CONVOY
Convoy is a rental house founded by a gaffer and producer with other gaffers and producers in mind. Opening our doors in 2020, we wanted to inject Austin with a new rental experience that prioritized quality and customer service. We’ve had the frustrating search for a shop open on weekends. Finding reliable vehicles tailor made for production. Specialty equipment with respectable prices. Everyday needs that productions are constantly facing without an all-in-one solution. What started with a few personal trailers being towed to set has now turned into a fleet of nearly a dozen custom built production vehicles filled with top of the line grip, lighting and production equipment. A true all in one solution that all productions in Austin can rely on. We hope that when working with Convoy you have your best rental experience to date and share more ways we can continue to serve you.
