Everything from the beginning till the end of the rental was absolutely fine and in a good price in comparison to other companies. The pick up and the end of the rental took approximately 5 minutes in total. It was quick and easy and the cars in offer are nearly brand new and fantastic to drive. Would recommend it to anyone looking for a car rental!

Smooth experience. Just know that they have a fuel policy: in addition to the deposit they will lock additional money according to the fuel level the car is provided with. As long as you return it with the same fuel level they will fully refund the sum at the drop off.

Second time I booked with Centauro. Perfect and quick service at pickup and return. Friendly staff. Good cars with the option of full coverage for a good price. Booked direct at their website. The location is not direct at the airport but the free shuttle picks you up in front of the terminal and brings you in less than 5 minutes to the location.

One of the best experiences with car rental. The staff was very friendly and helpful, for a low price I got a premium service with the full coverage and zero excess. Everything was very clear and transparent, no hidden fees or ambiguous conditions. Despite settled away from the Chania airport, you can reach it easily with the shuttle service provided for free.

Pickup and drop-off was very efficient and without any trouble. Staff was very friendly and welcoming. Car was a Citroen C3 in very good and clean condition.

Excellent service at Santorini's airport. The delivery and return of the car was really fast. We got an upgrade, the car was brand new and very clean. Olga was very polite and helpful! I suggest the premium service, which includes zero excess, 2nd driver and priority on delivery.

Love this company. Use 6/7 times a year. Speed and efficiency is great. Transport to and from airport is super quick - 2 mins. Cars are always good quality too.

We were visiting for the first time and was unsure what to expect. We was greated with the friendliest welcome and found everything to be very organised, the car was pretty much new, clean and tidy, and larger then we thought lol. The only thing that was not stated on website was you pay for fuel when you hire, which you get back unless you want to take the car back empty. The man in the office who greated us was so helpful and friendly. Couldn't fault the service in anyway!!! Will defo be using these as our regular car hire company when abroad. Turn around time for fuel deposit was very quick to! Very happy customers!

Our prices include compulsory insurance for collision & theft with an excess. To waiver the excess and the deposit, you can choose our Smart Cover.
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.
