Reviews Centauro Rent a Car

Lewis Clarke

I decided to rent a car here due to the positive reviews and was not disappointed! I submitted all my paperwork online (passport, driving license etc) so it was a breeze when I arrived. The car was a modern Kia, with carplay and extremely clean. The staff were very helpful when I forgot to add a car seat to the booking! I decided to drop off at the airport for a fee, as it worked out better for me to collect from this location. Drop off was so easy, no issues whatsoever and fuel refunded. Some top tips for people wanting to rent... renting cars at airports always seems hard work - i purposefully chose to rent here instead of the airport as it happened to also work better for me (still returned to airport for a fee). Always go direct through the company, instead of agencies to avoid hidden fees etc. I have used a lot of rental companies with lots of varying issues, but will definitely be using Centauro again thanks to this pleasant rental! :)

I have been a happy customer of Centauro at Alicante Airport for over two years now, and I couldn't be more satisfied with their service. Unlike many other rental companies, Centauro stands out for its transparency—there are no hidden costs, no pressure to upsell, and what you see is truly what you get. Their fleet is consistently updated with new, well-maintained vehicles, ensuring a smooth and comfortable drive every time. As someone who visits Spain regularly, I have tried other rental companies at the airport, but none compare to the straightforward and reliable service Centauro offers. The staff is always friendly, efficient, and professional, making the pick-up and drop-off process a breeze. If you're tired of being pushed into expensive add-ons or dealing with unclear rental terms, I highly recommend Centauro at Alicante Airport. They've earned my loyalty as my go-to car rental service in Spain.

I rented the car on the website, the rental process was simple and well explained. At the reception the staff was very prompt and the waiting time very short, 1-2 minutes. The car was in excellent condition, with few kilometers on board. Similarly, when returning the car, the process took a short time and we were picked up by the shuttle bus to the airport. I will definitely be back for another rental.

Very professional and friendly staff (especially Mr. Juan). New cars. I recommend

Amazing experience. Among the few car rental companies that you can trust, and they don't scam you. Both check-in and return took less than 3 minutes. Car was in great condition, and my fuel deposit was fully returned literally 2 days after returning the car

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)

Yvette Ayroso

We rented a car for 2 days ( Saturday & Sunday ) full coverage unlimited kilometers for only €124 + €121 Full tank gas. They gave us an option if we give back the car full tank they will give us back the money € 121 so we did. We brought the car full tank ( theres a gasoline station 1.5 km away from The garage and they said 3km gas is allowed to use until we reach the garage. We recieved the Gas money in 4 days. We used the car to benidorm on Saturday & Valencia on Sunday it only cost us €50 Petrol. I love the service of Centauro! & all the employess in Alicante branch are very professional, hospitable kind and available!! We will rent again! No hassle good offer!

Can't recommend this company highly enough. Hired a car from Faro taking out the premium no excess insurance. On the second day of hire we were unfortunately involved in an accident on the motorway. Centauro's response was above and beyond anything we expected. The car was un-drivable and after a call to their assistance number the fantastic people at the Centauro call centre arranged for the car to be recovered and also sent a taxi to our location on the motorway to take us the 20+ miles back to our hotel. They also then arranged for a taxi to collect us from our hotel the following day to take us to Seville (as that was actually nearer to our hotel than Faro) to collect a new car. The lady who dealt with us in Seville was waiting for our arrival and was absolutely brilliant. We completed the rest of our holiday dropping off the car back in Faro. The accident could have completely ruined our holiday but all the guys at Centauro went above and beyond to prevent that and I can't thank them enough.

Mauritz Bollies

As easy as it gets. Took the basic insurance, had some minor damage and got my fuel deposit back the same day without hesitation. Friendly staff & very easy and quick handover to and from the car. Recommendation alert!

Yoav Yeger

I've used Centauro Car Hire at Malaga Airport several times, and each experience has been excellent. I've even recommended them to friends and family, and they've had great experiences too! Their cars are always new, well-maintained, and in perfect condition, which is a huge plus. The return policy is absolutely fantastic and makes the whole process so much easier. The staff are always friendly and welcoming, adding a nice personal touch to the service. They also offer convenient transportation from the airport to their location, which makes the whole experience smooth and stress-free. Highly recommend Centauro for a reliable and pleasant car rental experience!

