It was very easy to use Centauro

It was very easy to use Centauro, which I and my familiy has done for more than 15 years. During the last two years the service has overall developed and the price for full cover insurance.

Horrible experience

Horrible experience. The only way to get there from Madrid airport is with a shuttle( badly organized) and once we got there we had to wait hours in the sun in the queue.

una stella perchè meno non si può

una stella perchè meno non si può. sono imbarazzanti, servizio clienti ridicolo. Effettuato prenotazione online pagamento andato a buon fine ma la prenotazione no, quindi mi trovo ad aver pagato ma no ho nessun numero di prenotazione in mano. per fare reclamo devi compilare un form dove il numero di prenotazione è obbligatorio. ho doovuto contestare il pagamento al servizio clienti della mia carta di credito. Evitate questa società come la peste.

Finger weg

Finger weg! Bei Abholung des Autos war viel los und die Mitarbeiter dementsprechend kurz angebunden und unfreundlich. Von anderen Autovermietungen bin ich es gewohnt, gemeinsam mit einem Mitarbeiter das Auto in Empfang zu nehmen. Inkl. Erklärung und evtl. Dokumentation von bereits erfolgten Schäden. Ich bekam lediglich den Schlüssel auf den Tresen geknallt und musste das Auto selbst suchen. Bei der Abgabe dann die Abzocke: Mir wurde ein Schaden abgedichtet, den ich nicht verursacht habe. Und da ich leider keine Beweisfotos gemacht habe, wurden 270€ einbehalten. Das Personal, ebenfalls wieder kurz angebunden und unfreundlich, lies sich auf keine Diskussion ein. Nicht einmal ein Schadensbericht wurde mir ausgestellt. Nun hoffe ich auf Check24 und den Premiumschutz, um die Kosten zurück zu erhalten. Wie bereits in vorherigen Rezensionen geschrieben: Centauro lockt mit günstigen Angeboten und verdient am Ende mit solchen Methoden. Nie wieder Centauro. Einen Stern gibt es lediglich für die Nähe zum Flughafen und den Shuttleservice.

The only negatives were the very long…

The only negatives were the very long wait (40 minutes) to collect the car keys at the terminal office, and the lack of interaction with staff at the collection / return point.

You will not get the car!

Payment and booking confirmation do not guarantee that you will receive a car! First, you may be told that the specific vehicle is unavailable. Then, the pickup may be postponed several times under the pretext of waiting. In the end, your booking may simply be canceled on the spot! Centauro Lisbon

Es una auténtica trampa

Es una auténtica trampa. Anuncian que puedes alquilar coche sin pagar franquicia pero te piden hasta 1.400 euros. La alternativa es pagarles un seguro de doscientos y pico por 7 días, casi lo que pagas a todo riesgo por tu propio coche por dos meses. Aunque ya hayas pagado seguro con el intermediario con el que alquilaste. Cero explicaciones, encogida de hombros... una empresa a la que nunca contratar. Y un punto cada vez más común en la desatención al cliente: todos ustedes (los clientes) llegan aquí con la misma queja (¿cómo que tengo que pagar seguro que equivale al precio del alquiler habiendo pagado otro o dejar 1.400 euros de fianza? ¿Dónde estaba escrito eso en la oferta?)- pero a la hora de contratar está muy claro todo, aunque yo (el operario vestidito de amarillo limón) no tengo claro lo que contratan ustedes porque no lo he visto nunca. O, lo que es lo mismo: todos ustedes son completamente lerdos y yo añado: sí, por haber elegido a esta compañía...

Des arnaqueurs

J'ai loué une voiture chez Centauro à Chania en passant par le site Booking. Alors que sur le site c'est écrit que le loueur prends les cartes de débit et crédit, sur place le loueur refuse de louer la voiture au porteur d'une carte de débit si vous n'achetez pas son assurance. N'ayant pas le choix, j'ai du payer presque 200€ d'assurance, alors que j'avais déjà acheté une assurance totale avec Booking de 56€. Bref, c'est des arnaqueurs et des voleurs !!!

Failed to return my deposit

The car was returned on the 22nd of June in perfect condition with a full tank of fuel and as of the 12th of July still no refund for my deposit of 1400 Euro.. Seems to be a company policy judging by the other reviews..

2h d’attente + pression assurances

Près de deux heures pour être pris en charge par un agent Centauro le 26 juin . Une pression indigne pour vendre les assurances déjà souscrites auprès de auto Europe mais soit disant non reconnues par Centauro. Tout le monde était en stress , mais les employés continuaient à tenter avant tout de vendre ces maudites assurances . Montant :260 euros pour une location à 311 euros .. certains ont cédé aux menaces de lourdes conséquences financière . J’ai refusé et 1100 euros ont été bloqué sur mon compte . À fuir

Misled and Overcharged at Centauro…

Misled and Overcharged at Centauro Alicante I recently rented a car from Centauro at Alicante Airport and had an extremely disappointing experience that left me feeling deceived and out of pocket. Upon arrival at the Centauro desk, I presented my American Express credit card. I was told they didn’t accept Amex—even though my booking confirmation only stated that a credit card in the driver’s name was required. After a long discussion, the staff member offered me a €140 insurance package. I explained that I’d booked through Zest and already had excess cover, so I did not need or want any additional local insurance. Eventually, we agreed that I would transfer €1,400 to my debit card so they could hold the excess amount there. I was also asked to pay a fuel deposit, which I accepted. The staff member then handed me a tablet to sign, saying it was just for the car rental agreement. I signed it under that assumption. However, when I returned home, I received a refund of around £100 for the fuel deposit—but not the €140 for the local insurance, which I had explicitly declined multiple times. I contacted Zest, who were very helpful and looked into the matter. They informed me that I had "signed for the local insurance." I explained that I was misled: the tablet I was asked to sign had no clear indication of what I was agreeing to, and I was told it was simply for the rental. My signature was clearly misused and applied to the unwanted insurance. As it stands, I’m £140 out of pocket because of a deceptive practice. To be fair, the car itself was excellent and the drop-off process was smooth—but unless this issue is resolved and I receive the refund I’m owed, I will not be using Centauro again. A quick look on Trustpilot reveals I’m not alone—several other customers have had nearly identical experiences at this same location in the past week. I hope this gets addressed so others aren't caught out the same way.

Gir deg en mindre bil enn du har betalt for

Veldig misfornøyd med disse, hjelper jo ikke at de har lavest pris når du får mye mindre bil en du har bestilt. Har leid veldig mange biler fra andre selskaper og aldri opplevd dette før, aldri mer Centauro!
