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

• Child seats are usually a request you make at booking; see whether the provider offers them and at what charge.
• Before you fly, write down where the driver meets you and how to reach the provider on the day.
• Check whether tolls, parking and airport fees are inside the quoted price.

How to compare airport lounges

• Guest and child policies differ, so read them if you are not travelling alone.
• Some passes reserve a place and others are subject to capacity; the terms say which.
• Read the cancellation terms of the pass before you pay.

How to compare car rental

• Check where the desk is and its opening hours against your arrival time.
• Dropping the car elsewhere or crossing a border usually needs to be agreed in advance.
• Take dated photos of the car when you collect and return it.

How to compare flights

• Connections sold as separate tickets are not protected the same way as a single ticket, so check how yours is built.
• Before paying, check the official entry requirements for every country on your route.
• A flexible-date view, where the site has one, shows how the fare moves across the week.

Before you book

• 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.
• A lower price often reflects fewer inclusions, so read both lists.
• Check official government advice for your destination before you book and again before you travel.
• Note the provider's deadline for free changes, if it offers one, in your calendar.

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. The links here are paid, which means the provider may pay Aurum a commission, and your price stays the same. The provider sets price, availability and terms, and shows them on its site. The list comes from Aurum's partner database, which records where each provider's coverage is verified.
