Travel guide: Ampara, Sri Lanka (ADP)

What you can compare for ADP

Airport transfers: Airport transfers in ADP are pre-booked rides between the airport and where you are staying, with the price set at booking. Sellers range from single transfer companies to platforms listing many local drivers, and the vehicles from a private car to a minibus.

Airport lounges: Lounge passes and memberships in ADP are sold by the lounges themselves and by programmes that cover many airports. A pass covers a stated lounge, terminal and time window, and the lounge can limit entry when it is full.

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. 20 providers are recorded as covering destinations worldwide: Viator, Welcome Pickups, GetYourGuide, Kiwitaxi, GetTransfer, Klook, Intui, Suntransfers.com, Localrent, DiscoverCars, Carla Car Rental and EconomyBookings 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

• See if the quote already includes tolls and airport charges, or lists them as extras.
• If you land outside daytime hours, read what the provider says about night pickups.
• Compare the cancellation deadline with your flight's own change rules, so both can still be changed together.

How to compare airport lounges

• Refund rules for unused passes differ between sellers.
• Check whether the lounge is before or after passport control for your type of flight.
• Facilities such as showers are listed per lounge; check the one you are buying.

How to compare car rental

• Check the price of extras such as child seats, GPS and an additional driver before you reach the desk.
• Find the exclusions list in the cover terms.
• Check the excess, the amount you pay first in a claim, and what cover is already included.

How to compare flights

• Baggage and seats are often priced separately, so compare fares with the same allowance.
• Note who the seller is on the final page: the airline, or an agency with its own service fees and rules.
• Find the fare's conditions for changing dates or cancelling, which the site links near the price.

Before you book

• Make sure the name on the booking matches your travel document where the provider asks for it.
• Complete payment on the provider's own checkout page.
• 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.

How Aurum fits in

This site is an affiliate guide that compares travel providers and links to them. 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. What you pay and the conditions that apply are decided by the provider. The list comes from Aurum's partner database, which records where each provider's coverage is verified.
