Reviews Centauro Rent a Car

GF W

I've used Centauro a few times now, and won't go past them. The staff are very helpful. Competivly priced, especially when their offers are running. All in all a no problem collect and drop off.

This is my 9th booking with Centauro. Always a new car, generally Hyundai or Kia. Quick pickup and return. Book through their website as they have some great discounts. Took the complete insurance package so no messing about looking for damage. Didn't even bother refueling as they only charge €1.25 a litre, so same as fuel stations. Would highly recommend.

This was my first experience with renting a car and the experience was spectacular! I paid for the full cover insurance and first I have been given an MG car which after a few kilometres started to have problem with AC which was leaking the water under my feet. We callled centauro and they told us to come to change the car. We just exchanged the keys and they gave us a bit better car VW. The rest of the trip was amazing, also experience with returning the car was very quick, I just left the keys and the shuffle took me to the airport! After this experience I will be definitely renting a car again through centauro.

Everything went smooth from transfer to/from the airport to renting a car. Staff were really friendly. We got a new Fabia We got a premium option with no deposit and a €90 fuel deposit. We returned the car with a full tank, and the deposit was refunded to my credit card in less than 24 hours. I'll definitely rent with Centauro again 🙂

Very satisfied with Centauro services. I had an upgrade from VW Taigo to Hyundai Kona (with only 5k km on board). I had a small refund for fuel and the day after returning the car it was already transferred. Considering that I also work in the car rental field, I can say that the whole team is very professional considering the volume of work they have to do every day. We will definitely return to Centauro.

We had a great experience with Centauro! I was a bit worried at first since their prices were much better than other car rental companies, but everything went perfectly. We hired an automatic car, which even came with a navigation screen. The car ran smoothly for all three days, and the staff were very helpful and spoke English with no problem. Highly recommend if you're planning to explore different towns and cities!

We rented a car from Centauro for three days, from October 25 to 27, 2025. I made the reservation directly through their official website. I selected the Premium Package, which included full excess coverage, a fuel deposit, an additional driver, and the smart key option, for which I paid €113. I had made the reservation approximately three months in advance. Upon arrival at the airport, we went to the P2 parking area as mentioned in the reviews, and within five minutes the shuttle arrived and took us to the Centauro rental center. Using the smart key system, we simply scanned the QR code and collected the keys without needing to visit the office. After driving 886 kilometers, we returned the car in the same effortless manner without any issues. Many thanks to the Centauro team for their excellent service.

My husband and I visit Sevilla every year to see his family, and we rent a car each time. This time, we experienced the best service I have ever had in Europe, which was unexpected! On the day we were to return the car, something came up that made us late. Our train to Madrid was at 14:56, and we left home at 14:35, which was a rush. My husband suddenly had an idea and called the rental company to explain our situation. We couldn't return the car to the parking lot as usual, so we requested to park it just in front of the train station, which is opposite the rental shop. If we missed our train to Madrid, we would miss all our flight tickets to Asia, which cost a lot of money. Initially, they said we couldn't do this, and if we did, we would have to pay a fine. At that moment, if money could solve the problem, we were happy to pay! If we lost all our flights, we would have to look for new tickets, and we might need to stay a few extra days for the next flight. In the end, we parked the car in front of the train station, opposite their shop, and gave the key to my husband's mom to return to the rental shop. Ana Belen was incredibly helpful; she picked up the car and drove it back to the parking lot, even though she mentioned she wasn't good at driving manual. Since we were in such a rush, we didn't even have time to say goodbye to my husband's mom, who was crying alone at the train station. When she was in the office, she was also crying there, and Ana helped comfort her. We really appreciated everything you did for us. Thank you very much! This is the best service I have ever had in Europe, and Ana is the best!!

Péter Knoll

Very professional and trustable company! I did book a day before arriving to Malaga airport. We had transfered by a shuttle bus just right from the airport entrance. We recieved our car in 10minutes . Full insured pack without deposit ,and credit card.(9 days for 290euro) The car was just the same I have choosen online , plus it was brand new with 10k kilometers in the counter. I paid at the desk a full tank price of gasoline,the policy was if I bring it back full I will get the refund. We had a very pleasant holiday with this car,returned it with a quarter tank and then they send me back the price of it! Highly recommended team!!

Jaroslaw Wojtow

The best choice in Malaga. The staff were exceptionally courteous and accommodating. We had the pleasure of meeting Juan Pérez and Pablo Aragón, who kindly shared excellent recommendations for local entertainment. We look forward to returning and seeing them again.

Rich T

Excellent car and service. I always stress about car rental, Centauro lived up to its promises and the service was first class, treating us with efficiency and friendly. Airport shuttle was quick and efficient. Highly recommended.

I recommend with all confidence. No hidden costs, everything is transparent. The services at the counter were extraordinary, Alexandra being very kind! Such an employee makes the difference between companies. Professional, kind and warm at the same time.

