What airport transfers cover

A pre-booked transfer takes you between the airport and your address for a price you see before you pay. Private cars, shared shuttles and group vehicles all sit in this category, sold either by one operator or by a platform that lists many. The company you book with supplies the driver and the vehicle, and its terms decide what happens when a flight is late.

How to compare airport transfers

  • A transfer you can cancel late is worth more when your flight itself may move.
  • A per-seat shuttle fare and a per-vehicle private fare are not the same thing, so compare like with like.
  • If the booking form has a flight number field, fill it in; providers use it to follow your arrival.
  • Waiting time after landing differs between providers, so read that line before you book.
  • Count bags as well as people: vehicle classes are sized for both, and oversized items often need to be declared.
  • Child seats are usually a request you make at booking; see whether the provider offers them and at what charge.
  • Note the meeting point the provider gives and the phone number or chat it lists for the day of travel.
  • Check whether tolls, parking and airport fees are inside the quoted price.
  • If you land outside daytime hours, read what the provider says about night pickups.

Before you book

  • Payment belongs on the provider's site; treat off-site payment requests with care.
  • Line up the inclusions first; the cheaper offer may simply include less.
  • Check official government advice for your destination before you book and again before you travel.
  • If free cancellation has a cut-off, set a reminder for it.
  • Allow time between booking and travel for confirmation to arrive.

A partner appears here only where its coverage has been verified in Aurum's partner database.

Questions and answers

Who do I pay?

The partner on the link. Aurum does not take the fare.

Where do I see today's rate?

On that partner's page. See today's fare there.

Where is the disclosure?

Beside the links, and in full on the affiliate disclosure page.

Which airport transfers providers does Aurum link to?

10: Viator, Welcome Pickups, Amstar, GetYourGuide, Kiwitaxi, GetTransfer, Klook, Intui, Carmel Limousine and Suntransfers.com. Each qualifies through an active link and verified coverage in Aurum's partner database.

Who runs the rides on this page?

The provider named on the card, or its local partner, runs the ride. Aurum is an affiliate guide and operates no vehicles.

Is airport transfer coverage the same everywhere?

No. 8 of the 10 providers here are recorded as worldwide; the rest are verified for named countries or places. The "Where" line on each card states it.

Where do I see the price for airport transfers?

No. Prices change with dates and demand, so they are shown by each provider at the moment you search, not here.

What if I need to cancel a transfer?

That depends on the provider's terms for the offer you chose. They are shown at checkout and in your confirmation. Aurum cannot change a booking, because it holds none.

When is the best time to compare airport transfers?

There is no single answer, because each provider sets its own availability. Comparing once your dates are known, and choosing an offer that can be changed, keeps your options open.

What is the Where line on each card?

The area the partner database records as verified for that provider: worldwide, a country, or named places and airports. The provider's own site confirms whether your exact location is included.

A provider I expected is not listed. Why?

It may not be an Aurum partner, or its coverage of this place may not be recorded yet. The points on this page apply to any airport transfers provider you compare, listed here or not.

Is this page advice?

No. It sets out what to compare and where coverage is recorded. The provider confirms the details, and a qualified professional is the right source for insurance, legal or medical questions.

Why are these airport transfers providers shown and not others?

Those with an active link and verified coverage on record for the page. A provider without recorded coverage for a place is left off that place's page.

Does booking through a link here cost more?

The links here are paid, which means the provider may pay Aurum a commission, and your price stays the same. What you pay and the conditions that apply are decided by the provider.

Who do I contact about a booking?

Use the provider's own support channel for changes, because it holds the booking. Aurum holds no bookings.
