The service was excellent! The car pick-up and drop-off process was very simple and hassle-free. The fuel deposit was refunded to my account the same day. They also have a great selection of new cars. Highly recommended!

Centauro is super reliable and the quality of the cars are great. We had a really positive experience with Juan in Valencia Airport. He will go above and beyond to help you and is always very patient with any queries. Would 100% recommend this as a subscription service. And shoutout to Juan again, thank you!!

My experience with Centauro was excellent from start to finish. The pickup and return process was smooth and efficient. The staff were very courteous and made everything easy for us. Overall, a very positive and comfortable rental experience !!

First, we booked the car in category F4A (intermediate SUV) directly from the Centauro website one month in advance. The price was EUR 406 including the premium package for 8 days rental and was a discount of EUR 54 over the normal price. Why do I give a price? If you start looking for a car in Mallorca, you get many prices for the same car and platforms or travel agents sometimes charge more. Second, we scanned all our details (passport driver's license) in the Centauro ID which you can create online. This eventually speeds up the process when you're collecting your car. Another thing is that it's very difficult to miss the location where the shuttle is located. Walking towards the parking garage you see all the shuttles buses from the rental agencies on your right, just before the entrance of the parking lot. Our shuttle bus was parked nearby and is easy to spot given the yellow colour. We were lucky and could hop on the bus as the driver waited. After a few minutes (and when the bus was full) he drove us to the Centauro parking lot next to the airport (and conveniently next to the Repsol petrol station). We went into the office and were fortunate to have only one person before us. The staff speak English (at least the employee we had) but as we speak Spanish we switched to Spanish. As we already scanned our documents, the employee quickly checked the passport and driver's license and asked for the deposit for fuel. If you read the conditions before , you know they're going to ask for this deposit (thus why some people get excited over this, I don't understand). The employee quickly provided us the keys and the place where the car was located. You book a car category, thus the car you get doesn't need to be the same as the car advertised. In our case, the Skoda Karoq turned out to be an Opel Garland. However both are in the same vehicle class (F4A, intermediate SUV Automatic). The car was spotless from the outside and also the interior was completely clean. We did notice some small scratches on the car but filmed and made photographs of everything. Moreover, the car was indeed completely full of gas and on we went. As we needed to pick someone else up from the airport we went to the, by the Centauro employee recommended place. We didn't have any issues with the car thus didn't need to contact Centauro during our stay. They provide a small leaflet with the most important traffic rules and I would recommend reading it as there are cameras checking for speed on the island and one can easily park in a place where it is not allowed. After our holiday we drove to the Centauro parking lot. Just before you're there, there is a petrol station where you can fill the car up till it's full. We did this and drove to the Centauro parking lot. After we parked the car, a Centauro employee looked quickly and told us almost immediately that everything was OK and that we could head for the shuttle bus, which was waiting. The whole process took only a few minutes before we were in the shuttle but to the airport. In short, we had a very pleasant experience with Centauro in Mallorca and would recommend them. Moreover, I would recommend booking with them directly and take the premium option as without you need to post a bigger deposit. Personally the few extra Euro was worth the hassle. Moreover, if you take premium, you get one additional driver for free (something which costs a lot at some other car rental agencies). Also check if rates have changed as it seems that rates can be much lower if they have an offer (and I noticed that these offers also change regularly)

I am absolutely satisfied with Centauro! The service is excellent, the cars are great, and the process is quick and smooth. Since I travel a lot and regularly need a rental car at the airport, Centauro has become my go-to choice. Whenever I see that Centauro is available at a location, I only book with them. Important to mention: I always book directly through Centauro and not via third-party providers – this has always worked perfectly for me. Thanks to Salah and Concha from the Ibiza team!

I had an excellent experience with this car rental service. Despite a significant flight delay, it posed no problem, and the process for returning the deposit was smooth and effortless. I highly recommend this rental service and will definitely use their services again in the future if the need arises.

