"Rented a car for 7 days. We also got an upgrade on the car without extra fee. The car was clean and no damage on it. The instructions were clear and we didnt have any problem with anything basically. On return, they already started the process to refund of the fuel. Positive experience, highly recommended ☺️"
"Second time using Centauro for my car rental. Very pleased with their service and also got a free upgrade on my booking in December due to low season. George at the desk was very helpful too! Just mind that their store is not located within the airport in case you are in a rush. Definitely would recommend and use Centauro again!"
"I cannot recommend this office highly enough. The staff were absolutely lovely and a joy to deal with. I notice that some reviews mention a 'hard sell' attitude to insurance. Well from personal experience I can only say that they are right to mention that a much higher level of insurance than the basic package is recommended. (DAMHIK)! Remember that it's not only your driving skills/experience but the actions of other road users to take into account. So thank you to the Chania staff for everything. I will definitely hire again from you on my next visit to Crete."
"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!"
