How to compare car rental
If your route leaves the country or ends in another city, check the conditions first.
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.
Read what the provider's cover excludes, such as tyres, glass, the roof and the underside.
Included cover and excess differ between offers; compare those lines as well as the price.
Fuel and mileage rules change the real cost, so read them on the offer.
See which card the main driver needs at the desk and how large the deposit is.
If more than one person will drive, see what the company charges and needs.
Note the pickup location type: in the terminal, a shuttle ride away or in town.
Before you book
Check the currency you are charged in and whether your card adds a foreign transaction fee.
Save your confirmation offline, since you may need it without data.
Only the provider can change a booking, so contact it directly.
Look at how recent the reviews are on the provider's site or a review platform.
Enter names as they appear on your passport when a booking form requests them.
How Aurum fits in
Aurum Transfers is an affiliate guide: it compares providers and links to their sites. No travel service is operated or sold by Aurum itself. 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. 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 IEJ?
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.
Are car rental prices listed on Aurum?
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 rental?
That depends on the provider's terms for the offer you chose. They are shown at checkout and in your confirmation. Aurum cannot change a booking, because it holds none.
How early should I look at 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 does the Where line on a card mean?
The area the partner database records as verified for that provider: worldwide, a country, or named places and airports. The provider's own site confirms whether your exact location is included.
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.
Does this page tell me what to book?
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?
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?
When you book through a link here, the provider may pay Aurum a commission at no extra cost to you. What you pay and the conditions that apply are decided by the provider.
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.
