“centauro car hire malaga rip off ”

written by colinthecarp on 17/01/2020

Just returned from Malaga hired a car from centauro be warned of them. 
car hire voucher stated free second driver this was refused at the counter , wanted to charge £50 extra . Hard sell of top up insurance although I had my own annual insurance , was told that I would have to arrange my own recovery in the event that the car broke down!!!!!!!.inspected the car and noted scratches on the rear bumper , when I showed them to the lady that took the booking I was assured that these were in the permitted 5cm limits.on returning the car these marks were immediately picked up on together with a tiny pinhole scratch on the windscreen and told that a charge of £325 would be made .This is obviously a well rehearsed thing. They then threatened to not return your £1200 euro excess unless you sign to accept the damage. this amounts to extortion in my book. its about time that the spanish government sort out these unscrupulous companies once and for all.
BE VERY CAREFUL if you decide to deal with this company