Jannine Lunney

We would definitely use Centauro again. We booked on line which saved loads of time when picking up the car. We had a Linksand Co suv which was amazing to drive and very economical being a hybrid. The office, very close to the station was very easy to find. The staff were excellent and very friendly with no hard sell for extras. Very competitive prices and I would say very good value. Thanks to everyone at Centauro.

Brian Walsh

What a super friendly and professional organisation. Picked up from the Airport in a branded yellow bus and droped to my waiting car at the office - no delays. Car was perfect. No navigating out of the airport as we were straight onto the mororway. Fuel deposit refunded on the same day - no funny tricks that some other car companies try. Highly reccomended.

Rick 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.

Miu Sebastian

Everything went very well. The bus came in 5 minutes and the entire rental process in 5 minutes. The car was new and very well equipped.

David Castro

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.

sharone fajardo

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

Garreth Nunn

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

Lourdes Mera Sanchez-Rubio

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!

Mark Vasey

Very helpful, clear and fast. Would recommend!!

Ali

Very professional staff. Highly recommended.

Jennifer Wilson

Perfect a great place to hire a car. Good prices excellent attention

Álvaro Montes

Muy accesible el parking, es sencillo el sistema Smartkey para recoger y devolver el vehículo. Vehículos en muy buen estado y nuevos

Mags Nik

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.

Sergey Rufanov

The pick up was fast, the employee was nice and described all the details. There was free upgrade of the car to more expensive option, which was new and a pleasure to drive. Even though we returned the car slightly after the office was closed, there were no problems with that as it's possible just to put keys in a box at parking. Overall, very positive experience.

Maru Garre

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!!!

Mal J

Easy check in Very friendly and received a lot of advice that helped us on our itinerary Car park is a bit tight but close to petrol for end of hire refill Highly recommended

Rennie Debattista

Rented a car for 5 days and got picked up from the airport with their shuttle bus, only waited about 20 mins. Collecting the car at the office was very efficient and were soon on our way. Very good quality car, just like new. Dropping off the car was also easy and again taking us back to the airport on their bus.

Lucia Šebestová

I had a great experience with Centauro. We had come 2 hours earlier and we could not wait. The staff were friendly and gave us car immediately. Returning the car was very quickly too and after few days, we received the fuel deposit back. I highly recommended.

Ibrahim Avcı

My experience with Centauro was seamless from start to finish. The staff was really helpful, making the entire process easy and stress-free. For those looking to simplify things even further, I recommend opting for the premium service—it's well worth the small additional cost. The only deposit required was for fuel and road tolls, and I received it back within 11 days, which was perfectly reasonable. The car itself was brand new and in excellent condition. Overall, I highly recommend Centauro for a hassle-free rental experience.

Simon Field

As I pre-booked the vehicle a couple of months in advance, I obtained a very good price, and I was served straightaway when I arrived at the office, as I had been asked to provide my flight time, so they had my details ready. The only advice I would give was that we used the Waze app to find the drop off location at the end of the rental, and it sent us to an incorrect location a few miles away! Google maps on the other hand, found the correct location first time.

Denise Thomas

We had a very good experience with Centauro. It was easy to check-in and we were in our vehicle in just a few minutes. The car was clean and comfortable. We did not have any problems at all with the car for the 9 days we rented it. Upon returning the car, we checked and double checked we had everything. It was explained to me that my gas deposit will be returned immediately (we returned it with a full tank) and I would be notified of any toll refund or charges in the next few day. Very easy and professional. I would definitely recommend them, and will use them again.

Hehe

Super happy with everything! We rented a car from their website with full coverage and only had to give a 100€ deposit for the gas which we got back at the end. Everything went super smooth. We booked a fiat 500 but got a new ford focus instead.

Jenny Murphy

Love this car hire company. The cars are competitively priced and the full insurance package is a bonus, leaving you with nothing to worry about. You can upload all your documents before you arrive so the wait time is less. The car hire place itself is about 10 mins away but the shuttle bus runs every 15 mins. The cars are mostly brand new are in great condition. The staff are very helpful and friendly. I would highly recommend.

Денис Стоянов

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!

pēteris rozentāls

Best experience in car rental I had so far. Just if you start from booking - there are no price without insurance and other things which are not usually included in the base price. You just have option to pick a car and the price you see is all inclusive price. Pick up was very quick and easy - 10 minutes for shuttle bus and 2 minutes in the office for receiving a car. The same when returning.

Liudas Baronas

Good service, recommend having an account on their website and booking online 👌🏻 The shuttle bus takes you straight from P1EST area where lots of other car rental companies buses stop. Easy to find.

