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

  • Match the vehicle to your luggage, not only your group size, and declare boards, golf bags or wheelchairs.
  • If you travel with children, check whether child seats can be requested and whether they cost extra.
  • Save the meeting instructions and the provider's contact details somewhere you can reach without data.

How to compare places to stay

  • Carry the comparison through to the payment page, where taxes and fees appear on some sites.
  • Check whether the rate is refundable and until when, because the lowest rate is often the least flexible.
  • Use the site's map to check the distance to the places you plan to visit.

How to compare tours and activities

  • Check the inclusions list, since entry tickets, pickup and food are not always part of the headline price.
  • Check the meeting point or pickup area, because not every tour collects from every hotel zone.
  • Free cancellation, where offered, ends at a stated time, so find that time on the listing.

How to compare car rental

  • 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.
  • Find the exclusions list in the cover terms.

Before you book

  • Check the currency you are charged in and whether your card adds a foreign transaction fee.
  • Save your confirmation offline, since you may need it without data.
  • Only the provider can change a booking, so contact it directly.
  • Look at how recent the reviews are on the provider's site or a review platform.
  • Enter names as they appear on your passport when a booking form requests them.
