The service was excellent! The car pick-up and drop-off process was very simple and hassle-free. The fuel deposit was refunded to my account the same day. They also have a great selection of new cars. Highly recommended!

I picked Centauro based on user reviews and I was not disappointed. The courtesy bus was easy to find and arrived promptly. The check-out was smooth and took no more than five minutes. The car was spotless and almost brand new. No issues during the rental. The check-in was quick and unproblematic, the safety deposit was released promptly. All in all a very positive experience.

Competent Service and Trustworthy. The price on the website is what you get. No additional costs. Better go here and take a taxi to the airport.

Great rental. Fast pick up and even faster return. With full insurance there was nothing to worry about and no deposit. I recommend 100%

First, we booked the car in category F4A (intermediate SUV) directly from the Centauro website one month in advance. The price was EUR 406 including the premium package for 8 days rental and was a discount of EUR 54 over the normal price. Why do I give a price? If you start looking for a car in Mallorca, you get many prices for the same car and platforms or travel agents sometimes charge more. Second, we scanned all our details (passport driver's license) in the Centauro ID which you can create online. This eventually speeds up the process when you're collecting your car. Another thing is that it's very difficult to miss the location where the shuttle is located. Walking towards the parking garage you see all the shuttles buses from the rental agencies on your right, just before the entrance of the parking lot. Our shuttle bus was parked nearby and is easy to spot given the yellow colour. We were lucky and could hop on the bus as the driver waited. After a few minutes (and when the bus was full) he drove us to the Centauro parking lot next to the airport (and conveniently next to the Repsol petrol station). We went into the office and were fortunate to have only one person before us. The staff speak English (at least the employee we had) but as we speak Spanish we switched to Spanish. As we already scanned our documents, the employee quickly checked the passport and driver's license and asked for the deposit for fuel. If you read the conditions before , you know they're going to ask for this deposit (thus why some people get excited over this, I don't understand). The employee quickly provided us the keys and the place where the car was located. You book a car category, thus the car you get doesn't need to be the same as the car advertised. In our case, the Skoda Karoq turned out to be an Opel Garland. However both are in the same vehicle class (F4A, intermediate SUV Automatic). The car was spotless from the outside and also the interior was completely clean. We did notice some small scratches on the car but filmed and made photographs of everything. Moreover, the car was indeed completely full of gas and on we went. As we needed to pick someone else up from the airport we went to the, by the Centauro employee recommended place. We didn't have any issues with the car thus didn't need to contact Centauro during our stay. They provide a small leaflet with the most important traffic rules and I would recommend reading it as there are cameras checking for speed on the island and one can easily park in a place where it is not allowed. After our holiday we drove to the Centauro parking lot. Just before you're there, there is a petrol station where you can fill the car up till it's full. We did this and drove to the Centauro parking lot. After we parked the car, a Centauro employee looked quickly and told us almost immediately that everything was OK and that we could head for the shuttle bus, which was waiting. The whole process took only a few minutes before we were in the shuttle but to the airport. In short, we had a very pleasant experience with Centauro in Mallorca and would recommend them. Moreover, I would recommend booking with them directly and take the premium option as without you need to post a bigger deposit. Personally the few extra Euro was worth the hassle. Moreover, if you take premium, you get one additional driver for free (something which costs a lot at some other car rental agencies). Also check if rates have changed as it seems that rates can be much lower if they have an offer (and I noticed that these offers also change regularly)

I have rented 3 times with Centauro Ibiza and everytime went flawless. I always booked directly via them and took the full cover. Luckily I did because the last time I scraped the side of the car against a concrete pole. Resulting in a lot of cosmetic damage. Because I had the full cover I did not have to pay anything and they were not angry when I brought the damaged car back. Would recommand.

Excellent, no hassle transaction, the car was clean and performed well. The lovely girl at the desk explained everything in a courteous professional manner. 10/10

I had an excellent experience with this car rental service. Despite a significant flight delay, it posed no problem, and the process for returning the deposit was smooth and effortless. I highly recommend this rental service and will definitely use their services again in the future if the need arises.

