How to compare car rental
If your route leaves the country or ends in another city, check the conditions first.
A photo record of the car's condition helps if a damage question comes up.
Check the price of extras such as child seats, GPS and an additional driver before you reach the desk.
Find the exclusions list in the cover terms.
Read what the insurance in the price covers and how large the excess is.
Fuel and mileage rules change the real cost, so read them on the offer.
Most desks hold a deposit on a card in the main driver's name; the terms give the amount and the card type.
If more than one person will drive, see what the company charges and needs.
An airport listing may mean a desk in the terminal or a shuttle to a depot; the offer says which.
Before you book
Keep the confirmation email and any voucher where you can open them without a connection.
Changes and questions go to the provider, which is the party holding your booking.
Look at how recent the reviews are on the provider's site or a review platform.
A name mismatch can cause trouble at the desk, so copy it from your document.
Complete payment on the provider's own checkout page.
How Aurum fits in
Aurum Transfers is an affiliate guide: it compares providers and links to their sites. It runs no travel services and handles 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. Prices, availability and terms are always the provider's, shown on its own site. The list comes from Aurum's partner database, which records where each provider's coverage is verified.
Which car rental providers does Aurum link to for Hiroshima?
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?
The rental company named in your booking. Aurum rents nothing itself.
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?
No. Aurum shows no prices for car rental. Each provider shows its own price for your dates on its own site, and that price is the one that applies.
What if I need to cancel a rental?
Contact the provider you booked with; its terms for your offer decide whether and until when a change is free. Aurum has no access to bookings.
When is the best time to compare car rental?
Providers release and price their own availability. Look once your travel dates are firm, and read how late each offer can be cancelled.
What is the Where line on each card?
It is the provider's verified coverage as recorded in Aurum's partner database: a country, named places or airports, or worldwide. It is not a promise that every address inside that area is served, so confirm yours with the provider.
What if a provider I know is not shown here?
Aurum lists only its partners, and only where their coverage is recorded. A missing name says nothing about that provider's quality; the same checks apply to it.
Should I treat this page as advice?
No. It is general information to help you compare providers. Confirm the details with the provider, and take insurance, legal or medical questions to a qualified professional.
Which car rental providers appear on a page?
The list comes from Aurum's partner database. A provider appears where its link is active and its coverage of the place, airport or country is recorded as verified.
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.
