Pros: Efficient
Cons: Time spent queuing at collection
Pros: Not a lot.
Cons: Very low pricing through Discover. Very misleading. Charge for everything. Additional driver, car sear, upgrade, pre charge €120 fuel even if not using that amount and expected to spend 30 mins reading baby seat installation as the staff do not help. In addition seat was dirty. Never again !!
Pros: Prompt service and easy return
Cons: The upgrade I was sold. I did not think the upgrade was better than what I ordered and few issues with it. Will not upgrade again.
Cons: I rent/reserved a Nissan Juke class car. I got a Jeep with major damages. Went back and asked for another car. After a lot discussion got recommanded to upgrade my rental car to a bigger and more comfortable (Hyundai Tucsan) car by just paying 6€ more. I accepted and got keys to a small MB A-class, which was not clean at all. A feeling of intended manipulation to pay more and get less :(

Cons: Pressure to get extra insurance

Pros: New and clean cars, easy to pick up and drop.

Pros: Easy access to cars. Car was very economical and a good size.
Cons: Extortionate/embarrassing prices for two booster seats for kids - 218 euros for 8 days. The seats were not installed in the car, one was broken the other one covered in horrible stains and what I assumed was sick and hadn’t been cleaned. When raised I was given a cover to put over the top. I asked to get help installing them and was told they aren’t allowed. Rude staff who went out of their way to be awkward and obstructive, I have photos of the car seats I was given. Wouldn’t ever use again
Pros: Easy location
Cons: After dropping the cari asked to check the car for fuel and overal condition.After check i been told that's all fine,I have asked for the confirmation via email, however they said they don't do that I had no other choice just to believe and trust.Couple days later after flying home...surprise!they refunded only half of the fuel money, despite me filling full tank before dropping the car.Be careful, ask for confirmation, signature, name of representatives, pictures .Be careful!
Pros: As above
Cons: It could have been made clearer/more obvious at time of booking in terms of some things being cheaper if booked in UK at time of booking ie fully comp insurance. Also, highlight how much easier to fill in documents before arrival on line.
Pros: They were exceptionally help, even when I locked my handbag in the car when handing it back!
Pros: Car good
Cons: I don't like it because on the way back they didn't check the car with me, instead they said we would get an answer later and I didn't have to sign anything

Cons: At arrival, we had to pay €1100 as a deposit which we were not expecting.
Pros: Difficulty contacting when our flight was cancelled, but excellent service when we arrived at Alicante very late at night after nightmare 15 journey, 7.5 hours on a bus!
Pros: Nothing
Cons: Very poor, had no time to check vehicle on return also no paperwork given to me charged 40 euros for late pick up. This was not my fault as my flight was over 2hrs late, so we arrived at just after 23.00hrs. They took I think 40euros for late pick up. As no paperwork given I'm not sure what they have take for a full load of petrol and I returned car with full load of petrol. I think she said 117euros but no paperwork given to me as evidence. This process of return that centaur provide is not acc
Cons: No briefing about the car. Staff dismissed our concerns about paint chips & scuffs not being shown on the documentation. Felt extremely pressured into taking out the waiver insurance even though we thought we had this covered.
Pros: Nice new car, friendly staff and a good price.
Pros: Quick, easy and pleasant staff at desk.
Cons: Made false claims about a dent.
Pros: Helpful and polite
Pros: They woman at the desk simply said she want renting me my car as my UK driving licence which is Valid but paper which was a bit worn as its 30yrs old. I used it only a month earlier at the same airport with a different rental co with no problem. So she was Happy to spoil all our Holliday from the off. I went to the Euro car rental at the next desk who gave me a car in less than 10 min.
Pros: Auto
Cons: Brak blokady depozytu na karcie debit
Pros: A car literally damaged all around. Almost 90,000 on the counter. A boxing bag is a better way to call it.
Cons: They didn't have the category I booked! and blamed the intermediary for misdescribing the car. I was given a compact car instead of medium SUV!!
