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!

A most excellent experience with Harjasan and his wonderful Kia Soul!

Kia Soul 2018

The host greeted me, and my friends and I trust them to take care of things. My SUV had an issue, so they swapped my car right away. He apologized, but I told him not to worry since I understood and it was cool. No big deal. I ended up with a Kia Soul Plus, which was awesome and fit perfectly. It had some small dirty spots, but I'll take care of cleaning it super well and making it spotless. Plus, I'll give the tires and wheels a fresh spray and shine. He said, "Wow, you're the best ever!"
