I don't find any thread about this with the search engine of the forum (but I have some questions about the "effectiveness" of this tool 
), so I hope this one is not a useless duplicate...
Some rental companies are specialized in vehicles for movies, and the webpages dedicated to these vehicles make the identification easier. In practice, the only (important) things to keep in mind is that exact model name is not automatically given and that the model year is sometimes somewhat fancy, so both informations may need some extra checking. But at least it gives a strong indication about the vehicle make and type.
Knowing the film / TV-Series location clearly helps to limit the scope of research. Companies located in:
• California: Picture Car Warehouse, a company which is a friend of the IMCDb;
• California: Cinema Vehicles Service;
• California, specialized in European vehicles: Eurofilm Cars / Michael Harper-Smith Collection (could it be the supplier of Patrick Jane's DS?);
• New York: Picture Car East (without any relationship with the first company);
• New Jersey: Movie Time Cars;
• Canada: 911 Film Cars.
(Some of these sites were found in comments of IMCDb pages. Thanks to the concerned contributors)
"Working" mostly on North-American movies and TV-Series, I only know these sites for now, but there are certainly equivalents for the other parts of the world? Even Canada must have several companies of that kind?