Cons: De auto zat vol met krassen en deuken.
Pros: speed of service and quality of car.
Cons: aggressive sales tactic to try and make me buy their insurance
Cons: Very pushy sales agent who attempted to fear monger us in to taking insurance with them direct even though we already had bought the full coverage via discovercars.com . We had already said we would rather pay the deposit than the £200 odd for insurance but the agent put the amount in to the card machine for us to pay! When we reiterated that we weren't going to pay that we were told that ahh it's up to you but if there's any damages then they might not pay out to our insurers?? Highly unethical
Pros: Efficient
Cons: Nothing
Pros: Staff were friendly and courteous.
Cons: That I received a car that had some damage to it, nothing major but noticeable enough.
Pros: Quick pick up,
Cons: Charged over £72 for petrol top up, when tank was very close to being full. Thought it was a bit mean. I also payed €380 for fully comprehensive insurance. Will probably not use Centauro again.
Pros: Easy collect and drive once the key package had been provided. Easy, trouble free drop off
Cons: 45 minute wait for administration at the in airport office. Too long after a long trip
Pros: A good car and was clean. Good drop off.
Cons: The pickup process with Centauro was stressful. The agent aggressively pushed additional insurance, despite my existing coverage and preference to leave a deposit. They warned my insurance might not cover repairs, causing anxiety throughout my trip. I wouldn't recommend Centauro due to this unpleasant experience.
Pros: De agent bij het afleveren meneer Moizes was echt vriendelijk en netjes!
Cons: Agent bij de balie niet duidelijk genoeg en hij heeft zijn best gedaan om nog een verzekering aan mij verkopen. Was niet oke.
Pros: It was aesy and fast. They were helpful and kind.
Cons: At the pickup desk they didn't know, that you can use debit card too. They didn't show me the older damages
Pros: Car was great, drop off service super quick.
Cons: Took a little while to get the car at the desk. I gave advanced booking notice of licence and passport details so the keys would be ready. I tried the express lane but was told I had to queue like everyone else, bit confusing. Apart from that, it was a good service.
Pros: Good price. Easy to find at the airport
Cons: Deposit was very high
Pros: Haves used for many years, always fair and easy
Cons: Had a mark on car that wasn't noted with key, tried to report to a representative and they said it would be on the contract in the email, but contract was in Spanish, so couldn't tell if listed.
Pros: Professional and no pressure
Pros: We had no problems, woukd definitely use again.
Cons: Nothing
Cons: i returned the car with a full tank of fuel, i was initially charged €130 deposit for the fuel but was only returned £95 so i dont know what exchange rate they are using !! ☹️
Pros: All of it
Cons: I was unable to usey credit card so had to pay the higher rental charge, but probably my fault for not using the right pin
Pros: Efficient service
Cons: Nothing
Pros: Great queing system and plenty of staff assuring quick pick up
Cons: As withh all other rental companies, always trying to hard sell insurance, even when I already have it!
Cons: You get asked to pay upfront for petrol when you ask for a full/full service….they then do not return the full amount of what you have paid….they are nothing but thieves and bandits….will never use either discover cars or centauro again. Absolutely disgusting and disgraceful corporate behaviour!!!!!
Pros: Lady at counter very professional
Cons: Nothing
Pros: they were honest unlike discovery cars
Pros: Quick service and new cars
Cons: Charged me full insurance without letting me know, when I didn’t request it as I had my own insurance, stealth and underhanded charges by Centauro
Pros: Unproblematic returning
Cons: Aggressive insurance sale. Felt ripped off by paying 80 euros for a tankfull of gas that the earlier renter had filled up before his returning. Effeciently this is a hidden cost. :-(
Pros: Everything apart from the collection of the car which spoiled the whole experience.
