Anyone any experience of hiring a car through Solmar at Malaga airport?
I hired a car in January for a week, was quoted 70 euros and offered an upgrade for an extra euro per day which I accepted. The desk assistant at the airport went through the details, offered the insurance, which I declined and I had the weeks hire. When I returned the car it was checked (including the fuel) at the airport by a Solmar staff member and I was told all was fine, I had filled the car up 1 prior to the airport on its return.
Credit card statement arrives and I expect the charge for 77 euro's but my card is charged 121.40 euro's. When I emailed the UK booking agent for a breakdown of this, I am told that I have been charged 44.40 euros for fuel as the 7 day hire operates a collect full return empty policy.
My opinion is I would put a bet on being told at the collection desk that it had a full tank of fuel and should be returned the same way.
Just wondered if anyone else had experienced this with Solmar?
Best regards
Marcus
