How to compare airport transfers

  • Find the included waiting time in the terms, and what happens when immigration or baggage takes longer.
  • Match the vehicle to your luggage, not only your group size, and declare boards, golf bags or wheelchairs.
  • 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.
  • Line up the transfer's free-cancellation cut-off with how flexible your flight ticket is.
  • Check whether the price is per vehicle or per person, since a shared shuttle and a private car are priced differently.
  • Give the flight number where the provider asks, because that is how it learns about a changed arrival time.

Before you book

  • Payment belongs on the provider's site; treat off-site payment requests with care.
  • Compare what is included before comparing the price, since two offers rarely cover the same thing.
  • Official travel advisories are the source for safety and entry information.
  • Write down the last date for a free change.
  • Book with enough time for the provider to confirm, especially in busy seasons.

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.

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 operates the airport transfers listed here?

Each transfer is operated by the provider you book with, or by a local company it works with. Aurum compares providers and links to them; it does not run rides.

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.

What if a provider I know is not shown here?

Either it is not one of Aurum's partners or its coverage here has not been recorded. You can still use the checks on this page with any provider.

Should I treat this page as advice?

No. It is information, not a recommendation. Your own needs decide, the provider confirms the specifics, and professional questions belong with a qualified adviser.

Which airport transfers providers appear on a page?

A provider is listed from Aurum's partner database when it has an active link and coverage on record for the page. Where no coverage is on record for a place, no provider is shown for it.

Does booking through a link here cost more?

When you book through a link here, the provider may pay Aurum a commission at no extra cost to you. Prices, availability and terms are always the provider's, shown on its own site.

Who do I contact about a booking?

Only the provider can change a booking, so contact it directly. Aurum holds no bookings.
