How to compare car rental

Read what the insurance in the price covers and how large the excess is.
Look for full-to-full fuel and unlimited mileage, or note what applies instead.
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.
Read the rules for one-way rentals and for taking the car across a border.
A photo record of the car's condition helps if a damage question comes up.
Extras are priced per day at many desks; add them up in advance.
Standard cover often leaves out tyres, windscreen and underbody; the terms list the exclusions.

Before you book

Use the provider's own support channel for changes, because it holds the booking.
Recent reviews say more about current service than an overall score.
A name mismatch can cause trouble at the desk, so copy it from your document.
Pay on the provider's secure checkout and be wary of requests to pay outside it.
Compare what is included before comparing the price, since two offers rarely cover the same thing.

Questions and answers

Which car rental providers does Aurum link to for Wakkanai?

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 is my rental contract with?

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.

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.

Can I change or cancel a rental booked through a link here?

Contact the provider you booked with; its terms for your offer decide whether and until when a change is free. Aurum has no access to bookings.

When is the best time to compare car rental?

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.

How should I read Where on a provider 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.

A provider I expected is not listed. Why?

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.

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?

When you book through a link here, the provider may pay Aurum a commission at no extra cost to you. Prices, availability and terms are always the provider's, shown on its own site.

Who do I contact about a booking?

Only the provider can change a booking, so contact it directly. Aurum holds no bookings.
