Where coverage is verified

Coverage comes from the coverage records in Aurum's partner database, which list the countries, places and airports each provider is verified for. 23 providers are recorded as covering destinations worldwide: Viator, Welcome Pickups, GetYourGuide, Kiwitaxi, GetTransfer, Klook, Intui, Suntransfers.com, Stay22, Booking.com, Trip.com Hotels and Expedia and others. A provider is shown on a place page only where its coverage of that place, its airport or its country is on record.

How to compare airport transfers

  • If the booking form has a flight number field, fill it in; providers use it to follow your arrival.
  • Read how long the driver waits after landing and what the provider charges once that time runs out.
  • State every passenger and every large bag, because the vehicle class is chosen from both.

How to compare places to stay

  • Occupancy limits and extra-bed charges are in the room description.
  • Look at the final total with taxes and charges, not only the nightly figure in the search results.
  • Check whether the rate is refundable and until when, because the lowest rate is often the least flexible.

How to compare tours and activities

  • Look at the cancellation deadline shown for the activity, which differs between listings on the same platform.
  • Group size, length and guide language are on the listing and worth a look before booking.
  • Read recent reviews for the specific activity on the platform, sorted by newest where the site allows it.

How to compare car rental

  • If more than one person will drive, see what the company charges and needs.
  • 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.

Before you book

  • Save your confirmation offline, since you may need it without data.
  • 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.

Providers release and price their own availability. Look once your travel dates are firm, and read how late each offer can be cancelled.

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.

Why is a provider I have used missing from this page?
