Upon arriving, there were about 20 people waiting and one clerk working. We put our reservation number into the waiting que machine and it couldn't find the reservation. Tried twice more, wouldn't take it. We were told to take a ticket representing we didn't have a reservation. Waited an hour, then called the 800 number. They said to try the number again, it was valid. Put the number in the machine, the reservation was found and we got a valid waiting ticket. Even though we were issued a ticket at 10:00am, they wouldn't honor it. In total, we waited about 2.5 hours & missed the tour we were driving to, which had non-refundable tickets.

Turned around and had to return to Sixt to get a new car - waited 2 hours till they got a new car that worked. When we returned the car in 3-5-25 we had to wait 2 hours before we could return the car. They were completely backed up. We were happy to be returning the car because of the poor service from rental to returning the car. When returned home we received a bill 2 months later saying we owed another $176 - because we returned the car a day late. We have our paperwork showing on the rental agreement but they keep on saying we own them the money. We will keep fighting with them until they stop. I would never rent from Sixt again.

Totally a scam to make more money. When we rented the total was around 350 usd, but since that wasn't available and the "only" option was something else this rental turned into all most 1000.00 usd rental. Yes a thousand dollars!!! Even for the highest tiered member of this company you will get no one. service was poor, people were rude and disrespectful upon returning the car. I'd highly suggest renting from another company. Enterprise, Almo and National all the same and I'd stay away!! Definitely not like the service in the US or the car classes for the money paid.

There was a small stain on the back seat when we picked up the car…read moreand I didn't bother recording it as it's not the first time I would rent a car with old seat stains (not a new car). Spent 30 minutes documenting all other existing damage on vehicle. Upon returning the car, they insisted we were responsible for the seat stain. More importantly, TIAGO INACIO, was extremely demeaning and hurled insults at me when I advised that the stain was present at pickup. There's a reason this outfit has poor reviews. It's a thinly veiled extortion racket where they hope they can get you to pay for stuff that has nothing to do with you. And they have the worst customer service I have encountered at a car rental. If you have a choice, avoid this dumpster fire of a company. If you don't, then dedicate 45 minutes documenting even the tiniest marks on the car (inside and out). Otherwise, expect to be cheated and scammed by these guys!

It wasn't efficient enough though that I have to advice you guys to have google within your reach. It will save you some time. Anyway, they offer very good insurance coverage for your entire rental if you choose it. I know I did because I never know the future. They bring the car with full gas, clean and ready to go but they also expect to get the car back filled with gas. They will clean the car again upon return for the next person. Returning process was much faster. I still recommend this place because it worked out very well for me in my opinion. You're welcome and Obrigada!

First, they tried to get us to upgrade and when we declined, they upgraded us anyway. The BMW required both hands and a hard push in order to shift into reverse, and it was very, very low to the ground. Upon return, an employee checked the car, finding no damage. Then the counter person came out and was on her hands and knees, crawling around the car in search of damage. She found a thumbnail scratch on a hubcap, and charged us 227 Euros! We are contesting this charge with our credit card. The investigator has yet to receive any information from Dollar, probably because they cannot show that the scratch repair cost 227 Euros. In the meantime, Dollar added a $20 charge from Madrid, and $3.50 from Oklahoma! There is no explanation whatsoever as to what they are for, and these charges are a mystery.

Centauro Lisbon Airport Booking Number: PR25059249 I am…read morewriting to formally express my dissatisfaction with the service I received from Centauro Rent a Car at Lisbon Airport during my recent rental experience.  I rented a vehicle from your location on Lisbon Airport on May 28, 2025 and returned it on the same location on June 6, 2025.  Unfortunately, my experience was far below the standard I would expect from a professional car rental company. Upon arrival at the Lisbon Airport office, the staff member who assisted us was noticeably rude and unhelpful. We had arrived just as the office opened, and it appeared that assisting us interfered with her plans to go for breakfast with her colleagues. She charged us an additional €209, which she explained consisted of a €100 fuel deposit (refundable if the vehicle was returned with a full tank) and €109 for the Via Verde toll system (also to be refunded upon return of the vehicle). When I questioned why the fuel deposit would only be refunded 10 days after the vehicle was returned, I was told it was due to the need to verify the fuel level and calculate charges. This explanation did not make sense to me, particularly because the Via Verde system is automatically tracked and settled, and should therefore be processed in a similar timeframe. To make matters worse, the representative gave us the wrong car key and left the office immediately with the rest of the staff. We were to turn in the car due to wrong key she gave us  or get assistance for nearly 30 minutes, as there was no one present in the office. This lack of professionalism and preparedness was unacceptable. When we returned the car, which had been refueled completely, the staff member who received the vehicle was extremely rude and dismissive. He refunded only €88.51 and refused to explain why the full €100 was not returned. Instead of providing clarification, he mocked me for accidentally saying "dollars" instead of "euros" and offered no meaningful assistance. I was on a tight schedule to catch my flight and had no choice but to leave without resolving the issue. Upon reviewing my account later, I realized that the €88.51 was not a refund of the fuel deposit at all -- it was the Via Verde refund, minus toll charges incurred during our trip. Additionally, I noticed a charge of €13.20 for tolls from our last day that appeared after the return. This amount should have been deducted from the €100 fuel deposit, meaning that I am owed a refund of €86.80. It has now been almost a moth since the return of the car, and I have yet to receive this refund. I have emailed the company several times and received only automated replies stating that the fuel deposit would be refunded within 10-12 days. I have also called the office multiple times and left voicemails, none of which have been returned. At this point, not only do I feel disappointed and frustrated by the poor customer service I experienced, but I am also still awaiting a refund that the company is obligated to process. I kindly request that Centauro immediately refund the outstanding amount of €86.80 and provide a written confirmation of this action. I hope you will treat this matter with the seriousness it deserves and ensure that no other customer is subjected to the same level of unprofessionalism and disregard. I hope I receive the refund they own me of €86.20 soon
