Founded in 1973 as part of the Centauro Group, a tourism-focused corporation offering services in apartments, hotels, and car rentals, Centauro has over 40 years of experience in the industry. With its first office in Benidorm, the company has since expanded to cover Spain’s Mediterranean coast and the Balearic Islands, making it a convenient choice for international travelers visiting top holiday destinations. Centauro offers a large fleet of over 12,000 vehicles, including economy cars, family-sized vehicles, and 9-seater vans, ensuring that a wide range of customer needs are met.
Centauro stands out for its commitment to reliable service and customer satisfaction. The company regularly updates its fleet in line with seasonal tourism trends, meaning most rental cars are nearly new and in excellent condition.

Additionally, their focus on user needs and in-house management of second-hand cars enhances overall service quality.

Very satisfied. The car was in excellent condition, a Jeep SUV model. We drove from Santiago on a one-day road trip to the end of the world. Started at 8 AM and returned around 3 PM to drop off the car. The location was right next to the train and bus stations, so we could directly take the bus to Porto afterward.

CENTAURO at Seville Train Station is easy to locate, and both pick-up and drop-off are very convenient. I selected the basic package online and upgraded to full insurance at the store. The staff only charged a fuel deposit, so I didn't need to pay a vehicle deposit. There's a gas station right across from the car rental, making it convenient to return the car with a full tank. The fuel deposit was refunded by the third day after returning the car, which was quite efficient. I rented the car for just one day to travel between Seville and Granada, and the rental company had no mileage restrictions for single-day rentals. This made driving more flexible than using public transportation, and the overall cost was advantageous as well.

This company requires an additional deposit for fuel, which will be refunded if the car is returned with a full tank. There's a QR code for check-in at the entrance; it’s recommended to upload your identification information while waiting to speed up the pick-up process.

The car provided was an Opel Corsa, which was very fuel-efficient. There were significant scratches on the front and rear doors on the right side, but they did not affect functionality. The counter staff was extremely friendly and patient, providing detailed instructions. After being given the car key, I went to the parking lot to find the car myself. One issue worth mentioning is that the car condition report noted damage on the front and rear doors on the right side when I picked it up. As I was alone, I didn't check the wheels carefully. Fortunately, the video I recorded captured two large scratches on the two rims (why hadn't the rental company identified this earlier?). When returning the car, the staff requested proof of the wheel condition at the time of pickup. Luckily, I had the video evidence, so no compensation was needed. For vehicles with existing damage, make sure to inspect more carefully and take photos of every part as documentation.

We picked up the car near Gate 17 in the departure hall. It was a yellow car and very easy to spot. I made a phone call, but it was in Italian, which I couldn't understand. Fortunately, the yellow car arrived quickly, and we only waited for 10 minutes. During pickup, they tried to sell us insurance, but I declined, and there was no issue. The car was very clean and worked perfectly. We had booked a Ford, but were given a Citroën instead.

The airport shuttle had a long queue on the day of pickup, but the shuttle driver provided a number and the counter would call the numbers in advance, so it was fairly quick.