For once with a rental car company, very good experience ! The price was honest and the quality of the car was good. We had no bad surprise for the return and I got the refund the day after returning the car. The staff was pretty friendly and welcoming I recommend this company

Second time I have used this company. each time they have been great and very competitively priced. The depot is situated about 2/3km from the airport but they operate a very efficient shuttle bus, transfer time was less than 5 minutes. This time pickup at Malaga Airport Depot was dealt with by Estefanie who spoke perfect English and was super professional and friendly. Pickup took less than 5 minutes. The car was as described, and existing damage truthfully recorded. It was in good condition and drove well during our hire. Drop off was handled by Immaculada who again had good English, Drop off was efficient and honest, no tricks about alleged damage which we have had from other budget companies. Drop off and shuttle bus to the airport took less than 15 minutes. Highly recommended company. As with all these businesses you do get a sales pitch about buying in their excess cover, this does give peace of mind if you think you need it, up to you whether you take it.

We got a Kia Exceed. It was nice, mostly new and had all the features. Person on the counter was nice and super helpful. She explained everything we needed to know and even accompanied us to the parking lot during pickup. One thing to note: If you drop off at the airport, you'll be dropping it around 5 minutes away. A shuttle bus that runs every 10 minutes will take you to the airport.

Recently rented a car here for 3 days. Excellent value, easy complimentary transfer both to and from the airport about 5 minutes drive away. The car I originally booked was not available but I was upgraded to an even better vehicle. Friendly and efficient staff also.
(5 / 5) 07/12/2024 09:02Rick Dodds
Great car, staff, price. How often do I have no complaints about a car rental? As an American non-Spanish speaker it was all very easy. No hassles at all.
(5 / 5) 03/11/2024 15:52Kachita Katcha
No issues with booking, renting and returning the car. It was my 2nd booking with Centauro, but first time in Madrid. Friendly staff, good car, few bumps around the body but all marked, I rented the vehicle for 20 days! No problems, I can recommend this company.

I had a great experience with Centauro. I needed a car for a day trip and I completed the whole process from the phone and in 5-10m, from the account registering to the full confirmation. I also signed up in a matter of minutes to Fastkey by providing digitally my ID and that was the best decision ever. When I went to pick up the car directly to the parking lot I realized how much time I saved after I glanced at a big queue in the offices. I also returned the car in the same way and only invested 5m returning the keys. Overall a really great experience and I will definitely repeat.

The best car rental ever -- in all aspects! I'm so happy with it that I will never consider other car rentals ever!

My insurance gives me a substitute car if my car needs to go into the garage and last week I needed to use that service. The first time I have ever used Centauro and the experience was great. Attended by an extremely nice gentleman in reception, who explained everything perfectly. The car was perfect and extremely clean and it was brand new. Brought it back and it was the same. Great service, everything clearly explained and no problems at all. Recommend them highly

I have been delighted with the attention and with the rented car! According to what I needed! I recommend it! It has been through the Mutual!

My best car-rental experience so far. The booking procedure on there website is very simple, had by far the best options to choose from, I did appreciate the possibility to upload all the documents before hand to speed up the procedure. Very friendly staff at the office, very quick. The full coverage insurance was already included in the price, which I find just amazing, absolutely hate this part debating over which insurance to pay. Also no need to turn into sherlock holmes and look for any scratches with my portable microscope. The car was clean, new, in perfect shape, with built-in navigation, only car play didn't unfotunately work. We paid 103€ deposit for the fuel and you are free to return the car with how much fuel you wish, no need to bother refueling if you are in a hurry, the will simply refund you less. We did return in the center of the city and simply parked the car in parking lot and dropped the keys in a box. Absolutely perfect.