Janina Sirola

We got Wolksvagen T-Cross from Centauro Pisa Airport. Car worked perfectly. Picking up and returning went really smoothly. We had full coverage to cover all accidents so we had a stress free holiday. I am really satisfied and will use their services in the future!

Wojciech

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!

SuperLiconic

It's my 3rd time with Centauro ( first in Olbia) and always good experience. I'm choosing this rental over the cheapest ones reccomended by car rental brokers to avoid bad surprises. Thank you again Centauro. BTW I'm still at the airport and my deposit is already back into my account.

Danijel Rod

We had absolutely no problem with centauro rent a car service. Shuttle bus had arrived 10 minutes after our arrival at the airport. I recommend to go with premium ensurance instead leaving 1100 euros deposit. It will be easier for you to drive knowing you are safe from any possible damage on your car especially if this is your first time on Sicily. Also, fuel deposit was back on my bank account just next day I left the car. Would recommend this company every time.

Daniel

Great experience! Friendly staff, perfect communication, new car (14k km), great prices, no additional taxes or something else on arrival for pick up. Full on full tank policy, full insurance. If you go to Sicily and rent a car, choose Centauro.

Elias Edengrand

We flew to Bologna to attend a wedding, others in our party arrived earlier and had opted for car rental companies located at the airport. Luckily I had read reviews of Centauro beforehand and choose to rent from them instead. The rest of our party was delayed over 3 hours because the other companies tried to sell them additional insurances, tried to give them worse cars than the ones they had booked and had very poor child seats, all of which costed them several hundred extra euros because they were forced to purchase additional insurance costing €45 a day. For us, Centauro called upon our arrival and gave directions where they were waiting with their free transfer bus that picked us up, drove us to their office and supplied us instantly with a fresh new car for basically no money at all. A fuel deposit was the only thing that had to be paid for which was later refunded. Full insurance included in the price and no hidden fees. Excellent child seats with many different options. Nice and friendly staff. I told the others in our party about Centauro and they were all jealous and regretted not renting from them instead, as not only did we get best price but we got the best car too. Returning the car was simple and the fuel deposit was refunded instantly and then their shuttle bus took us, for free, to the airport. When travelling to Bologna, don't look for the comfort of choosing a rental car company located at the airport, choose Centauro. It's a five minute drive from the airport but you save hours and money when renting a car.

Albert Bugneriu

Great service my first time in greece i will 100% recomand them and for sure i will use them for future hollydays car was driving perfect .. the staff was verry pollite .. no delays .. no problems at all good job guys !

Ljubica D

We had a great experience here. Got the exact car we rented. Check in and check out was easy and fast and we caught the shuttle bus back to the airport on time and without issue. The personnel were kind and courteous. Would rent from here again.

Lucy Clarke

We had a really good experience at Centauro in Crete- the lady who picked us up was so chatty and bubbly and was already waiting for us at the airport to take us to the office. As young drivers we were a bit anxious about the driving in Crete but the guy at reception was really reassuring. We opted for the full insurance just in case- and even after doing this we were still in and out of the office in about 5 minutes. We had no complaints about the car, and our experience was similar on return.

Imi Gaspar

Very good experience with this rental company from start to finish. Nice and kind people, both Rebecca and Bobby were very helpful. I recommend uploading the driving license and passport upfront on their website and you will be out in less than 10 min

Bogdan Paul

1st of all read their requirements & what to have on you on Centauro owned site. (if you're renting via a 3rd party app) A shuttle took us from airport to the Centauro Placement (also at the end of the stay we got transported back to airport as well) where we got the car as payed for but not before aligning on the insurance (where we got some options to pick on) & the safety money reserved in case we don't give the car back as we received it with full tank (which makes sense). As an overall experience with Centauro is great and totally going to search for them 1st if we will rent a car in future. They are professional and doing their job as they should. Car was an Opel Corsa newer models, looking great and feels really great. In short as long as you take care of the car you rented basically they are taking care of you 😅💪😎 all deducted money/sums are returned safely to you, this depending of your bank it may take a day/s.

andreas-ilias alexakis

excellent car rental service! no waiting time to pick me up from the airport, the car was super clean and brand new (hybrid with minimal consumption), the staff in Santorini was super friendly and professionals. highly recommended!

Angel Stalev

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.

Livia

The service was fantastic and the staff very helpful! The car I rented was great and almost brand-new. I would highly recommend Centauro at Kefalonia Airport.
