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

• State every passenger and every large bag, because the vehicle class is chosen from both.
• Families should look for the child-seat option on the provider's form before paying.
• Save the meeting instructions and the provider's contact details somewhere you can reach without data.

How to compare airport lounges

• A lounge beyond a control point you will not pass is of no use, so check its position.
• If you want a shower or a quiet area, confirm the specific lounge has one and whether it costs extra.
• Work out how many visits you will make before weighing a membership against single passes.

How to compare car rental

• Most desks hold a deposit on a card in the main driver's name; the terms give the amount and the card type.
• 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.

How to compare flights

• Check the airports in the result, since a city can have more than one and the cheaper fare may use another.
• Where more than one airline flies the journey, each may apply its own baggage rule.
• Some sellers allow a short free-cancellation window after booking; the terms say whether yours does.

Before you book

• Check official government advice for your destination before you book and again before you travel.
• Write down the last date for a free change.
• Book with enough time for the provider to confirm, especially in busy seasons.
• If you need step-free access or other help, ask the provider first.
• Keep a record of what the offer said when you booked.

How Aurum fits in

Aurum Transfers is an affiliate guide: it compares providers and links to their sites. It runs no travel services and handles 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. Prices, availability and terms are always the provider's, shown on its own site. The list comes from Aurum's partner database, which records where each provider's coverage is verified.