We rented the car in Malaga and returned it in Seville. The instructions for returning the car were clear and very helpful, which made the process smooth. We were a few minutes late due to a road closure, but the staff was understanding and didn't make a big deal about it, which we really appreciated. Returning the key was quick and straightforward. Overall, everything went perfectly, and we had a great experience. A special thanks to the polite lady working at the desk for her excellent service!

Got a car from them for 4 days. The whole thing went as smooth as possible. Very easy and fast to get the car. The agent was super helpful in explaining everything and there were no hidden fees except the gas fee which is refundable. The car was practically new (it even had dealer stickers) and super clean. No problems during the hire and super easy and fast return for the car. All in all super recommended for an easy, fast and painless car hire near Malaga with really good prices.

Very pleased with the services provided. All the staff were friendly and provided the requested information. Very good quality-price ratio.I rented a Ford Puma for only 120 euros for two days - from Tuesday morning to Wednesday evening. 120 euros were deducted from my account for full gas, which were returned to me after 2 days. I recommend this company!

Transfer bus from airport to collection point, and transfer bus from drop off point to airport, takes only minutes and staff are excellent and very helpful. The staff in the office are excellent. We went for the premium package and highly recommend it for peace of mind - no hidden extras!

Extremely positive experience. Great car, friendly, helpful (English-speaking) staff. Everything was terrific. Recommend them!

My experience with Centauro is one of smoothness, lack of bad surprises, friendliness, good cars, good prices, and professionalism. That said, the Madrid airport office feels a bit improvised, and I recommend customers to speak Spanish to make things a lot easier, and to be proactive communicators towards the staff. They've all been helpful and friendly, don't be shy to grab someone to get things done.

I had a great experience with Centauro. I needed a car for a day trip and I completed the whole process from the phone and in 5-10m, from the account registering to the full confirmation. I also signed up in a matter of minutes to Fastkey by providing digitally my ID and that was the best decision ever. When I went to pick up the car directly to the parking lot I realized how much time I saved after I glanced at a big queue in the offices. I also returned the car in the same way and only invested 5m returning the keys. Overall a really great experience and I will definitely repeat.

The best car rental ever -- in all aspects! I'm so happy with it that I will never consider other car rentals ever!

My insurance gives me a substitute car if my car needs to go into the garage and last week I needed to use that service. The first time I have ever used Centauro and the experience was great. Attended by an extremely nice gentleman in reception, who explained everything perfectly. The car was perfect and extremely clean and it was brand new. Brought it back and it was the same. Great service, everything clearly explained and no problems at all. Recommend them highly

I have been delighted with the attention and with the rented car! According to what I needed! I recommend it! It has been through the Mutual!

Muy accesible el parking, es sencillo el sistema Smartkey para recoger y devolver el vehículo. Vehículos en muy buen estado y nuevos
(5 / 5) 18/08/2024 11:01Matheus Gomes
Surprisingly I had a very good experience with them (I don't like renting cars, they frequently try to scam you). I rented through their website, which apparently only allows you to get the full insurance (no other option appeared to me). But the price was good and the reviews as well, so I booked a car. Flawless renting, from beginning to end. I had no problem at all, impeccable service, both at pickup and drop off. The gas deposit was returned fast, and the car I got was clean and working fine. In other words, a very easy and nice experience. If I ever need another car in Bilbao, I'll get through them. Highly recommended. PS.: the gas station very very close to them has the cheapest fuel in the whole city. A bonus point for that!
(5 / 5) 17/04/2025 14:34ginger
Renting a car with Centauro is pretty straight forward.You either pay for the full insurance(highly recommended) or leave a deposit of 1,400 euros.From my experience with them,trouble and stress free,I will always support Centauro.The cars are in excellent condition and the most pleasant staff I have ever encountered in a rental car company.They have a new fleet of amazing cars to chose from and the prices are unbeatable. I am amazed at some of the negative comments posted here as my experience is the total opposite.There is good and bad in every car hire company but nothing compared to the excellent service I got with Centauro.
(5 / 5) 29/03/2025 15:45PAVEL PENCHEV
We are very happy with the service and the car we used in Santiago de Compostela. Everything was fast, punctual, and efficient. The young man (unfortunately, I didn't catch his name) who picked us up with the shuttle was right on time, and everything went so smoothly and quickly that we didn't even notice how fast it all happened—no queues, no hassle. We will definitely be customers of this company again. Everyone was very kind and truly professional.
(5 / 5) 24/03/2025 15:44Gabriel Foley
The staff were very helpful and efficient and I look forward to going to Centauro again because of the good friendly and helpful staff

