How to book with Centauro without surprises
- Compare the TOTAL price (with the coverage and deposit you accept) against other companies — sometimes the budget brand stops being cheap.
- Bring a credit card in the driver’s name with enough limit for the deposit.
- Photos and video of the car inside and out, at pickup and return.
- Choose full-to-full and return with a full tank and the fuel receipt.
- Book cancellable rates: if you find better later, you switch for free.
Verdict: no company is absolutely "good" or "bad" — it depends on the branch, the season and how you set up the booking. The rule that never fails: compare the real total price for your dates and read the deposit terms before paying.
