I have been using Centauro at the Athens airport since several years now and I don't change them! It's the most honest car rental company, with really nice cars and the only ones who care for their customers! What you pay in their website is exactly what you get. No secret charges, no other cars than the ones that you supposed to get. I even subscribed as a gold club member and whenever I go to pick up the car I don't have to wait in the queue. I saw some bad reviews because people think that the insurance that they get from the broker is enough. This is not true! Never get the insurance from the broker. I always get the car fully insured from Centauro and I don't even have to spend time for inspection. So, always get the insurance that Centauro is offering and always rent your car from their website! Also, every time I use Centauro, the shuttle bus is on its time to pick us up. It happened in the past to wait even for 30 minutes, but hey, especially in the high season that is OK. They are trying their best! It doesn't matter if you wait some extra time 🙂 Again, I used several companies in the past, but Centauro is by far the best one! My next trip to Athens is coming Saturday afternoon. I'm sure I'll stay satisfied again. (One last thing, you are not allowed to put the car in a ferry. That's the only negative, but anyways I never do it)

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!

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.

This was my first time using Centauro, and I was quite nervous before the rental since I had read very mixed reviews, some were excellent, while others claimed they had been scammed. If you plan to use Centauro, book directly through their website and not via a third party. Based on what I've read in reviews and forums, it seems most problems come from bookings made through third-party sites. We booked directly through Centauro's website, and everything went smoothly, both during pickup and drop-off. No issues, no surprises, no unexpected fees, and no one tried to upsell us anything. The staff was also very friendly. I can definitely recommend using Centauro, especially if you book through their official site. We had originally booked through a third party, but after doing some research, we cancelled that reservation (got a full refund) and rebooked via Centauro's own website. It was slightly more expensive (around €100 extra for 10 days), but absolutely worth it!

My experience with renting a car from Centauro was other than fantastic. Quick service both during pick up and return. Also very appreciated to find out that they have a small shuttle bus from the airport back and forth with a driver, free of charge to pick and return you to the airport. My first time I'm renting with Centauro and I'm very happy with the overall service. I will definately look for the next car to rent from this company, a great experience!

Liam Naughton

Booked a five seater medium size for a week for €300 (including €50 for zero excess full cover). Car was an Opel Corsa, clean and ran fine. Easy pick up with the Centauro shuttle. It's actually a positive that you take a free shuttle to Centauro because the airport is chaotic and not an ideal place to drive a new rental if you are unfamiliar with the area or with driving on the right. Very straightforward return and shuttle back to the airport.

Cover

What cover is included in the hire price?
Our prices include compulsory insurance for collision & theft with an excess. To waiver the excess and the deposit, you can choose our Smart Cover.
Do I need to leave a deposit when I collect the car? Even if I pay using a credit card?
Yes, you must leave a deposit to cover you for any eventuality. The amount can vary and depends on the car group selected. This amount will be released on return of the vehicle and after checking there are no new damages.

Depending on the method of payment chosen, different conditions apply for the deposit.

If payment is with a credit or debit card: Depending on the car group chosen, you must leave a deposit of between 900€ - 2100€ on your credit card to guarantee the excess to cover for any possible damages. To avoid this deposit you can choose our SMART cover. This deposit on your card will be refunded at the end of your rental if there are no new damages to the vehicle. In case of an accident or damages to the vehicle, you will be charged the maximum amount of the excess. For Portugal, a 100€ deposit will be charged to your debit or credit card to cover possible Via Verde toll charges. We do not accept prepaid cards, American Express, Maestro or Diners Club.

We do accept cash for payment of the car hire along with a credit card (NOT DEBIT) to charge the deposit as a guarantee, except in Italy or Greece where cash is not accepted.

Portugal: you are required to provide proof of a return travel ticket or pay a deposit on your credit card for the excess amount applicable to your vehicle regardless of the package you have chosen for your rental.
