How to compare car rental
Age limits, additional drivers and licence requirements are in the rental terms.
Check where the desk is and its opening hours against your arrival time.
Dropping the car elsewhere or crossing a border usually needs to be agreed in advance.
Take dated photos of the car when you collect and return it.
Check the price of extras such as child seats, GPS and an additional driver before you reach the desk.
Standard cover often leaves out tyres, windscreen and underbody; the terms list the exclusions.
Read what the insurance in the price covers and how large the excess is.
Look for full-to-full fuel and unlimited mileage, or note what applies instead.
Read the deposit and payment-card requirements before booking.
Before you book
Check accessibility needs with the provider before paying, as not every service can meet them.
Keep a record of what the offer said when you booked.
Prices on provider sites change with dates and demand, so compare on the same day for the same dates.
The terms on the checkout page are the ones that apply, so read them there.
Note the billing currency; your bank may add a fee for a foreign-currency charge.
How Aurum fits in
This site is an affiliate guide that compares travel providers and links to them. It does not operate transfers, tours, stays or any other travel service, and it takes no bookings or payments for them. The links here are paid, which means the provider may pay Aurum a commission, and your price stays the same. The provider sets price, availability and terms, and shows them on its site. A partner appears here only where its coverage has been verified in Aurum's partner database.