Павел Меликаев

I've rented cars many times before, but this was my first experience with Centauro Rental Cars. What a pleasant surprise! 1. No 5–7 hour waiting lines to pick up the car. 2. Rental prices are very reasonable. 3. The staff were friendly and efficient — I received my car in just about 20–25 minutes. 4. All cars are new, clean, and with very low mileage. 5. Returning the car was just as quick, and I received my deposit back within an hour. 6. Once again, I want to highlight the excellent service — the team in Madrid is polite, professional, and fast. I'm saying this after renting from more than 10 other car rental companies. Highly recommend! 10/10

Juan Córdoba

Excellent Fiat Cinquecento rental experience with attentive and supportive Centauro personnel. We'll definitely rent from them again on our next Madrid vacation.

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!!

Mirza Zeeshan Baig

Álvaro Montes

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

Tomas Marak

All good with my journey. With full Insurance you don't need to worry about things. Car was clean and ready when we arrived. Whole process has been smooth. If you have any questions before you can call customer service. They speak English as well.

Dimitrios Polyzos

I would recommend this service 100%. I booked my car online and the process of getting the car was super fast. The staff was very kind. Special thanks to Patricia for her kind and warm behaviour, super informative and always smily.

Barry Hansen

We rented a car for two days and had a flawless experience: the booking process, the shuttle bus, vehicle pick-up and return, and the quality of the vehicle. Highly recommend!

sean green

Fantastic service. Great car, easy pick up and drop off. The help in the parking garage was fantastic, she's a great representative of your business. See y'all again. Thanks

Yauhen Hvozdz

Found that car rental service accidentally, and used it for the 1st time. The overall service quality is just great! No waiting lines, just arrived and took my key:) as simple as that! Prepaid everything via application of course. The personel is super friendly and nice. The most importantly - there is NO deposit at all!! You've paid one time and that's it! Highly recommend! Saved location for my future travels :)

Karim Bazzi

Quite impressive. I was not aware about Centauro being this good, simply because normally through booking.com there are various limitations. This time I booked directly through the app and used a promo code found online. With the premium cover , I had only to pay a 50€ deposit for the gasoline and the car was fully assured. Got the same car of the booking, everything was efficient and also the drop off was smooth. My only small concern was the huge queue for the pick up, we were able to skip the queue thanks to the fast track/centauro ID obtained by booking a car with the premium cover

rented a car from this company in Lisbon for one week. All the paperwork was completed within 10 minutes. The car was very clean, and the staff, as well as the return service to the airport, were extremely organized and polite. The car inspection at drop-off took no more than 3 minutes. After returning home, I received an email confirming that the deposit for fuel and highway tolls in Portugal would be refunded to my account within a few days. I picked up and returned the car directly at the company's office, and there was a gas station conveniently located only 500 meters away, which made refueling very easy. I can 100% recommend renting a car from this company.

Carmen Stoica

Great experience. I rented a car for the 2nd time in Faro and everything was smooth from pickup to drop-off. Clean new cars with low mileage. Vera and Priscila are very kind and helpful there. Thank you for everything!

Eligio Espinoza

Centauro is an excellent Car rental company—first time using it. Contrary to all the bad reviews I saw online, our experience was A1. I made my reservation online through the Centauro website a month in advance, including the full insurance package. Another plus is that Centauro includes a second driver at no extra cost. The car looked like new, outside and inside. It only had 20.000 km or 12.000 Mi. We picked up in Porto and delivered in Lisbon. They have unlimited mileage. The personnel at both places were very courteous, knowledgeable, and treated us with respect. Picking up took us 10 minutes, and delivering the car not even 7 minutes at the Lisbon location. The best rental company so far out of all the ones I have used in the USA and Europe. They deserve NOT 5 stars BUT 10 stars for everything: price, quality, and excellent service. Thank you so much! Eligio & Marisol

Juliete Martins

It was our first time with Centauro and it was absolutely fantastic!! Car was in perfect conditions, it was super quick to get the car and also to drop it back. No waisting of time. Thank you Centauro for helping us discovering Madeira!

GV - Groupe Virtuel

Pretty simple. Book your car directly on the website. Take on full insurance package. And this will be a worry free, as advertised, experience. Got great service from Emanuele and even got a free upgrade. New vehicle with only a few thousand km on it. Got the car full and returned it full with no issues. There is a petrol station just a few meters from the returning office. The airport shuttle will come. Just be patient its very busy. Not sure how Centauro handled customers in the past but for us, it was great. Just avoid third party insurance coverage to save a few bucks and everything will be awesome.

Danny Cooke

Great experience, minibus waiting for us, 5min drive to collect the car. Staff were friendly and helpful cheap upgrade to a better car. On return dropped us back at the airport. Really easy and great value no queues hassle free. Highly recommend

sapir revivi

Wow! Simple and fast service - they have an app that shortens the car pickup, deposit only on fuel which was returned before i got on to their airport shuttle. (They also pick you up from the airport to the car rental place 5 minutes drive with the shuttle) For a car we rented nissan Qashqai Manuel - we got a new and clean car with about 9800 km on it The car was good clean and powerful and was well maintained, we didn't had a single problem The staff was really kind and helpful We took the full insurance in a very reasonable price (one of the lowest prices we found ) Definitely recommend! Will definitely rent trough them again

Michał Sitkowski

I was sceptical about all the rental companies in Bergamo due to very bad reviews, but my experience with Centauro was perfect. I had Premium package so had all the protection, no need to worry about the scratches, etc. Smooth transport to and from the airport, no huge deposit, no harsh extra insurance upselling. I had to leave only 88 eur deposit for the fuel (debit card was accepted) which was returned in 2 days. Car was in good condition (20k km).

