🏎️ Talent & Client Transport

💡 The Agency “Concierge” Tip:

“If you are booking an Airbnb for your crew, always verify ‘Quiet Hours’ with the host. Many beach-community rentals have strict noise ordinances that can lead to fines if your crew is loading out equipment at 5:00 AM. When you work with San Diego Model Management, we can recommend specific ‘Film-Friendly’ hosts who understand the 24/7 nature of production.”
