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.

How to compare airport lounges

Some passes reserve a place and others are subject to capacity; the terms say which.
Check what happens to your payment if your flight changes.
Check whether the lounge is before or after passport control for your type of flight.

How to compare car rental

Check driver age rules, extra-driver fees and the licence you must show.
Check where the desk is and its opening hours against your arrival time.
Read the rules for one-way rentals and for taking the car across a border.

How to compare flights

Note who the seller is on the final page: the airline, or an agency with its own service fees and rules.
Fare rules on changes and cancellation differ widely; open them before you buy.
Look at connection times and whether one booking covers the whole journey.

Before you book

Check official government advice for your destination before you book and again before you travel.
Note the provider's deadline for free changes, if it offers one, in your calendar.
Last-minute bookings may not be confirmed at once, so leave time.

Questions and answers

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.

Who do I pay for lounge access?

No. Passes are sold by the provider you choose. Aurum is an affiliate guide.

Who is my rental contract with?

No. The car is supplied by the rental company on your voucher. Aurum compares providers and links to them.

Does Aurum show prices for travel services?

On the provider's site. Aurum lists providers and where their coverage is verified; the provider gives the price for your dates.

How do I change or cancel a booking?

The provider's cancellation terms apply, as shown when you booked. Go to the provider directly, since the booking is with it and not with Aurum.

Is it better to book travel services early?

Availability and prices are set by each provider and move with demand. If your dates are fixed, compare early and check each offer's free-cancellation terms, so a booking can still be changed.

What does the Where line on a card mean?

It states where the provider's coverage is recorded as verified in Aurum's partner database, as a country, named places, airports or worldwide. Check your exact address or airport on the provider's site.

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 travel services 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 travel services 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.

Why does this page show no providers for some categories for Abha?

Because no provider's coverage of Abha is recorded as verified in Aurum's partner database for airport transfers, airport lounges, car rental and flights. A provider appears on a place page once its coverage of that place, its airport or its country is on record.

Does booking through a link here cost more?

A booking made after following a link may earn Aurum a commission from the provider, without changing your price. Prices, availability and terms are always the provider's, shown on its own site.

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.
