I'm talking about commercial TV or film. That's the going rate. Production assistants will try and get you to work for free, that's their job. My job, in a previous life was to tell them to fuck off! Most extras are signed up to agencies, nowadays, providing a prop = expensive.
I know Doug Pinkerton quite well, he day hires vintage bikes to film and TV production. This 'prop' hire is about £600 a day, and Doug insists he is on set as mechanic for 'health and safety'. Of course on location accondation ect is covered by a further per diem payment. Smart move ;) It's a good business if you have a decent stable of period bicycles.