Cons: See above
Pros: easy to collect car
Cons: dropping car off, no one to check vehicle for damage
Pros: i didn’t like their attitude very aggressive and demanding extra money
Cons: very aggressive and demanding extra insurance money
Cons: Trying to pressurise you to buy there insurance when already bought the full insurance with discovery cars. No information given on damage already on the car, stated they sent me an email which they did not. Had to walk back to the service desk to ask for a hard copy to compare what they had lieted.
Pros: No queue at desk. Clean fairly new car.
Cons: Nothing.
Pros: Friendly, fast and easy when picking up and delivering the car.
Cons: I did not like that the agent in the rental desk absolutely wanted me to buy insurance when I told him that I already had the insurence that I needed. He was not very friendly, and accused me of queuing, when he was the noe who wouldn`t budge.

Pros: Well handled
Cons: Maintenance light came on after 30 min on the road

Pros: To make sure all damage is recorded, Because if you don’t take pictures. You can get a fine
Cons: Sales men
Pros: Car was as described. Few marks here and there, but they were reported in the contract. I made sure I reported an additional mark on the left wing and they accepted it.
Cons: There's an additional charge for fuel you have to pay in advance even though you intend to return the car with full tank. In my case of the little Fiat 500, it was £89. Not had this with any other hiring company. The charge was refunded when I returned the car with full fuel, although in my case they refunded me £6 less for some reason.
Pros: Quick and efficient pick up and return. The car was very clean and a pleasure to drive.
Cons: Trying to enforce you buy their excess protection insurance which was extortionately priced. Didn't listen when I said I had a policy already and tried to say that it wasn't as good and this is the only way to be properly covered
Pros: good car and good value for money. A few knocks on it (3 in total) but it was well reported on paper.

Pros: Drop off
Cons: Feeling scaremongers into taking extra insurance which I believe I had cover for. Still havent received fuel deposit refund
Pros: Everything went smoothly Staff very helpful and kind.
Pros: It was quick and easy to drop off the car but the collection process was very long winded with lots of cost and lack of understanding from both parties on what was required vs optional
Cons: The booking of the car I was not advised of certain costs which probably would have swayed my decision in booking a car in the first place. I only booked the car as was cheaper than taxi but after all the added costs this did not work out as planned. The car after one day also would not start considering it was brand new. I thought trouble shooting such as shutting the door putting your seatbelt on and making sure all the windows were shut was not really a great trouble shooting process
Pros: Centauro did excellent job and where easy to speak with and explained everything very well
Pros: Location of pickup and drop off is good
Cons: They charged for insurance without telling me. Fraudulent actions by the agent. Car was battered but that was fine. Sadly they have some agents that are deceitful
Pros: Quick and easy pickup at the airport. Quick dropoff. Friendly staff.
Cons: I paid for GPS which was inbuilt into the car anyway
Pros: Easy pick up and drop off
Cons: Made me buy the additional insurance even though I paid extra to discover cars when I booked. I had to pay over £200 extra at the desk
Pros: Efficient drop off.
Cons: We had our flight cancelled and had to have numerous attempts to contact your help and offices. We were left in limbo not knowing if you had received our messages and then charged a late fee. Customer service needs to be improved.
Pros: The guys at the collection point were very friendly
Cons: The girl at the reception desk was not so friendly, she was adamant that I take out the extra insurance. I kept telling I had insurance but she was not listening.
Pros: Drop off efficient and friendly
Cons: Hard sell and fear tactics around insurance.
Pros: It was quick and simple.
Pros: Same as above.
Cons: Nothing really, used many times before.
Pros: Proximity to arrivals
Cons: Overcharged for the rental. Car was not good.
Pros: Great service & quick turn around. Car was new with good technology.
Cons: Couldn't get through to anyone on the phone or via the App when we needed help for the vandalised smashed window. We had to cancel our plans we had for the day.
Pros: Nothing
Cons: Horrible staff very pushy and made us pay for extra insurance with them despite paying with discover cars initially. Paid an extra 400 euros at the desk. What a disgrace
Pros: Tania served us at Alicante airport and we already paid for the car and extra insurance but she said it was invalid so she made us pay an extra £240+ . She was very rude. Hopefully I get the £140 back but from leaving it with a full tank but still paid an extra £100+ when I already paid...