The office near the Abado train station was easy to find. The cars are parked nearby, at the Arenal car park (section reserved for Centauro, very well indicated both in the stairs of pedestrian access and for the car access!!). We were offered the exact same car that we reserved (which was a first for me). The process was really fast and easy, and indications were super clear. It is possible to leave the car keys at the car park (often presided in person by a nice lady) or return them at the office, which closes pretty late at 22:00.

Our experience hiring a car could not have been better. Everything was organised quickly and with everything very well explained. The car was spotless and smelled really well. We had no problem whatsoever and the car drove nice and smoothly. The attention was perfect. I can't praise it enough!!!

The staff were very helpful and efficient and I look forward to going to Centauro again because of the good friendly and helpful staff

Centauro in Barcelona airport is amazing. Nothing is ever a problem, they are super helpful. The cars drive great and are well maintained and looked after. You pay more than other places, but you won't have any hidden fees or cheeky tactics. The staff are always amazing and very helpful even with my lack of Spanish. They speak great English & always take good care of me.
(5 / 5) 04/02/2025 11:36Matthieu B
Good service, all perfect! I really like the fact that insurance is fully included in the price: no doubt, no surprises. As well, cancellation is for free up to 24h before the pick-up date. Overall, I always rent with them as soon as they have an agency around :)
(5 / 5) 27/01/2025 06:25Serhii Danylyshyn
Rented a car here due to recommendation from a friend. Everything went really smooth and the car was clean and in a good condition. I was worried about drop off because had early flight and they are open from 7am, but the process took 1 minute, and I'm not exaggerating. They made a few photos of the interior, collected keys and that's it. Suppose it's due to the premium package I opted for plus there was no queue. Other than that, the staff was very friendly, there is shuttle that can take you from and to airport, good fleet, no need to worry about every small detail like a toll transponder (and I highly recommend you having one if you are driving around Portugal - having to stop and manually pay at every toll gate sucks - there are many)
(5 / 5) 21/02/2025 06:43Dilyan Botev
Working in the same business so it's easy for me to say that Centauro is a great company. Easy to book online and easy to find, full insurance is cheap, car is new and very cheap to run and I did over 1500 km in Portugal in 5 days!!!. No complaints and no issues whatsoever. The shuttle service was efficient and fast! The staff was lovely and friendly! Thank you centauro, Nuno and Ricardo and I will use you again in Portugal and all around Europe!

I had an excellent experience with this car rental service! The service was top-notch, and they are very flexible when it comes to picking up the car—you can choose the car that suits you best. Highly recommend!

An excellent experience with Centauro Auto Madeira! The rental car was in perfect condition—clean, well-maintained, and ideal for exploring the beauty of the island. The pick-up and drop-off process was quick and hassle-free, and the staff was very friendly and professional. We enjoyed a comfortable and safe ride throughout our trip. I highly recommend Centauro for a stress-free and high-quality car rental service! We will definitely return!
(5 / 5) 10/03/2025 20:15Daniel Binau
I love Centauro! By far the best car rental agency I have ever used. It's a flawless experience every time, and their staff always goes the extra mile for the customer. I am so happy Centauro exists. I use them every chance I get, and always recommend them to friends. Steer clear of other agencies and just use these guys every time.

Centauro Rent a car we love you! ❤️ Second time rent with you, and the third on December and I can't wait. The best rent a car company in Italy! To rent a car without excess with a small deposit for the fuel it's just 100% perfect. Just to inform the customers ⚠️ if you rent a car directly with the local company you're smart, if you rent a car with a broker so that's not the smartest think that you can do. I understand you you're on holiday, you want to save money from everything, but you're make reservation to the broker and there's a rules and conditions that you need to read. Writing bad comments without understanding anything or being guilty of something and then blaming the company for doing their job properly is a bit dumb. Thank you!
(5 / 5) 29/10/2024 01:01Mira Mattar
It was a great experience. The booking process was smooth, no hidden charges or fees. Their location is outside the terminal but the shuttle service is excellent and it's a couple minutes drive. We got a very clean, new and nice car. When we returned the car it was pretty easy and efficient process too, couple of days later we got our gas deposit back. We highly recommend their services!
(5 / 5) 07/03/2025 11:21Jolanta Kalna
THANK YOU! Everything was great. The instructions for picking up and returning the car were clear and accurate. There were no hidden fees, and the fuel deposit was refunded within two days. We will definitely choose this service again next time!

