Subaru Ascent 2020

We rented this Subaru Ascent in Tampa and it was absolutely perfect for our family, especially during a busy soccer tournament weekend. The SUV was clean, comfortable, and had plenty of room for all our gear, coolers, and bags. It drove smoothly, handled great, and gave us peace of mind getting to and from the fields. The extra space made a big difference with kids and equipment in tow. Pickup and drop-off were easy, and everything worked exactly as expected. Highly recommend for families or anyone traveling with sports gear — we would definitely book again!