Cons: Tania served us at Alicante airport and we already paid for the car and extra insurance but she said it was invalid so she made us pay an extra £240+ . She was very rude. Hopefully I get the £140 back but from leaving it with a full tank but still paid an extra £100+ when I already paid...
Pros: Excellent service with great car
Pros: Quick and easy
Cons: The discussions around insurance
Cons: Hard sell of additional insurances
Pros: No complaints. Great car. Great value and great service!
Pros: The car was good BUT ABSOLUTELY DONT RENT FROM THEM THEY ARE THIEVES
Cons: I arrived at the desk at 23.02 and they pretended me to pay 40 euro extra because it way late
Pros: Pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to locate the pick up desk and drop off location. Didn’t experience any queue and the shuttle to take us to the airport arrived in minutes. Car (9 seated) was as described and economical. Would certainly use
Cons: Nothing
Pros: Nothing
Cons: Staff rude and unhelpful. Definitely a bias against English speaking customers. I will never use them again. We regularly rent cars from alicante Airport and there is plenty of choice. Staff patronising, rude and treated us with contempt. They clear think that us stupid English people don't speak any Spanish and therefore we don't understand when they are being rude. How wrong they were.
Pros: Relatively efficient
Cons: The constant pressure and warmongering to purchase extra insurance. Ultimately the price I paid was double what was expected.
Pros: The drop off was quick and hassle free. Found where we needed to go easily. Well sign posted. Very reasonable price, even the lady on the desk was shocked.
Cons: Hard sell for their extra insurance. Tried to get us to pay an extra €120.
Pros: Would never recommend Centauro again.
Cons: Rude staff on drop off of car aggressive and threatening quite scary. Mis informed us of Petrol cost not refunded even though was full on drop off.
Pros: The agent was friendly and the process was very quick. I had a difficult time returning the car after hours, but the agents at the desk agreed to help me out, which I appreciate.
Cons: I felt pressured, almost threatened, to buy the insurance, which I didn't need due to my own insurance already being in place. I also had a terrible time returning the car - no one had suggested smart key and I couldn't find any "box" to just drop the key into, so I was caught with no time to return the car after the kiosk opened.
Cons: They did not listen to my concern.
Pros: The support after the rental is a disaster.
Pros: easy and efficiency to get and return the car
Cons: Nothing
Pros: They provide very good condition cars at a cheap rate
Cons: The agent was a bit pushy on trying to get us to buy their own insurance which was very expensive and would have trebled the rental cost from £65 to £185 for 6 days. That made me feel anxious and doubt the cover given by Discover cars
Pros: Based at the airport,very easy pick up and drop off.
Cons: Charging extra €40 for arriving after 11pm which was not mentioned. The full cover front centauro cost more than the rental itself €20/day.
Pros: Quick transparent service nice clean and very new easy to drive vehicles
Pros: Very swift pick-up process
Cons: A forensic search for scratches on the car on return - which of course were found.
Cons: Trying to sell very expensive insurances at pick-up. No insurance company would like to be known for that pricing structure.
Pros: We were happy. We gave what we had bought.
Pros: Everything was perfect
Cons: N/A
Pros: Nice car
Cons: As previously stated. I was told that the insurance purchased from discover cars wasnt correct, so had to purchase theirs.
Pros: No queue at Alicante. Processed in seconds
Pros: Professional, fast and helpful
Pros: We changed the original car as it was not great, but the staff were very helpful
Cons: Very nice helpful staff
Pros: Staff were very helpful and sorted out a problem with our 1st vehicle efficiently making our holiday less stressful. Great communication!
Cons: Nothing to complain about but maybe they could reward there regular guests with better discounts as they aren’t always the cheapest hence I book with someone else but would prefer not too.
