How to compare car rental

Read the rules for one-way rentals and for taking the car across a border.
Photograph the car at pickup and at return, and keep the fuel receipt.
Child seats and extra drivers are charged separately, so include them in your comparison.
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.
Most desks hold a deposit on a card in the main driver's name; the terms give the amount and the card type.
Check driver age rules, extra-driver fees and the licence you must show.
An airport listing may mean a desk in the terminal or a shuttle to a depot; the offer says which.

Before you book

Compare what is included before comparing the price, since two offers rarely cover the same thing.
Government travel advice can change; read it when booking and before departure.
If free cancellation has a cut-off, set a reminder for it.
Book with enough time for the provider to confirm, especially in busy seasons.
Accessibility varies; the provider can confirm what it offers.

Questions and answers

Which car rental providers does Aurum link to for Montego Bay?

7: EconomyBookings, 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. 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.

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.

Is it better to book car rental early?

There is no single answer, because each provider sets its own availability. Comparing once your dates are known, and choosing an offer that can be changed, keeps your options open.

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.

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.

Why are these car rental providers shown and not others?

A provider is listed from Aurum's partner database when it has an active link and coverage on record for the page. Where no coverage is on record for a place, no provider is shown for it.

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?

Changes and questions go to the provider, which is the party holding your booking. Aurum holds no bookings.
