Reviews Centauro Rent a Car

I have been hiring cars from Centauro car hire for probably 20 years. Friendly, reliable and offer a great price

Alan Pratt

I read a few reviews about staff being aggressive regarding taking their insurance and I considered using an alternative hire company. I am very glad I kept with Centauro as the entire experience was excellent. The staff I engaged with were polite and not pushy and I will look to use Centauro on my next trip to Alicante.

Radu Haidet

Spotless experience. Pickup and dropoff took about 2 minutes in total, super friendly staff and clean

Shane O'Doherty

Great price. Can do most of the booking and identification online in advance. They don't force you to take the car at the front door when you're unprepared for driving - the car's in a yard in an adjoining street which gives you plenty of time to orientate yourself to the vehicle. Easy return with a full tank to the same yard. With the quoted price you can't really go wrong!

Constantin Popoiu

Extremely good service. Fast pick-up, they also have an app where you can load your documents. Car was good, price was fair. Drop-off was done in less than 1 min. I will for sure come back. Thank you!

We had an amazing experience with Centauro! I ordered a car with full insurance through their official website and uploaded my driving license and passport via the Centauro app so the pickup would be faster. I arrived in Mallorca at 10 p.m. Their shuttle driver wasn't at the airport when we got to the pickup point, but he arrived within five minutes and drove us to their office to collect the car. They simply handed me the key and asked for a deposit for the fuel, which would be refunded if the fuel level was the same when I returned the car. I got an upgrade, bigger car than I made reservation for. After five days of enjoying driving around Mallorca, I returned the car without any issues. I received my fuel deposit back in my account within two days, and that was it! Don't book through agencies, always go directly through their website, and you'll have the same great experience I did. I definitely recommend Centauro!

I am absolutely satisfied with Centauro! The service is excellent, the cars are great, and the process is quick and smooth. Since I travel a lot and regularly need a rental car at the airport, Centauro has become my go-to choice. Whenever I see that Centauro is available at a location, I only book with them. Important to mention: I always book directly through Centauro and not via third-party providers – this has always worked perfectly for me. Thanks to Salah and Concha from the Ibiza team!

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

Having previously registered my driving licence details etc online with Centauro, pick-up was simple and took less than 5 mins. The car was exactly as booked and clean. I was able to drop off the rental at a different Airport (Madrid) for a fee (some companies don't facilitate this) and again the process was smooth and took less than 5 mins for the check and an email to be sent confirming the refund of my petrol deposit. While their offices/car ports are a shuttle bus ride away from both airports, it was worth the slight inconvenience in my view for the stress-free experience of dealing with them. (NB: I had previously had to change my holiday plans and cancel a booking with Centauro and they repaid the payment in full within 2 days to my account.) I will certainly use them again when renting a car in Spain.

Natalija Stojiljkovic

We rented the car in Malaga and returned it in Seville. The instructions for returning the car were clear and very helpful, which made the process smooth. We were a few minutes late due to a road closure, but the staff was understanding and didn't make a big deal about it, which we really appreciated. Returning the key was quick and straightforward. Overall, everything went perfectly, and we had a great experience. A special thanks to the polite lady working at the desk for her excellent service!

Lisa Donatello

centauro was recommended to me by a friend. Everything went smoothly, from the booking to the pick up. I opted for the premium insurance that made the drop off (in a different city) quick and easy. the staff were competent and friendly, I will definitely contact them again in the future:)

Jan Stanicek

Highly recommended! Everything was so smooth and fast! We had full coverage included, came to pick up our car and 10 mins later were leaving for a road trip. Another big plus is, that they close at 11pm in Malaga center, giving you an option to rent a car for just a day if you are visiting just for few days and want to explore the around towns like Mijas, Marbella or Gibraltar. 100% satisfied customer and will rent with then again in the future.

I would highly recommend Centauro. There staff are the most friendly and helpful that I have ever dealt with. I had an issue with a flat battery (my fault). They organised a replacement car without any fuss or charge. 5 star service all the way.

Zoe Granshaw

Quick, friendly and very efficient. Would definitely recommend.