Pros: Efficient. No Messing. Spoke good English which helped a lot. Because I’m an ignorant Englishman.
Cons: N/A
Pros: So easy from start to finish, all staff so friendly and helpful
Cons: Noting
Pros: They were friendly and flexible
Cons: Dropping the cars at Alicante Airport is very annoying as you need to choose the right entrance even though it is the same car park. I would of preferred to pick up and drop the car in Alicante Town without the charges.
Pros: Quick, efficient and friendly
Cons: The car was badly damaged on the rear passenger side. When I made comments about it I was told they are all damaged in some way. Not the sort of service we expected when paying so much.
Pros: Perfect service
Cons: Nothing
Pros: Spoke English well
Cons: Purchased insurance which was 174 euros. Steep!
Pros: Good and quick service both pick up and drop off.
Cons: Right rear tyre leaked and air had to be added daily.
Pros: Nice car and speedy service
Cons: Unfriendly service desk employee, pushing for an upgrade of insurance continuously!
Pros: Friendly person
Cons: Insistance of taking full coverage insurance
Pros: I liked the efficency, and the car was in decent condition.
Cons: I did not like the fact that I had handed over the voucher to the agent, explaining I'd full insurance. The agent did not seem to have listened to this and charged me for full insurance again, this time through Centauro. I presummed this was the damage deposit not extra insurance cover. I was not shown a breakdown of costs at the desk and told it would be sent via email. When I received the email I realised I'd paid for full insurance twice. I emailed back right away complaining. A scam !!
Pros: see above.
Cons: The add on €140--00 for additional insurance having taken out comprehensive insurance at the time of booking.
Pros: Nothing
Cons: They forced me to take their Car Insurance even though I had purchased the Full Cover with Discover Cars. Avoid Centauro ""LIKE THE PLAGUE".
Cons: The first car I was given had a really dirty drivers seat like someone had been eating and drinking and dropping on the seat. Horrible stains. Centauro swopped for another vehicle that was a little better.
Cons: Watch out for the possible trick. The company insistently offers you full insurance, but after you return the car, they can freely detect the lack of any element inside. Without notifying you and without being real, they will charge you. Maybe it's the branch's policy to make money out of nothing, or it's an employee's intention to make you pay for his mistake. But in any case, I don't recommend it, unless you take pictures of the whole interior.
Pros: KIND COURTIOUS AND EFFICIENT
Cons: Forced to upgrade ended up with smaller car
Pros: The staff were fine and the car was new
Cons: The Insurance was a rip off and the car was smaller than I ordered making it a very uncomfortable trip to Benidorm for 4 Adults and all their bags
Cons: They charged me 28 euros for a number plate which was in my opinion poor quality and was wear and tear .but I did not have a photo of the number plate when I picked it up it was not caused by damage
Pros: Good price, low deposit
Pros: Efficient
Cons: Expensive
Cons: Lied saying a car with 10k miles was brand new whilst heavily pushing the excess insurance
Cons: Once I had finished with the girl at the desk she sent me over to the car park to pick up the car, I had ordered a child’s car seat so had to get this from the man in th me car park office. He was no where to be seen. After 10 hours travelling I had 2 screaming children and i was stuck in the car park as I could not find anyone for over 30 minutes. Luckily another customer was dropping his car off and sent his son over to the deck within the airport to get someone. This caused a lot of stress
Pros: Nothing
Cons: Everything
Pros: Clean car
Cons: Extremely unpolite lady who was trying to sell their extra insurance while I was already covered.
Pros: Not too eager to make me buy extras.
Pros: Car was clean and issue free
Cons: Over charged - took a deposit of 1050 euros plus the charge for the fuel up front. Disappointing
Pros: quick check out
Cons: slow collection and not allowed to extend by a few days without a lot of trouble via website etc so didn't do it
Pros: Fast and efficient
Cons: No pushing me to upgrade etc.
Pros: Quick and easy
Cons: Tried to charge twice for extra driver
Pros: Changed me twice for fuel on pick up I dropped car back full charged me a fee twice very bad .
