The car was great, the problem was when I went to pick up the car, I came at 420 for my 5 o’clock appointment. Rather than giving me the car, I had to come back at 5. The other person who had the car was 20 minutes late. There has to be a better system. And I got the original car that was sitting in the lot.

300 euros for 3 days of insurance coverage only for collision damage towards the car? not even personal insurance or insurance to pay for the damage of another car? I'm never renting here again that's for sure. And I will make sure nobody I know does it neither. It was for a Volvo, not BMW or Mercedes, WTF

Office is far from main terminal, a longer than expected walk. Staff were ok but the auto was not as expected from booking photos. The first auto had a problem, had to be returned, and had to wait almost an hour to get the replacement vehicle

Pick up at Atocha station - Difficult to realize that the pick up is on the parking lot and not at proper Atocha Station - 3 ppl were at the counter but only one was attending customers (There is still a sign on the door that only one customer is allowed a time inside) - Information about refilling the car with petrol at time of return was first confusing. "The message was "our rate of Euro 1,20 is cheaper than at regular petrol stations". The detail that the charge would be the costs of a full tank instead of the actually used petrol was explained in detail when I asked the employee to repeat this information again - When I got to the car, I realized many scratches on the vehicle, especially on one side at the back. This was not adressed to me. I asked another employee who walked by if this is normal and that none had pointed this out? Hi responded "Didn't you sign the contract?" I should check there to see if this damages are noted down. I looked in my inbox but the electronic email had not arrived yet, therefor I went back to the counter to lign up behind another customer. When it was my turn, the employee looked for the the information and explained that there is a "code" of several numbers that protocol various damages on the car, so everything is ok but I should still take photos for documentation.... -- Return Barajas The service at the return at Barajas was professional, quick and the person received me with a big smile as well!

I rented car in spain,after explaining to customer service person that I would be doing quite a bit of driving she suggested an upgrade. I got a larger car that used diesel,a bit less expensive and better mileage.It worked out better for us,since 3 of us were traveling and all suitcases were able to fit in trunk.Happy with my rental.

Hi, I went to Madrid Airport to pick up my car with the price of 140 EUR and an insurance that I already paid for 55$. But when I went to the agent desk, he told me that the insurance is fake and that I have to pay almost 450 EUR for both car rent and insurance which was completely outrageous. In the end, I had to cancel my booking. Please fix this or terminate your contract with companies like Thrifty which will only bring a bad name to your reputation.

car was fine for our purposes & good on mileage

Really hard sell trying to get us to take the insurance on the car, when we refused (we already purchased insurance) the service became surly anf unfriendly.

The staff attention at pick up was wonderful, and general product offered was very good.

The Oil lamp indicadator came on a few hours into our trip. Had the oil checked and it was running very low so I had to spend about 28 euros fixing that.

If I have to leave a deposit, I would like to know its exact size BEFORE buying the service. I had to cancel because I didn't have enough money freed, and even when I cancelled almost immediately I was billed the full rental. I will not trust Centaur ever again

I have rented cars throughout many countries in the world and this has to be the absolute worse experience of the last 35 years. I had booked an SUV, but the SUV had a bad sensor so I could not take that vehicle. Instead, they gave me a small sedan (Corolla). When I asked for another SUV because that is what I paid for, they said that it was big enough and had no other SUVs available even though I saw several in the parking lot. They charged 50% fee of total rental for 1 day in France which was never disclosed when booking. The 50% of total rental did not include insurance or anything else so I was still responsible for any damage, so the extra fee was a complete money grab. What was I to do as it was too late to book a vehicle with another company in another country? The only positive was the fast return of the vehicle.
