How to compare car rental
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.
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.
Find the exclusions list in the cover terms.
Before you book
Enter names as they appear on your passport when a booking form requests them.
Payment belongs on the provider's site; treat off-site payment requests with care.
A lower price often reflects fewer inclusions, so read both lists.
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.
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.

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.
Does Aurum show prices for car rental?

A provider I expected is not listed. Why?