Sandu Gabriel

I rented a car for our one-week vacation in Madrid. I waited a maximum of 15-20 minutes to pick up the car and sign the paperwork. They didn't have the car I wanted available but they upgraded me. The whole experience was perfect, I received all the necessary information, a fee was asked for a full tank of fuel, which was fully refunded after I returned the car with a full tank of fuel. I had to drop off the car outside of opening hours, they explained how to proceed and everything was fine, the only difference was that the shuttle bus doesn't run outside of opening hours but I took a bolt and everything was fine. Very good experience, I will definitely work with this rental company again.

Andris Rozenbahs

I had an amazing experience with Centauro in Spain. The service was outstanding from start to finish — friendly, efficient, and professional. The car was in great condition and exactly what I needed. All other processes, including payment and insurance, were smooth and hassle-free, just like every time I rent with them. I highly recommend Centauro for anyone looking for a reliable and stress-free car rental experience in Spain and Portugal.

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

Jennifer Wilson

Álvaro Montes

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

Craig Pollitt

We read a lot of negative reviews about Centauro but we were absolutely please with our experience. Great value, nice car, absolutely no problem with fuel refund. We rented for 10 days in Northern Spain and then again in Barcelona for 4 days. We would use them again without question. Thanks Centauro

Chris Vitone

Exceptionally friendly and helpful staff and seamless pickup and drop-off process. got my fuel refund within hours of dropping off the car. far cheaper - and easier - than sixt.

Christina C

Fabulous service and car rental at great value. We were provided with an SUV that was clean and worked perfectly. Fuel is deducted on collection of the vehicle and refunded when returning the car. Highly recommend booking directly on the Centauro website as that gives full car insurance with no excess and a free additional driver. This means we didn't have to bother with checking for damage before and after the rental as it would all be covered. Also free cancellation up to 24h prior. I compared with Booking dot com and it was similar prices but with better service, at least for my rental. We were dropped off at the airport, transfer left immediately and took about 5 mins. What a smooth experience!

Gabriel Foley

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

Marius Capitanu

I've rented cars several times from Centauro in Italy and Spain. I like that they offer cars with full insurance, and every time I received vehicles that were almost new. The last car I rented from them was in Barcelona—a Hyundai Kona with only 800 km on the odometer. The pick-up/drop-off process is very quick (especially if you use the app and upload your documents), and I've never had any issues. They don't block a deposit on your card for the rental car, only the cost of the fuel tank, which they promptly refund if the car is returned with a full tank.

Matthieu 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 :)

peter meagan osullivan

Very efficient company to deal with. Booked through agency and this proved no big deal for counter staff who were understanding and didn't try and sell their own insurance. Car excellent with only 1100kms on it. Thoroughly recommend…..must check for spare next time as there wasn't one or an inflator kit either

We rented a small 5 door car from Centauro after recommendations from someone who has used them 4 times in the past. They provided a fantastic brand new car, with very few miles on it. Check in was easy. They did require a fuel and toll road deposit. Fuel money returned as appropriate, but toll road money was taken off - ideally would like some more guidance on toll roads in Portugal to be able to help us with this but otherwise a good service.

Nehalorn Dsouza

I had a fantastic experience with Centauro Porto. Initially, I was a bit apprehensive after reading some reviews, but Maria reassured us and recommended the zero-excess cover, which turned out to be a great choice. We rented a Nissan Juke automatic for six days at just €110 with zero excess through the Centauro website—an incredibly competitive price. The car was nearly new, with only 8,000 km on the odometer, and it was spotless and in perfect condition. The airport shuttle was prompt, arriving within five minutes. Returning the car was just as seamless—no hassle at all. The only check they performed was to ensure the fuel level matched what it was at pickup. I highly recommend Centauro and their zero-excess cover for anyone concerned about hidden charges. The toll device in the car made passing through toll booths effortless. A huge thanks to Maria for her excellent service!

Andrej Kostic

Everything was perfect! Really great stuff. Pick up and drop off in just a few minutes, really great! We've got even better car than we requested. Car was new and in perfect condition. Credit card and security deposit are not required. You need to pay for the half fuel tank price (63EUR) and if you return it the same level you get it refunded (refund was made in 1 business day). I would recommend that rent a car agency to everyone!

Jes Dia

It's been a good experience! Thank you so much centauro fiumicino rome! Agents are so kind very fast proccess, cars are new! Price is affordable this is our 2nd time to rent in centauro and they never disappoint! Thank you again! Very reccomended!

Alžběta Macourková

I think it was the easiest and smoothest car rental I ever experienced and we travel a lot in and out Europe. The price was unbeatable for full cover insurance, really you do not need to worry about anything. The car was good, shuttle to airport without any problem. Definitely will rent again!

