Kia Soul 2016

A Kia Soul in the city?? That’s the American Dream, and it’s in your grasp. Our group was in a rush to leave and thankfully found this car parked by our host right outside our door in the West Village. Parking is very limited, and this car was there 3 hours before our rental started. Our host was very communicative and quick to respond, further he was very kind and thoughtful. Tons of space in this too, we brought home a 5’ long box with 3 passengers. Will rent again from the host!

Renting from Ezquiel was excellent! He was really flexible on the pick up and drop off and made our whole experience relaxed and seamless. The car was in great condition and clean- with good gas mileage. Ideal for anyone renting from NYC who wants to get out of town. Can’t wait to rent from him again.

Kia Sorento 2019

Communication with Henry and his team was excellent. They made pick-up and drop-off at Newark Airport extremely convenient and easy. The car had a few scratches and dings, which I photographed before beginning my trip, but nothing major. It’s not a new car, so it didn’t work with my newer phone charger, but the Bluetooth worked and the car drove well, so it wasn’t a big deal. My only minor complaint is that it smelled a bit like stale air freshener, but that wasn’t a dealbreaker for me, and I would happily rent from Henry again next time I land at Newark Airport. Thanks, Henry!
