Sol-Mar is a Spanish car hire company, mainly operating at Spanish airports. It has offices at Girona airport and Barcelona airport, but doesn´t have any in Barcelona centre.
Sol Mar is a smaller Spanish car hire company, and most of their offices are found at Spanish airports. The prices are very reasonable and they have a wide range of vehicles on offer, from automatics to convertibles. Their airport office is a little further from the airport than the other car hire companies, but they offer a shuttle service from the airport to their office. It´s worth checking their prices as they can offer very reasonable rates, especially since they are open 24 hours, 7 days a week (with advance booking).

I've been using Solmar at Gerona airport for nearly 7 years and would not think of changing. Always get a new clean car. Staff at Gerona Airport are always very friendly and helpful. Highly recommended by a frequent traveller to Spain.

Very poor experience
Old car (over 60000 km), broken luggage shelf didn't close and air conditioning didn't work.
Scam on deposit. This is charged to ones credit card. On return it is refunded. However If your card is in another currency n each occasion one has to pay currency conversion charges which added up to a lot as the excess was 600 euro. All other companies I have used just keep a credit card reserve but don't charge for it unless needed.
Credit card machine does not work either

I was trying trying to pick up a reserved car and pay for it, but my credit card did not work out. We tried all the cards we had about us, and all the 4 CCs (!!!) didn't work out. The CC machine was showing a queer error, the officer could not explain what it meant. He didn't even have an idea to check with their bank, though I asked him a couple times. He just kept repeating that the problem was with all our 4 CCs, but couldn't say what the problem was.
Well, the story ended up by our going to another Rent-a-car in airport (GoldCar) where we had no problem with the card at all.
All that resulted in loss of about an hour of my time in the office (+ some time for reservation over Internet) and loss of a couple hundreds euros, becuase prices for early reservations and the ones we get 'at place' differ greatly.
The personnel was very unfriendly, I would even say rude, and wasn't willing to solve the problem. All they wanted - to get rid of me, and they succeeded. Definitely, I will never chose this company again, it does not deserve a single star out of five!
thanks for the info
