Kia Soul or Similar
I ordered a Kia Soul or similar for a week, I'm just wondering do these models come with satnav and USB ports? I plan to do a bit of sight seeing and photoing, so it would be great if the car had built in satnav and USB ports, otherwise I am going to have to get some battery banks!
Cheers

Its a pretty good bet to assume that most if not all rentals have a USB port to charge now.
Navigation system - highly doubt it unless you rent a luxury vehicle. You're going to be getting a base model whatever in that small size which isn't going to have anything fancy.

If you're worried about no USB ports in some rental car, you don't need to get battery banks, you just need to get a "cigarette lighter" to USB port adapter. The "cigarette lighter" connector (for 12VDC power) seem standard on all cars (even old cars from independent rental places that rent old cars). Gosh, you can even get "cigarette lighter" to 120V indoor-type power converters too. Not all cars include the cigarette lighter itself any more, but the connector still always seems to be there somewhere, because it's used for so many powered car accessories (including compressors to inflate your tires!).
