“Fantastic sol-mar”
Written on: 06/06/2013 by Ows1980
On landing in Valencia airport I followed the instructions to meet the bus, although it wasn't there at the time but after a 5 min wait it arrived,it took me to the office situated across the road. There I was greeted by a friendly Spanish man who without any fuss took my details and payment ( £175 for 9 days full-full contract) and showed me to the car ( ford focus 1.8tdi) and off I went on my merry way. That evening I suddenly realised that my driving license was missing in a blaze of... (read more)

“The best kept car hire secret”
Written on: 18/04/2013 by mitchbarnes (1 review written)
I hire a car 5 times a year in the costa blanca and always get ripped of by the rental companies with the full to empty policy. Last time i was charged £90 for a full tank of fuel. Used Solamar in Alicante in April with a full to full fuel fuel policy, the rental cost was 5 more than the cheapestther rental company but there's was a full to empty, so in effect I made a considerable saving as I only do 200km's. The was had 114,000km's on the clock ran ok, clean enough and 4/5 dents on it... (read more)

My wife and I booked this car with an agent in the UK for a 4 day trip on the 28th February 2013. The car was collected from Barcelona airport for our trip to Andorra. The car collection point is quite away from the airport but they did pick us up from the airport arrivals in a mini bus. This was a 10 minute drive. Although we had paid all insurance excesses and cdw charges in the UK we were advised this was not really suitable as we had not insured the car with Sol-Mar directly. And... (read more)

“Former employee”
Written on: 13/03/2013
As a former employee I feel obligated to inform furture customers of Solmar. I don't feel any resentment to my former employer as they we're good to us in better times, but the economic crisis hit this spanish company hard which resulted in poor customer service. 1. Lack of employees results in long waiting times for pick-up, unclean cars, quality failures, unanswered phone calls, unfriendly (stressed) staff, etc 2. Unanswered phone calls. Phone means 'trouble'; unsatisfied customer, break... (read more)

Absolutely agree with this statement having experienced it all as a customer, down to being charged €550 for a broken clutch after driving only 400km in one of their very old, and tired vehicles!

Hello,
I would take a look at Solmars facebook page, they have totally replaced their car hire fleet this year with some top end cars including a lot of fashionable cars. I think they are making an effort. I have always used them and yes I have always had an old car with silly mileage but this year I have been guaranteed a 2013 s-max or Zafira.

We hired a car through Bravo car hire from Alicante airport for October 2012, we were sent a voucher for sol-mar. When we arrived at the airport there was no desk in the terminal, so we had to proceed downstairs to the coach pick up point and look out for a sol-mar shuttle, which we just had to wait until it turned up? We were then taken on a 15-20 minute drive, to the furthest compound for all the off airport car hire companies. We then got out the shuttle handling our cases yet again out... (read more)

This sounds awful. Was just about to use this company, as we have a baby and wanted to use an Alicante Airport car hire company. They don't mention the shuttle bus on their website at all.

“Great Bargain Little Car Fantastic Solmar Service”

I can see why people review this company so badly but I do not agree with most of the reviews. Solmar are very different to the likes of Drivalia or Centauro in the way that their cars are not new. In fact the car we had was 3 years old, had a few scrapes etc but was totally legal. The car had all the legal paperwork, the triangle and yellow jackets, the tyres were all new and the car was clean. I can understand some peoples issues that the cars have done some silly mileages (Ours had... (read more)

This is my own review but I thought I would update it since i have booked a car from 20th May for 2 weeks with solmar again. I joined their facebook page and it clearly shows they wish to stay competitive as they have totally replaced their old fleet with some nice looking stuff like Citroen DS3, Mini coopers and new Lancias. I cannot wait to drive the new 2013 S-max or Zafira that they have booked me.

I have had cars from them on several occasions and they are never very clean, in the last case the 2 front tires were that bald you could see the material. Also the windows washer bottle was empty why? beacuse you could not get the bonnet up. Will never use them again, they might be cheap but is it worth the risk. (read more)

“Very bad company - Beware of hidden charges”
Written on: 20/11/2012
Agency is not located in the airport. Even if you take a full insurance through whatever site you are booking, they are making you signing for an additional insurance to cover excess which is quite high (and higlhy recommended if you are in Spain) Car fleet is old, smelly (tobacco) and car does not function properly to the point of being really not safe. Some of the cars are so old that have to pass MOT already with over 100k in the clock. In top you have to take a full tank + VAT in top of... (read more)

“SOL-MAR 's fuel and price tricks /Barcelona/”
Written on: 03/09/2012 by vctor (1 review written)
Im just after booking, but a good advice: Read carefully Sol-Mar's Fuel Policy! - if you can.. because you receive these infos only after reservation - there is nothing about fueltype,capacity and extracosts at booking! The policy says: Sol-Mar delivers all cars with a full tank of fuel. The car must be returned empty. Solmar will not make any refund for the unused fuel. Diesel extra charge. If the requested vehicle is Diesel there is an extra charge from 3.63 EUR per day (read more)

“Waiting 2.5 hours for Sol-Mar Barcelona shuttle bus”

We rented a car from Sol-Mar through the company hispacar.com. Our voucher said: "The shuttle bus will be waiting for you on arrival." We waited for two and a half hours on the pavement in a very hot Barcelona. We - and several other clients - called the phone numbers on the vouchers, getting no answer or getting the info that the shuttle bus was operating as usual. Finally we ordered a cab; the driver charged us 47 Euros for the trip. On arrival at Sol-Mar we saw the problem: 2 shuttle buses... (read more)

Hired 9 seater for party of 8 through Hipsacar.

I used solmar for a week from Murcia airport and they are just terrible, do not use them. My comments: 1. We had to wait nearly half an hour for the courtesy van to pick us up, there are no signs telling you where to wait or when/whether a van would even arrive 2. I didn't have a printout of the paperwork with me, but I had the confirmation on my smart-phone which proved I had pre-paid. They wouldn't accept this and it took me half an hour of ranting (including threatening to call the... (read more)

We rented a car in Girona and there is absolutely nothing bad to say about this place. We were picked up by car at the airport. Got our car in no time and had no problems at all. When we came back it was same procedure and we were driven back to the airport. The car was very fine and in good condition. I like better when we have have to refill the car with petrol and not leave it empty, but a lot of other rental companies do the same so it is not a complaint. (read more)

Not to be trusted. If you go with them you have to be very cautious whn you get the car.

Arrived at the airport thinking the worst from what I have read on here. There was no queue at the desk and the woman spoke clear English and was very helpful.
The car had every panel damaged with scratches or dents or paint, but the staff didn't worry as I had full insurance.
The car had amazing fuel economy, perhaps 70mpg and it was a Leon.
I would use them again, but as I did this time, I will take out full insurance. good prices and okay service.

This is not Solmars fault, it is the fault of the mis leading sales agents back home. I always book with Solmar but I book direct. I always book their Premium car hire so I know everything is in and all I have to do is pay and take the car.
