Not a rental car

You get the moment. We handle the car.

Most classic car rentals hand you the keys and a liability waiver. CHARLOT works the other way. A professional chauffeur drives every mile, so you can stand up in the back seat on Las Vegas Boulevard, film the whole thing, and never think about parking.

Seven decades of Wildcat

Born a concept car. Built for the boulevard.

The Wildcat name started on a fiberglass Motorama show car designed under Harley Earl in 1953. Twelve years later it was Buick's big performance convertible, riding the Electra's 126-inch wheelbase with a V8 named for its torque. CHARLOT is one of those cars.