Cons: Changed me twice for fuel on pick up I dropped car back full charged me a fee twice. Can very old with lots of damage on it .
Pros: Trustworthy
Cons: Nothing
Pros: It was no fuss and my deposit was returned as promised
Cons: Hard sell of additional insurance despite me having third party deposit insurance in place. I ended up buying it, it wasn't cheap, however it made the rest of pick up and drop off less fuss.
Pros: Fast. Easy to find.
Cons: Not having a full tank of fuel.
Pros: Centuro were the rudest people I’ve ever dealt with
Cons: Everything! Will never use again!
Pros: nothing- after i refused their full insurance the smiles departed
Cons: the lady i dealt with became quiet aggressive when i refused their insurance almost to the point i was going to walk away and book elsewhere.. WONT BE BACK
Pros: Relatively good service but they tried to sell you extra insurance
Cons: Long queue, must be a quicker way of processing customers in advance via an app?
Pros: Easy to find at the airport; great assistants, no push, clear conditions!
Cons: Crowdy at pick up.... too many customers ;-).
Pros: Price
Cons: Rude members of staff. Suggesting that I couldn't get the car without paying extra for insurance.
Pros: Confident staff, good English which helped my patchy Spanish
Cons: Pressure sell of extra insurance, made me doubt my purchase of full cover with the internet broker. Thought I was dealing with Centauro not a broker on line initially
Pros: Nothing. Service was appalling
Cons: Took us over an hour just to be seen at the desk when we arrived, tried selling numerous add ons and had no interest in helping us with the child car seat. Damage report doesn’t match what they state on paperwork and try charging you for everything
Pros: nothing
Cons: The staff were rude. Hugging and puffing when we pointed out that we had already paid all the extras for full cover to the broker. Rolled her eyes and said ‘read the terms and conditions more carefully when you book with a broker’ ... since read lots of reviews suggesting this is a scam operated but centauro. Would never, ever use them again.
Pros: Nothing
Cons: I found Centaura very unsatisfactory when we declined their offer of insurance (we had already taken up insurance with Duscover). Be very careful when collecting a car from Centaura - check it thoroughly for existing damage. We paid the price and were charged for damage we know we did not cause. I will NEVER use Centaura again
Cons: Length of wait and no opportunity to purchase premium queue service which jumped queue.
Pros: Friendly staff
Cons: We were given the wrong car keys so had to return to the desk. We were issued with a different car and paperwork but they made a further admin error and gave us someone else’s car so has to call us to correct the error, however after returning the car they have not refunded our fuel costs despite us returning the car full. I expect this is due to the admin error. I have issued a complaint and am waiting to hear back but no response yet after 48 hours
Pros: Easy to find and use
Cons: The insurance cost and different options was slightly confusing.
Pros: Guys where fantastic our flight got redirected to another airport and with in 10 mins of calling them they had arranged for me to pick up a car at the new airport at no extra cost.
Pros: It took 3 hours to collect car at airpirt!
Cons: Waiting time RIP off financiallg
Pros: easy to find
Cons: didn't explain how to start the car pushy trying to sell insurance-at a very high price
Pros: Nice car, reasonable price.
Cons: We waited in the airport in a queue for the rental desk for almost 2 hours. Then to only require the agent to input my passport and driving license details onto the system and take payment. All of which could have been done online beforehand. I was then charged a late service fee as the flight was delayed and there was the massive queue.
Pros: Although I booked with everything covered they wanted either 154 euros to cover any other damage or they woud take 1200 euro on my credit card until it was returned and even with a scratch on the car they would not give me back my 1200 euro, this is just a scam as I already had cover from the UK insurance, the lady said either you want to pay 154 Euro or 1200 its up to you. I shall spread this to all social media and to money saving expert UK
Pros: Nothing, disgusting
Cons: Endless wait at airport to collect car. Rip off with car insurance. rip off with petrol policy.
