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.

I recently rented a car from Centauro Rent a Car in Thessaloniki and I cannot recommend this company highly enough. From start to finish, my experience was absolutely perfect. The pickup process was seamless, efficient, and handled with such professionalism that it immediately set the tone for the entire rental. The customer service team was outstanding — friendly, attentive, and genuinely dedicated to making sure everything was taken care of in the best possible way. The car itself was in excellent condition, spotlessly clean, and a real pleasure to drive. The quality exceeded my expectations, combining both comfort and reliability. Equally important, the value for money was exceptional, making the whole experience feel not only premium but also very fair and worthwhile. The drop-off process was just as smooth as the pickup, handled quickly and with the same level of professionalism and courtesy. It's rare these days to encounter a company that delivers on every level, but Centauro truly did. I am deeply grateful for the service I received and for how easy and enjoyable this rental made my time in Thessaloniki. I left completely satisfied and will without a doubt choose Centauro again in the future. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a trustworthy, customer-focused, and quality 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.

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!

We're using this company's services for the second time, and again there's only its best reviews. We were greeted by a very nice employee who gave her son even a game ball. The transfer driver who greeted us and brought us to the office and then back to the Corfu airport was also very nice and polite. We booked the car with full insurance on their website, without any intermediaries, and we're completely happy with everything for the second time!

Everything very professional. Completely satisfied with the procedures. Two days after the car return we had the petrol refund in our bank account. The cars are delivered nearby the airport, but there is a free shuttle to take us. Also very efficient.

I've got opel corsa in good condition. Pick-up process was pretty quick and staff were extremely helpful and friendly. I asked some recommendations about island and she explained and recommended obviously. I'm sorry for forgetting her name but she was really helpful, thanks for that.

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.

  • What is included in the additional SMART cover?

    For a minimum cost our Smart cover allows you to travel with total peace of mind and with the certain guarantee of no extra costs in case of accident or damage to the car.

    • The collision, theft, fire, did not take place during unauthorized use.
  • Does my insurance from a different company cover my Centauro Rent a Car?

    If you have purchased an annual policy or additional insurance/cover from your credit card or the travel agents/broker where you made your reservation, take into consideration that this insurance/cover is NOT provided directly by Centauro Rent a Car.

    Therefore, you are liable to pay the deposit amount or any excess in case of damage to the vehicle and claim the reimbursement of this amount from the company where you have purchased your insurance/cover from.

  • What is not included by any cover?