Centauro in Barcelona airport is amazing. Nothing is ever a problem, they are super helpful. The cars drive great and are well maintained and looked after. You pay more than other places, but you won't have any hidden fees or cheeky tactics. The staff are always amazing and very helpful even with my lack of Spanish. They speak great English & always take good care of me.
(5 / 5) 04/02/2025 11:36Matthieu B
Good service, all perfect! I really like the fact that insurance is fully included in the price: no doubt, no surprises. As well, cancellation is for free up to 24h before the pick-up date. Overall, I always rent with them as soon as they have an agency around :)
(5 / 5) 27/01/2025 06:25peter meagan osullivan
Very efficient company to deal with. Booked through agency and this proved no big deal for counter staff who were understanding and didn't try and sell their own insurance. Car excellent with only 1100kms on it. Thoroughly recommend…..must check for spare next time as there wasn't one or an inflator kit either
(4 / 5) 18/04/2025 07:26Dilyan Botev
Working in the same business so it's easy for me to say that Centauro is a great company. Easy to book online and easy to find, full insurance is cheap, car is new and very cheap to run and I did over 1500 km in Portugal in 5 days!!!. No complaints and no issues whatsoever. The shuttle service was efficient and fast! The staff was lovely and friendly! Thank you centauro, Nuno and Ricardo and I will use you again in Portugal and all around Europe!

I had a fantastic experience with Centauro Porto. Initially, I was a bit apprehensive after reading some reviews, but Maria reassured us and recommended the zero-excess cover, which turned out to be a great choice. We rented a Nissan Juke automatic for six days at just €110 with zero excess through the Centauro website—an incredibly competitive price. The car was nearly new, with only 8,000 km on the odometer, and it was spotless and in perfect condition. The airport shuttle was prompt, arriving within five minutes. Returning the car was just as seamless—no hassle at all. The only check they performed was to ensure the fuel level matched what it was at pickup. I highly recommend Centauro and their zero-excess cover for anyone concerned about hidden charges. The toll device in the car made passing through toll booths effortless. A huge thanks to Maria for her excellent service!
(5 / 5) 19/04/2025 09:03Andrej Kostic
Everything was perfect! Really great stuff. Pick up and drop off in just a few minutes, really great! We've got even better car than we requested. Car was new and in perfect condition. Credit card and security deposit are not required. You need to pay for the half fuel tank price (63EUR) and if you return it the same level you get it refunded (refund was made in 1 business day). I would recommend that rent a car agency to everyone!
(5 / 5) 09/04/2025 20:06Nila Steblovska
The car was booked in advance on the website. We arrived at Fiumicino Airport. Within 15-20 minutes a minibus (shuttle) arrived, picked us up and took us to the location. The documents were processed quickly, a second driver was added for free. The amount for a full tank was blocked and we went on a five-day trip. The car is excellent. When we returned the car, the next day they returned the money for a full tank. Thank you for the service. 👍👍💕