Ahmed Alsharif

Best rental car I've ever rented in. Price very satisfied based on the car types. Pickup car was smoothly and no need for deposit only they charged you 129€ for fuel, once you return the car with full tank then you receive your charge. I have small notice, tires was close to die but not bad. Also they have a bus shuttle to take you from and to airport. I hope it's not the last time for renting with them.

John Thunder

We rented a car from Centauro at Milan Bergamo Airport and had a great experience. The car was spotless, ready to go, and the whole process was smooth from start to finish. What really stood out was the no-deposit option – super handy and took a lot of pressure off. Someone actually bumped into our car during the trip, and Centauro didn't make a fuss at all. They were professional, didn't question anything, and even refunded our fuel deposit without issues. Highly recommend them if you're looking for reliable, no-hassle car hire in Italy!

Diana Iorga

Great rent a car service, perhaps the best we ever had. The shuttle was right on time and knew we were coming, the reception was waiting for us when we arrived, it took 5 mins to sign the paperwork and the car was ready. Same on return. It's not often you get good service in this industry, this was outstanding. Well done

David Bago

Best rentacar there is, and this is speaking as someone who has experience working at one before. Great service, and Daniele was very helpful and polite. There are no hidden fees and tricks, as is the case with many competitors. Would recommend 5/5

IsiomaRO

Car provided for my one week rental. The car was clean and in excellent condition. The service provided by staff was great. It was easy to locate the office in the airport and fairly smooth to return the car at the airport after rental. I would use Centauro again.

Sena Klapuh

Great experience with the rental company in Sicily. We received detailed instructions where to wait the shuttle bus. It came after 10-15 minutes, drove us to the parking lot where we did the paperwork and took the car. Be aware of the upselling they do, they offer a better car than the one which was reserved, but it's still not too expensive. They take a small deposit for the gas (for us it was cca 42€, which they return if you return half the tank). The car was really great, we had no issues.

Jiri Pich

After reading reviews on several car rentals in Sicily I was afraid of scam companies where you pay extra insurance on pickup etc. Centauro was perfect choice, car was ready, pick up took 5min, returning 2mons. Only deposit for full tank was blocked on card on pick up, which is understandable. Car was in perfect condition (6k km on tacho). Would recommend and will choose Centauro in other destinations as well.

Zoran Nikolić

Great service. Everything was flawless and stuff is verry polite.car we got was brand new. Free Airport shutle is great option 👍

alberto novelli

Booked on their web page. Full insurance. Good service at the airport with a 10 minutes wait for other incoming passengers. Quite quick at the desk. They mostly have Renault group cars. Ours was with lpg fitted and that was a money saving option for our trip. The car was clean with some little scratches from previous customers. We were charged a sum as gasoline deposit, promptly refunded when back. Very quick also when we returned the car. I would rent a car with them again in the future.

Manuel Diego Romero Vásquez

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!

Dimitrator

The guys in the office very polite and helpful.The car new and very clean. I enjoyed a Crete road trip with a nice suv , I hope I can be back some time

Sophie Charpentier

We are very happy with the services offered by Centauro, they made our car rental experience very smooth. We were able to add an extra day to our rental by using their online services, was very good! Also the shuttle service made this so much more pleasant. The gentleman driving us from and to the airport is very nice and professional. Very good experience all together and highly recommended. The car was brand new, hybrid so we saved on fuel expense. It was the perfect car size for us.

What's up!

We got a Citroen C3 brand new for 5 days. Insurance cost €108 which I recomend to buy. No problems at all. They pick up and drop to airport. Only 5 minutes away.

Chris Coupland

Picked me up at airport for short transfer to business. Nearly new car in excellent condition. Great rates.

Lisa Thomas

We rented a car for a week 24 April -1 May. Quick pick up from the airport and very efficient and friendly service at the rental company. We had a lovely car, brand new and immaculate and were very well advised on all aspects of the rental, parking in Rhodes etc. It was easy and quick to return the car and a very quick return to the airport. I would highly recommend this company and would be happy to rent from them again.

Clare Roberston

Staff incredibly helpful. New car and perfect size for the two of us. Fuel efficient, comfortable with lots of leg room. Easy to return Thank you for all your help and hope you have a busy season Kind Regards Clare and Donald Robertson
