How to compare car rental
Child seats and extra drivers are charged separately, so include them in your comparison.
Standard cover often leaves out tyres, windscreen and underbody; the terms list the exclusions.
Included cover and excess differ between offers; compare those lines as well as the price.
Check the fuel policy and the mileage allowance.
See which card the main driver needs at the desk and how large the deposit is.
Age limits, additional drivers and licence requirements are in the rental terms.
Note the pickup location type: in the terminal, a shuttle ride away or in town.
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.
Before you book
Pay on the provider's secure checkout and be wary of requests to pay outside it.
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.
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.
How Aurum fits in
Aurum Transfers compares providers and sends you to their own sites to book. It does not operate transfers, tours, stays or any other travel service, and it takes no bookings or payments for them. A booking made after following a link may earn Aurum a commission from the provider, without changing your price. What you pay and the conditions that apply are decided by the provider. Providers are listed only for places their coverage is verified for.
Which car rental providers does Aurum link to for HHE?
7: Localrent, DiscoverCars, Carla Car Rental, EconomyBookings, Autoeurope (eu,uk), Bikesbooking.com and Qeeq. Each qualifies through an active link and verified coverage in Aurum's partner database.
Who supplies the car?
No. The car is supplied by the rental company on your voucher. Aurum compares providers and links to them.
Is car rental coverage the same everywhere?
No. 7 of the 7 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 car rental?
On the provider's site. Aurum lists providers and where their coverage is verified; the provider gives the price for your dates.
What if I need to cancel a rental?
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.
When is the best time to compare car rental?
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 is the Where line on each card?
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.
What if a provider I know is not shown here?
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 car rental provider you compare, listed here or not.
Should I treat this page as 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.
Which car rental providers appear on a page?
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. The provider sets price, availability and terms, and shows them on its 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.
