Paris and the inner suburbs, from 7am, scheduled on your call time. Further out in Île-de-France and across France: quoted at reasonable rates.

Do I need an ATA carnet for rented equipment?

No. The carnet covers gear you bring into the country. Renting locally means no customs paperwork at all — that is precisely the point.

Can you provide English-speaking crew?

Yes: camera assistants, gaffers and sound operators who know our inventory, booked on the same quote as the equipment.
