Barcelona

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!!

The wait time was too long. I was supposed to pick up the car at 1 PM, but I didn't get it until 2 PM. There were only two people in line in front of me.

I paid on way charge for the car from Barcelona - Valencia on QEEQ. But Centauro charged me extra for on way when I got to pick the car up. Case is on dispute with QEEQ and I will be seeking refund from my credit card company when I return to UK. As soon as we left Barcelona car engine management light came on, l continued with driving and it went. Hour later l lost power to the car, then stopped at hard shoulder and after turning car off for few minutes it worked. Anyway Centauro replaced the car next day but l lost a whole day. When we got to Valencia the office told me they need additional car so they will be keeping this car. Felt like being ripped off by driving car all the way to Valencia from Barcelona for free for them and they charged me well over €150, what a CON Company.

Smooth process but customer service not too good as l am disputing over €65 for extra charge.

the location is far and hard to find. you need to drive between terminals, and than to find the minibus which after long wait, will finally take you to this far location. after all this long way, you find the worst service i had in "rent a car" offices. I was told that there were sick stuff. but, on the return - i found the same situation. nobody to return the car to... and again... wait for a bus for the terminal...... i recommend to avoid it.

Counter staff helpful. Tried to sell extra insurance but did not persist when I said I already had collision damage waiver. Helped set up sat nav in English. Car was dirty and the back covered in big patches of dried on bird dirt.

Price drop was easy and saved me a little .
