Kia Forte 2022

I had an excellent experience with this rental. The car was in great condition and performed perfectly throughout the entire trip without any issues (6 days trip). The hosts were very kind, responsive, and quick to answer all of my messages and questions, making the whole process smooth and easy. The only downside was that the car had a strong cigarette smell when I picked it up. I had to buy several air fresheners to reduce the odor, which made a significant difference. Other than that, I would definitely rent this car again.

The car was great and reliable. My only issue is that I think they've used too many different air fresheners or cleaners and it's made a weird combination. I can tell it's supposed to smell good but the multiple scents didn't mix well and it's so strong that you can smell it on your clothes after you get out the car. Someone else may like it so I didn't take off a star, but it was the only thing that bothered me.
