How to compare car rental
Take dated photos of the car when you collect and return it.
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.
Before you book
Complete payment on the provider's own checkout page.
A lower price often reflects fewer inclusions, so read both lists.
Government travel advice can change; read it when booking and before departure.
If free cancellation has a cut-off, set a reminder for it.
Allow time between booking and travel for confirmation to arrive.
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 ISJ?
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.
Does Aurum rent cars?
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.
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.
Can I change or cancel a rental booked through a link here?
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.
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.
How should I read Where on a provider 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.
Why is a provider I have used missing from this page?
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.
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.
How does a provider get listed for car rental on Aurum?
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. What you pay and the conditions that apply are decided by the provider.
Who do I contact about a booking?
Only the provider can change a booking, so contact it directly. Aurum holds no bookings.
