The Crossing - S3-E18

Other mistake: When it shows Keri's license it says it expires in 2003, but the episode takes place way after that year, considering Katrina had already happened.

The Inspiration - S9-E1

Continuity mistake: The unidentified subject is cutting a piece of flesh with a fork and a knife. The first shot shows him holding the fork with his left hand. His elbow is up, index finger straight, resting on the back near the head of the fork, the other four fingers wrapped around the handle. Next shot shows him elbow down, holding the fork with all his fingers wrapped around the handle.

Children of the Dark - S3-E4

Factual error: In the scene where the two unsubs are in the restaurant choosing the next victim, the family they are watching is a Hispanic family that breaks from speaking English for two lines to speak in Spanish. The father asks where the daughter is going, and she answers, "A lavar mis manos," which means to wash my hands. This is incorrect. In Spanish, you would say this as "A lavarme las manos."

The Fox - S1-E7

Continuity mistake: Before the BAU catches the serial killer Carl Arnold, they used a heat sensor and it shows five people sitting at a table. They said there were three adults and two kids, but when they break in the house, the mother and one kid were sitting at the table, the father was tied up nearby, and Carl Arnold and the other child were in the basement. They were found by Derek Morgan right before Carl Arnold threw the child at Gideon, who fortunately caught him.

100 - S5-E9

Plot hole: In the scene where The Reaper/George Foyet calls Haley from Marshall Kassmeyer's home he identifies himself as Victor Collins from the Marshall Service. Later in the episode Hotch calls Haley and tells her he needs Jack working the case. Jack comes to the phone and asks him "Is George a bad guy?" Until Hotch called Haley she didn't know Foyet was not a US Marshall named Victor Collins.

Suggested correction: He didn't say George.

The Forever People - S10-E11

Continuity mistake: At the start of the episode, when the first victim is found, she is unidentified. However, before Garcia finds out the victim's name is Sarah Rhodes, we already see a label with the name Sarah Rhodes written on it. (00:07:03)

Middle Man - S6-E7

Continuity mistake: When Reid and Prentiss are questioning Melissa Claire Egan in the club, one shot has her leaning back in the chair, but in the next, she's leaning forward.

Devil's Night - S6-E6

Character mistake: Dr. Reid is describing the origins of Halloween and makes reference to Samhain, which he pronounces incorrectly as "Sam Hain." Rather, it is pronounced "sow-wen" (Irish) or "sah-vin" (Scottish). Dr. Reid, as a genius, should both know this and be more exact in the pronunciation. (00:03:05)

Charm and Harm - S1-E20

Continuity mistake: At the start, JJ puts a file down on the desk, and her left hand is in front of her, and she has 2 items in her right hand. When the camera angle changes to behind JJ, her left hand is now on her hip. (00:02:20)

Protection - S10-E22

Continuity mistake: When JJ picks up Lizette Castro in her car to take her to her son, JJ gets Lizette to confess about the man in the pictures. We see JJ stop the car outside In the Dark by some trees before a flashback plays. After the flashback, it looks like the car is in some sort of parking house. (00:14:16 - 00:15:16)

Limelight - S3-E13

David Rossi: When I interviewed Bundy, he had a theory about pornography. He said "If you want to stop people from becoming like me, don't burn Catcher in the Rye."
Aaron Hotchner: "Burn Hustler." I read your books, too, Dave.

About Face - S3-E6

Trivia: The scene where Rossi is bird hunting was done to show how different the character was going to be from Gideon, who was a noted bird lover.

Show generally

Question: The crew takes a private jet to most locations but always have the same black S.U.V.s. How do the vehicles get there as fast as the crew?

RGW

Chosen answer: Black SUVs are common police, military and dignitary vehicles around the world. It is not too much to assume they could be rented or owned by the police forces in the areas.

Other people have explained it but fore more information, federal cars would most likely be brought to the airport from the nearest agency, so they can drive out to their locations especially in rural situations.

Answer: There is only one BAU (or that's the impression the show gives, in reality there's 5 teams within the BAU), and they're based out of Quantico. However, the FBI has 56 field offices, each with their own vehicles leased from the over 200,000 vehicles that make up the Federal motor fleet. There are long term leases to federal agencies on these cars, in addition to there always being vehicles being made available to lease on an ad hoc basis for assignments. Plus, local and state police likely also have their own unmarked fleets, but due to the vehicles being mostly the same make/model/color in most episodes, they'd likely be borrowed from the nearest field office or other local federal office or ad hoc leased from the fleet for the assignment.
