quick, easy, stress free. The courier driver one of the most helpful employees I've come across, couldn't do enough for me especially when I realized I'd misplaced my glasses. First class service.

Pick up and subsequent drop off was a breeze. Very friendly staff. The dedicated area for dropping off rental cars was so excellent, and so easy, and more airports should really do the same. Extremely... See more

Avoid – terrible experience and no accountability

Avoid – terrible experience and no accountability

Booked a Centauro car through StressFreeCarRental for Chania Airport, with a confirmed 23:00 collection and our flight details provided.

Our flight was delayed due to weather/ATC while we were already on the aircraft. We landed around 23:00 and were out of the airport around 23:15. There was no Centauro shuttle, nobody answered our repeated calls, and we even took a taxi directly to the Centauro office only to find it closed.

The next morning Centauro couldn't even locate our booking and told us to contact StressFreeCarRental.

Despite call records, taxi receipts and clear evidence that we genuinely attempted to collect the car, StressFreeCarRental are simply refusing a refund and have labelled us a “no-show”, despite our repeated attempts to collect the vehicle.

Very poor customer service from StressFreeCarRental, compounded by the poor experience with Centauro on the ground in Greece.

Would not use StressFreeCarRental again. Pay extra and book through a recognised comparison platform or directly with the car hire company.

UPDATE: I have already contacted your customer service team, who have failed to understand or acknowledge my claim and have generically refused me a refund.

Lead driver: James Wilson
Booking reference: 370593842
Centauro reference: GR26055905

All details, including photos and receipts have been shared but I will send again.

Dear James,

Thank you for taking the time to share this feedback. We're very sorry to hear about the difficulties you experienced trying to collect your vehicle in Chania, and we understand how frustrating and stressful that must have been, especially after a delayed flight late at night.

However, we want to be transparent: we've searched our system for a booking or support case matching the details in this review, but without a booking reference number or the full name on the reservation, we are unable to locate your file or verify any of the specifics described here — including any confirmed collection time, the communication that took place, or the outcome you've referenced regarding a refund decision. As a result, we're not in a position to confirm or comment on the specific circumstances or any decision made, as we simply cannot match this review to an account.

As StressFreeCarRental.com is a price comparison and booking platform, we act as an intermediary between customers and rental suppliers such as Centauro — we are not the rental company ourselves, and the rental agreement for your vehicle sits directly between you and Centauro. That said, we do support our customers with supplier issues wherever we can, and every case we handle is reviewed individually based on the evidence provided to us directly, such as call records, receipts, and correspondence.

If you'd like us to look into this properly, please email us at help@stressfreecarrental.com with your booking reference and the full name used on the booking, along with the supporting evidence you've mentioned (call logs, taxi receipt, etc.). We'll make sure it's picked up and reviewed on its merits.

Quick, stress free, super helpful staff

Process was quick and hassle free - big shout out to Kian who was really friendly and got us sorted with no issues. We were able to use our debit card, which a lot of other car rentals said they weren’t able to do. Excellent service, would use again any time we need a rental!

Impossible to contact!

Impossible to contact!
Chat does not respond, and simply emails you a few hours later stating that you have a reply.
Clicking the link simply sends you to their homepage :(
Emailing them has a similar pointless exchange.
Very concerned as our booking is only a couple of weeks away, and this company appears not to exist, even their google app is none existent!

Update:
I now have 11 messages from Stress Free Car Rental which simply say, you have a reply please click here!
None of them work and I've been unable to read a single reply,
It's difficult to see how this is Stress Free and is driving me nuts,
It seems obvious that there is not a single human brain cell on the other end of these messages and without any viable way of contacting the company do not see how they have such a high Trust pilot rating.
Highly Suspicious!!!

Hello Donald,

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear that you have experienced difficulties getting in touch with us and understand why this would be particularly concerning with your rental date approaching.

We would like to reassure you that your booking is important to us and that we are here to assist. We are also sorry to hear that the chat notification and email communication have not worked as expected. We understand how frustrating it is to receive a notification that you have a reply, only to be redirected to the homepage rather than being able to view the response.

We would be very happy to look into your booking directly and make sure you have the information you need ahead of your rental.

Please contact our Customer Service team with your booking reference. We can then locate the booking, review the communication history and investigate any outstanding questions or concerns you may have regarding your upcoming rental.

We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and apologise for the inconvenience caused. We look forward to assisting you and giving you the reassurance you need before your rental takes place.

Dear Harish,

Thank you for leaving this review. We take all customer concerns seriously, however we have no record of you contacting our team about this booking (ref: 100549961) at any point, despite the serious allegations made here.

To clarify our role: StressFreeCarRental.com is a price comparison and booking platform, not the car rental company. Your rental agreement for this booking was directly with Ecovia (Autovia) at Naples Airport, and any decisions made at the collection desk - including a refusal to release a vehicle - are made solely by the supplier in line with their own terms and conditions, such as accepted payment cards, driver documentation, and age requirements. This is standard across the car rental industry and outside of our control.

We firmly reject any suggestion of fraud. If you were refused your vehicle, we want to understand exactly what happened so we can raise it with Ecovia directly. Please email us at help@stressfreecarrental.com with your booking reference, the exact reason given at the desk, and any supporting documentation (rental agreement, photos, or correspondence), and we will investigate this with the supplier.

I had a fantastic experience renting a car in Korea. The service was excellent from start to finish - the staff were friendly professional and very helpful. The car was clean, comfortable, well maintained, and the rental price was already very affordable.
What made the experience even better was that they gave me an amazing discount which I really appreciated.
The whole rental process was easy and hassle-free, and I felt that they genuinely look after their customers.
I would highly recommend this car rental company to anyone traveling to Korea who is looking for a great service, reliable cars, and affordable prices.
Thank you for the excellent service I will definitely use your company again when I return to Korea. 🚘

Review request immediately after booking?!

No confirmation page appeared at the end of the booking. Instead, I only received a Trustpilot review request, even before getting a confirmation page, let alone picking up the car. Very confusing.

Dear Eldar,

Thank you for flagging this. Your booking (confirmed 28-Aug for pickup at Tenerife Playa Las Americas on 1-Sep) was completed successfully — the review invite and the booking confirmation are sent by separate systems, so it's possible for the review request to arrive first even though your confirmation email would have gone out as well. I appreciate that this order is confusing, especially arriving before you've even collected the car.

If you haven't received your confirmation email, please check your spam/junk folder, or look up your booking directly at stressfreecarrental.com/en/manage-booking/login using the email address you booked with. If you still can't find it, email help@stressfreecarrental.com and we'll confirm your reservation for you.

Thanks again for booking with StressFreeCarRental.com, and we hope the pickup on the 1st goes smoothly.
