1. The shuttle bus was impossible to find. I had no idea where it was and spent half an hour searching for it. In the end, I had to take a taxi, which cost 10 euros on the meter. The driver said the starting fare from the airport is 21 euros. 2. At the time of car pickup, they aggressively pushed an insurance plan costing 26 euros per day, even though I had already purchased full insurance. 3. If you don’t buy their insurance, no one will assist you during pickup. They simply hand you a key and leave you to search for the car among hundreds of vehicles under the blazing sun. 4. Apart from the authorization hold, they also blocked 109 euros for fuel, saying it would be refunded if the car is returned with a full tank. I’ve rented cars many times and this is the first time I’ve encountered a company that precharges fuel costs. 5. I received a parking ticket during the rental period and asked the staff for help on how to handle it, but they completely ignored me and told me to sort it out myself without providing any guidance or information.

Focused on delivering happiness and freedom.

First, there were only one or two people at the rental counter, so the waiting time was quite long. I was the fourth in line and waited for over an hour. Second, the various service charges during the process were annoying (more mentioned in other reviews). After charging me a 1400 EUR deposit for vehicle damages, I saw the car I was renting, which was covered in scratches. I immediately took a full video of the car (see attachment), went back to the counter, and the staff said that the video was not acceptable, they needed photos (deliberate difficulty?). So, I took photos and argued with her for a long time. Finally, she reluctantly noted the scratches on my rental agreement and stamped it. Third, after completing the paperwork, I found out that I wasn't given the car model I reserved. They insisted that I accept a smaller Kia. If I disagreed, the only option was a manual car, or I had to wait until an automatic one was available, with no clear time frame. There was no apology whatsoever, even though they knowingly downgraded my car model. This was deceitful! Fourth, the car key had a low battery, and on the fifth day, we had to press the key against the start button to start the car. We needed to search for a Kia store to replace the battery since the car couldn't start with the key. You can imagine my panic! I don't even want to mention my feelings further. Overall, highly not recommended!!

Renting through Centauro was the absolute worst experience I have ever had. Not only did we need to wait 90 minutes - the woman at the front desk told us we needed to have an international drivers license (which was not indicated anywhere) and then told us we could solve the problem by paying 250 euros and then tried to get us to slip her fifty euros outside to solve the problem. Extortion. Awful. Unbelievable that this happened in Europe.

Centauro in Barcelona is not able to handle properly all bookings in effective manner. Pick-up times are more than 2 hours although it is known at what time clients should arrive. At the Drop-Off it was not possible to close the contract as there was a mistake in the system (manager inserted in the system that more kilometers were used than agreed). The car was unfortunately robbed and glasswindow broken. Centauro have not provided any explanation about the price of the new window that seemed to be at least twice higher than market price. Insurance details were not explained at the pick-up.

Low prices without proper explanation attract clients for companies like Centauro.
