About Centauro:4.3/10
Long queue to pick up (30mins)
Scaremongering to upsell additional insurance which was more expensive than the rental!
Because I didn't take insurance, didn't even tell me where to find the car just got given keys.
Picked up during a storm and the car was missing a wiper! (known damage)

No complaints with easyrent, have used many times, will use again.
“Easy with EasyRentCars but beware of the pushy insurance sales in Alicante airport.”
About Centauro:9.7/10
Although I’d purchased the upgrade insurance I was slightly perplexed by the woman at the counter who seemed to suggest my insurance wasn’t for full cover. The language barrier was difficult at particular times almost to confuse me more!
“Great, cheap, time efficient but watch out for hidden fuel costs!”
About Centauro:9.0/10
The actual car was lovely and a pleasure to drive. They had a quick pick up system and drop off was in early hours (outside of office hours) so there was a key drop system and no charge for this. My excess fee was automatically returned to me once the office opened. My only issue was a fuel fee, despite having a full to full tank hire agreement. They required deposit of £51 which I was assured would be returned once the car was returned with a full tank....this has not occurred despite me having a receipt (time/date/address) from the petrol station and time stamped photos of the fuel gauge showing a full tank! Currently chasing this up with Centauro!

Great booking platform, by far the cheapest I could find on line! Easy to use however, I have android and could not download the app, so had to print the booking voucher out!
after telling the counter staff I had excess cover and wouldn't be taking the €154 cover they were aggressive, threatening and rude. saying if there was the smallest scratch I would be charged some ridiculous charge. I agreed to the breakdown cover but did ask why I needed breakdown cover and was told I just need it. I will never use them again!
Seller tried to force me to buy additional insurance. He was trying to threaten my about what bad could happen. I refused to pay, tried to put 1000 euro cover on my credit card in case of possibly demage but my credit card had limit below this amount. I resigned and didn't pick up the car, afterall this was my vacation and I didn't want to bother myself about additional expenses or thinking what bad could happen to the car.
