How to compare car rental
If your route leaves the country or ends in another city, check the conditions first.
Photograph the car at pickup and at return, and keep the fuel receipt.
Extras are priced per day at many desks; add them up in advance.
Find the exclusions list in the cover terms.
Read what the insurance in the price covers and how large the excess is.
Fuel and mileage rules change the real cost, so read them on the offer.
Read the deposit and payment-card requirements before booking.
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
Keep the confirmation email and any voucher where you can open them without a connection.
Changes and questions go to the provider, which is the party holding your booking.
Look at how recent the reviews are on the provider's site or a review platform.
Make sure the name on the booking matches your travel document where the provider asks for it.
Payment belongs on the provider's site; treat off-site payment requests with care.
How Aurum fits in
Aurum Transfers compares providers and sends you to their own sites to book. It does not operate transfers, tours, stays or any other travel service, and it takes no bookings or payments for them. When you book through a link here, the provider may pay Aurum a commission at no extra cost to you. 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.
Which car rental providers does Aurum link to for TNE?
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?
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. Prices change with dates and demand, so they are shown by each provider at the moment you search, not here.
What if I need to 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.
Is it better to book car rental early?
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?
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?
Either it is not one of Aurum's partners or its coverage here has not been recorded. You can still use the checks on this page with any provider.
Should I treat this page as advice?
No. It is information, not a recommendation. Your own needs decide, the provider confirms the specifics, and professional questions belong with a qualified adviser.
Why are these car rental providers shown and not others?
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?
A booking made after following a link may earn Aurum a commission from the provider, without changing your price. 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.