We have rented a car for the 3rd time from Centauro. Every time we have been met with kindness and hospitality, from arrival at Siena airport, car rental, drop-off and subsequent transport to the airport. The prices are reasonable and the cars are in good condition. We recommend Centauro to anyone who needs to rent a car in Pisa. We have previously rented through the airline compagny. but will rent directly from Centauro in the future.
(5 / 5) 16/03/2025 08:27Wojciech
My first experience with Centauro and I couldn't be more satisfied and pleased with their service. The pick-up and return was fast and easy. No waiting time for the bus at the airport, it was waiting for us instead. The pick up process took less than 10 minutes. The car in a very good conditions and as advertised on the website. The return was also easy and quick. The fuel deposit returned on the following day upon my departure from Sardinia which makes the company very reliable and thrustworthy. The staff was friendly and approachable. Overall I had a great experience with Centauro and would recommend to anyone willing to rent a car in Sardinia. Great job guys! Your are awesome!

I can give a huge vouch for Centauro in Olbia. They were by far the fastest and more efficient car rental company that I used on my entire trip across Europe. The staff was kind and helpful, and they even gave me the benefit of the doubt on a tiny ding that was discovered on the bumper during return. There are a few options for renting in Olbia, but the only choice that I can recommend is Centauro. To the Centauro team, thank you for an amazing experience!

10 stars Buy the insurance. I was side swiped and centaurs covered 100%. Only wish is if they had a prepaid toll option.

10/10 At first when I arrived late night, the stuff received me with a huge smile and made me feel really comfortable. Manos was the guy that attended me made the process smooth, polite, explaining me all the necessary. In addition the car that they gave me was in excellent condition! What else could I ask?… You must be very proud of the fantastic and professional stuff that you have in your office. I wish all the car rental experiences were as marvellous as this one! Congratulations for such a professional and excellent stuff! I mean they are AWESOME! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! And obviously 1000% recommended this office! || elGriegoNET

I had an outstanding experience with Centauro in Thessaloniki! The car was in excellent condition, spotlessly clean, and performed perfectly throughout my rental period. The team at the Centauro office was incredibly kind, professional, and helpful, making the entire process smooth and enjoyable. What impressed me the most was how easy it was to extend my rental through their user-friendly website. Exceptional service all around—I highly recommend Centauro for anyone looking for a hassle-free car rental experience!

'Exceptional service and a fantastic experience! The fleet is made up of well-maintained, new cars, and the team is incredibly responsive and professional. We had an amazing week in Creta, enjoying every ride with our car. A big thank you to everyone involved – we can't wait for our next trip to one of your other destinations! Highly recommended!”

Had an amazing experience renting a car from Centauro in Chania! Harris provided exceptional customer service—friendly, professional, and super helpful throughout the process. The car was in perfect condition, exceptionally clean and smooth. Highly recommend to rent a car from Centauro (directly from their website and not from brokers) and will definitely rent from them again!
(5 / 5) 02/03/2025 12:37Vincent Murphy
Everything was great. I had preloaded my documents and taken premium insurance, so pickup was a breeze. The car was a base model, so didn't have Carplay or Android Auto, and the only issue we had was a tyre that needed pumping...but that was the roads 😊 Drop off was even faster, as someone was waiting outside, took the keys and checked the car. Told me the fuel deposit was being returned and the shuttle was ready. Highly recommend for Corfu car hire

As usual, I made my reservation exactly 0 seconds after I saw a Centauro in Rhodes. And it was the best choice, with excellent price, and wonderful staff, very kind and smily. The shuttle was fast and on time.
