Centauro car hire reviews

3 reviews8 countries covered
3.7

Centauro is a familiar name in Southern European holiday markets and is especially visible in Spain, Portugal, and island-heavy leisure destinations. The brand usually competes aggressively on price, which makes it attractive for travellers comparing airport rentals in bulk. The catch is that low headline rates can come with tighter rules, a stronger push toward add-ons, and more emphasis on understanding the fine print before you arrive. Our verdict: Centauro can work well for confident renters who know what they are booking, but it is not the kind of supplier we would recommend blindly to someone who wants the easiest possible desk experience. Read the reviews below to see where Centauro feels efficient and fair, and where the low price comes with avoidable hassle.

Kos Town, Greece

Kos Town Centauro — local operator, honest service

Smaller fleet than the big brands but staff took time to explain local driving quirks. Car had a few scratches, all documented, and return was straightforward.