I think it was the easiest and smoothest car rental I ever experienced and we travel a lot in and out Europe. The price was unbeatable for full cover insurance, really you do not need to worry about anything. The car was good, shuttle to airport without any problem. Definitely will rent again!
(5 / 5) 25/03/2025 21:10Nick
Professional, Honest, uncomplicated. We rented a Car for 4 days and gave it back a little early. The staff was very understanding and there were no complications. A free transport from the Airport to the rental place and back is included. The fuel-deposit is not immediately refunded but that is no reason for me to lower the rating. Fantastic experience. I can highly recommend
(5 / 5) 20/04/2025 15:07Deyu
Very good and trustworthy service, everything was smooth, from the pick-up at the airport to picking up the car. The instructions provided in the confirmation email were clear and explanatory. The car was really clean and in good condition, and it had CarPlay as well which is very useful when traveling. I liked that there were no hidden fees or other deposits needed other than the fuel deposit of 92 euro that was refunded on my card in one day after drop-off. Would totally recommend Centauro and would totally choose this company next time in Italy.
(5 / 5) 11/04/2025 20:58Peter Christiansen
We have rented a car for the 3rd time from Centauro. Every time we have been met with kindness and hospitality, from arrival at Siena airport, car rental, drop-off and subsequent transport to the airport. The prices are reasonable and the cars are in good condition. We recommend Centauro to anyone who needs to rent a car in Pisa. We have previously rented through the airline compagny. but will rent directly from Centauro in the future.

Car provided for my one week rental. The car was clean and in excellent condition. The service provided by staff was great. It was easy to locate the office in the airport and fairly smooth to return the car at the airport after rental. I would use Centauro again.

Huge thumbs up for both the lady at the front desk, as well as the shuttle driver. Our flights were badly scheduled (arrival at 22:30 and departure at 8:05), but the staff was super approachable and responsive on our pick up and drop off time. They even arrived earlier to work so we wouldn't miss our flight. 👏
(5 / 5) 13/04/2025 14:22Felix
We took and gave the car back to the same employee (young man in his thirties). He was super kind and made our day. The car was brand new (12km driven only) and check-in / check-out super easy. The employee and the comfort package are the reasons we drove happy through the though streets of Sicily! We will definitely book again with centauro and the premium package. No hidden costs or headache.

I am extremely happy with the service we received at the Bologna Airport office. I had booked a class B vehicle due to lack of availability for a bigger car and I asked if there was a chance for an upgrade once we arrived on site. The staff were super nice and really helpful with big smiles, they gave us an opportunity to upgrade for a small fee and offered us a choice between a couple of bigger models even though technically they weren't available for booking. The car we chose was perfect as it had enough room for 3 suitcases and party of 5 people. I am really thankful!

10/10 At first when I arrived late night, the stuff received me with a huge smile and made me feel really comfortable. Manos was the guy that attended me made the process smooth, polite, explaining me all the necessary. In addition the car that they gave me was in excellent condition! What else could I ask?… You must be very proud of the fantastic and professional stuff that you have in your office. I wish all the car rental experiences were as marvellous as this one! Congratulations for such a professional and excellent stuff! I mean they are AWESOME! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! And obviously 1000% recommended this office! || elGriegoNET

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!

All about the service was very good. The car was new, clean; staff was kind and helpful. We did the reservation via Centauro web site. This helped a lot to avoid unnecessary details and misunderstandings which we had experienced before with other companies. Recommended.

This was the best experience with car rental ever! The car we've got was completely new. Transfer from the airport was very fast and convenient. The check in and check out was faster than getting takeaway coffee, but the most important was the kindness we had experienced from Harris and his Manager. Our flight was cancelled and they helped us managed everything. Highly recommend!

Thanks a lots for all the staff,they are really professional guys! We rent a small car and they give as a better ,new one,next level,with only 7 km on board...amazing! Next time for sure we 'll choose them as well ! Thank you,Centauro's guys!

Great experience with this car rental company! We rented a car at the beginning of the season (beginning of April) and received a brand new vehicle in perfect condition and spotlessly clean. Everything went smoothly – quick process, excellent communication, and very friendly staff. Returning the car was hassle-free with no issues at all. I would definitely recommend them and would be happy to rent from them again.

The service was fantastic and the staff very helpful! The car I rented was great and almost brand-new. I would highly recommend Centauro at Kefalonia Airport.