Pros: fast and simple
Cons: nothing
Pros: good location easy drop off
Cons: took 3 hours to wait for a car
Pros: Car was alright
Cons: We waited 75 minutes to pick the car up. Ridiculous
Cons: Length of time queuing to pick up the car was almost 1 hour.
Pros: Quick return of my deposit. No problems at all with the car, was really nice and new
Cons: Took over an hour to wait at the desk to sort out the paperwork when collecting the car - really really slow
Pros: Staff seemed friendly
Cons: 1. An hour waiting to collect the car was unacceptable. 2. The car had damage that was not explained by the agent
Pros: Clean car quite new
Cons: Cost much more than promised
Pros: Drop off was quick but they failed to inform me about what they considered to be insufficient fuel. Car was very good
Cons: Despite specifically rejecting extra insurance when I booked and telling the agent st the desk that I didn’t want or need extra insurance We were subjected to 10 mins sales spiel. Because I was getting annoyed he said I was rude.I was annoyed that although I thought I had booked full/full I was told that I had to take half/half. He said full/ full was an option but they hadn’t got any. I took the car as half full and returned it half full but was charged for refuelling and extra fuel. Rip off!
Pros: Cost
Cons: Booked a ‘van’ type vehicle but got a hatchback. Worked out ok but could have been awkward.
Pros: Nice car
Cons: Had to pay a very high price for the insurance. Twice as much as on line booking. Same car, same length of time.
Pros: This scale is ambiguous not clear if 1 means little time dropping car or long time!!
Cons: Massive wait at Alicante. Never told that at Malaga airport there is no drop off. It is a ten minute drive away!! Terrible.
Pros: nothing
Cons: I was scammed out of €126 by Centauro. I called Centauro after making the booking on +34966360360 to see if it was ok to use the secondary driver's credit card for the booking as the primary driver does not have a credit card. I was told this was absolutely fine. Upon arriving at the desk to collect the car I was told they could only accept a credit card in the first drivers name. They only way they would accept the secondary drivers credit card was if we added the Smart Cover.
Cons: pick up time
Pros: No queue on collection, easy drop off.
Cons: felt pressurised to upgrade, take extra insurance, take out break down assistance. Car was highly damaged
Pros: The car was great - brand new and exactly what we wanted. The staff at the pick up point in the car were very helpful as we'd been given the wrong space number to pick the car up from. Drop off was great and the man who checked our car was polite and efficient.
Cons: Tried the hard sell for extras when we reached the desk. Got very pushy with us to take out extra unnessecary insurance etc. Did not give us directions as to where to find the car.
Pros: Curteous and efficient
Cons: Tried to sell extra insurance despite letting them know we already had it. Weren’t over pushy though
Pros: no pressure to buy additional insurance ( I already had mine)
Cons: Nothing.
Cons: Rip off on price quoted!
Pros: Did not accommodate my booking mistake! And doubled my rental fee. It was MY mistake in booking but I expected a bit more understanding since we had been traveling for 2 and 1/2 days
Cons: I should have been credited the deposit fee!
Cons: hire agreement was full/full petrol. I was told the car was 3/4 full of petrol at the desk when signing up for the car. When I got to it, it wasn't even 3/4 full. It should have been full as per hire agreement. I took the car back with nearly full of petrol, Centauro would not refund the difference when I asked for it.This is very unfair as nowhere in the terms and conditions does it say they will not refund the difference.If I had taken the car back under 3/4 they add charges. very Unhappy!
Pros: NOTHING
Cons: I know that car rental companies in Spain just crook. But not on a such level. Especially 75 deposit for refueling and refunding without VAT
Cons: Paid for a car seat but had to ask for it. Not all damages were listed
Pros: Honestly, nothing really. It was stressful even getting the car.
Cons: They didnt give me an automatic and I had to fight to change it. I couldnt find the discover office because it doesnt exist and Centauro staff sent me away intially not knowing what discover is.
