Everything went smoothly from start to finish, and I genuinely have no complaints.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had a great week renting Blake's Kia Soul! Blake communicated with us throughout the entire trip and made everything as smooth as possible. When we arrived, he was running about an hour behind due to unforeseen circumstances, but he kept us updated the whole time. He even called to make sure the car was delivered directly to us, so it really wasn't a big inconvenience. The Kia Soul was exactly what we needed for getting around Houston. It was compact yet surprisingly spacious—we easily fit two extra-large suitcases, two small travel cases, and four backpacks with no problem. The car was very clean, ran perfectly all week, and we especially appreciated the phone holder, which made using GPS so much easier. Returning the car was quick and easy as well. Blake was a fantastic host, and we wouldn't hesitate to rent from him again. Highly recommended!

Kia Soul 2025

Has bluetooth/mobile Hotspot connection for android, a/c works really well. It is also small for downtown driving. The only thing I would suggest is an air freshener or deep cleaning the seats because it smelled a little musty/mildew like something was wet and did not dry properly. I would still rent again as it was noy bad, just noticeable. Good car for the price and easy pickup/drop off instructions.
