Reviews in Portugal

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.

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!

I recently returned a rental car with Centauro, and the process was surprisingly quick and stress-free. From the moment I arrived at the drop-off point, everything was well organized and clearly explained, which made the return much easier than I expected. The staff member in charge was professional, friendly, and efficient, guiding me through the final steps without any unnecessary delays. The inspection itself was straightforward and transparent. It only took a few minutes, and I appreciated how clear the staff were about what they were checking. There were no hidden surprises or complicated procedures — just a simple, honest review of the vehicle's condition. Once the check was complete, the paperwork was finalized almost immediately, and I received confirmation that everything was in order. What stood out most was how fast the entire process was. In many rental experiences, returning the car can be the most time-consuming part, but here it felt effortless. The 'quick check-out” truly lived up to its name, allowing me to continue my journey without stress or wasted time. Overall, Centauro Porto made the car return process smooth, reliable, and efficient. I left with a very positive impression and would gladly use their services again.

Perfect service. Fast pick up and return. No bad surprises. Staff very kind and efficient. They also set up a baby seat for my daughter in the van to go back to the airport! One of the best experience I had with car rental - very Recommended!

How to pay

  • What are the different ways I can pay for my car hire?

    1.   Payment by Credit or Debit Card:  payment can be made using a credit/debit card (Visa/Visa Electron or Mastercard) either via our web site or on collection of the vehicle. You need to know that there will be a deposit applicable if you do not choose the Smart cover. The deposit will be refunded to you at the end of the rental if there is no new damage made to the car. For Portugal, a 100€ deposit will be charged to your debit or credit card to cover possible Via Verde toll charges. Debit cards must be nominative. If you have prepaid on the web for your vehicle you must use the same credit/debit (Visa/Visa Electron o Mastercard) when picking up the car. At our Athens & Thessaloniki offices, we only accept payment with a credit card.

    2.   Cash payment: we accept cash for your car hire in Spain and Portugal (Italy and Greece cash is not accepted). In these cases, and as a guarantee, you are required to leave a deposit for the excess applicable to the vehicle given using a credit card (NOT DEBIT).

    We do not accept prepaid cards, American Express, Maestro or Diners Club.

  • Can I pay with my credit card if I am not the person who picks up the car?

    No, the driver must present a valid credit or debit card in their name on collecting the vehicle.
