How to compare car rental
An airport listing may mean a desk in the terminal or a shuttle to a depot; the offer says which.
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.
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.
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.
Before you book
Allow time between booking and travel for confirmation to arrive.
Check accessibility needs with the provider before paying, as not every service can meet them.
A screenshot of the terms you accepted is useful if a question comes up later.
Because prices move with demand, make your comparison in one sitting for identical dates.
Read the cancellation and change terms shown at checkout, which are the ones that bind the booking.
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. Providers are listed only for places their coverage is verified for.
Which car rental providers does Aurum link to for Kingston?
6: Localrent, DiscoverCars, Autoeurope (eu,uk), Qeeq, Carla Car Rental and Bikesbooking.com. Each qualifies through an active link and verified coverage in Aurum's partner database.
Who is my rental contract with?
The rental company named in your booking. Aurum rents nothing itself.
Is car rental coverage the same everywhere?
No. 6 of the 6 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.
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. 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.