Alexandru Gheorghe

I've booked a car from Centauro and was very satisfied with the service. Rented through the Centauro app with Premium service + infant seat (given at reception). No additional deposit required. I only paid the gas 102eur which was returned in the same drop-off day ( need to rerurn the car with full gas as initially received). Also they have a free shuttle from and to the Pisa airport taking you to the rental center every 10min from 7 to 22. Premium service includes Full-full insurance, no need to worry about scratches

Bojana Trp

This is the second time we used Centauro. Everything was smooth and efficient. I booked the car through the app. We were picked up at Cagliari airport, did not have to wait at all. The staff was friendly and efficient. We were given an upgraded vehicle. The return process was quick, we did not even have to go to the office. There was no deposit for the vehicle, just for fuel, it is automatically repaid if you fill the car up, I have not received the funds yet, but we only returned the car yesterday afternoon. Highly recommanded!

Marc Quinn

We had a great experience with this company. From the pick up crew to the drop off crew it all went so smoothly. We prepaid for fuel refill (€120 and got €44 back) which is much easier than tryong to refill at the airport before dropping back. We paid for the Jeep Renegade size and got a Qashqai which was fine, decent car. It was very well priced and the full insurance came with the additional driver. Strongly recommend this company.

Arcângela Rocha

Our experience was very smooth. The car given to us was better than what we paid for; Collection and return was hassle free, as we paid for full insurance. That's definitely worth it. No credit card needed. They only deducted around €100 deposit for the fuel, which was returned and back in my bank account a day after returning the car. Their office is not inside the airport. There is a shuttle service that takes you there in 5 minutes.

Marek Sedlák

Very good and efficient. Car was clean and almost new - accessories above expectations. On arrival we received all needed information. Highly recommend.

Our flights with delayed over 2 hours and the offices closed at 2300 our flight didn't get in till after midnight so I thought the rental company would be closed. I've could collector the car the next day as our hotel was only 3 to 4 kilometers away . On arrival at Bologna airport we came outside and it must be over a hour queue for a taxi, We were staying nearby in the hotel and we're were going to try walk the 3 kilometres. To my amazing the mini bus from Centauro pulled in front of us they knew our flight was delayed the lady provided excellent service and brought us to the rental company gave us an upgrade and we're on our way excellent service . There is a €40 Euro charge for the late opening. But the taxi would have costs more and we're grateful for this service and the upgrader car at no cost.

Pieter van Barneveld

Always a pleasure renting through Centauro. Have rented with them in many different places and this time Athens. Pick up at the airport was fast, as was getting the car. Not sure why the overall rating is so low, it seems like renting through a third party makes the process more complicated. But I have never had any issues with Centauro and rent directly from their website. Cars are always new and clean. Pick up and return is fast and easy, and Athens has been a good place to rent the car with Centauro. I recommend.

Дарʼя Устименко

Enjoyed the service and new car we've been provided. Very easy booking and paying via website. Big advantage - no need to leave the security amount. Instead we took the smart insurance for full coverage. Very easy and convenient service, very good cars, free shuttle bus to/from airport to the rental point. Highly recommend.

sam joseph

I thank the company Centauro for its professionalism and the cooperation of its team in facilitating the pickup and return of the car, which was very clean and exactly as I expected—unlike the experiences many have had with other companies. I recommend Centauro to anyone looking for transparent dealings and good service.

Adrian Birlog

Great experience once again! This is the second time I've rented from them, and they continue to impress. I received a Nissan Juke — a pleasant upgrade from the Peugeot 208 I had originally booked. The car was excellent, and the staff were professional and trustworthy. The interaction, especially with the young lady who assisted us, was very pleasant. I'll definitely be coming back — both to this company and to Crete!

Marius Ku

Arrived at the airport had Booking with other company but didn't get the car because of the credit card in this company they gave us the car with debit card. We have the best service that we have sorry you have to move here seen. 10/10

Despoina G

I recently rented a car from Centauro in Santorini. I had purchased the full insurance in advance and had a very positive experience. No issues, polite staff, nice clean car.

Adrian Lema

Very good and fast! The guy who is working at Rhodes office is excellent… (don't remember the name, but 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 to him) Rented Car was new less than 2 thousand kms… Airport shuttle needed but you won't wait more than 10/15 min, easy to find. Thanks for everything ✌🏼

Steve Griggs

All so easy. A short walk from the airport terminal. Late arrival 10.30pm. Staff were there to welcome us and were so helpful and explained everything. Recommend on line check in before travel. Made it so easy. We hired a Fiat Panda which for Kefalonian roads was ideal. Very clean but no sat nav. Google maps did the job and very accurate, even off main routes. Drop off was quick and easy. The staff couldn't do enough for you. Excellent service and would use this company again.
