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.
  • Look at the map view to see how far the property is from the beach, the centre or the airport.

How to compare tours and activities

  • Sort the platform's reviews by date and read the most recent for the outing you want.
  • Operators list age and fitness limits and what to bring; check those lines.
  • Weather policies differ by activity, so read whether a cancelled outing is refunded or moved.

How to compare car rental

  • Read the deposit and payment-card requirements before booking.
  • Age limits, additional drivers and licence requirements are in the rental terms.
  • An airport listing may mean a desk in the terminal or a shuttle to a depot; the offer says which.

Before you book

  • Line up the inclusions first; the cheaper offer may simply include less.
  • Official travel advisories are the source for safety and entry information.
  • If free cancellation has a cut-off, set a reminder for it.
  • Book with enough time for the provider to confirm, especially in busy seasons.
  • Accessibility varies; the provider can confirm what it offers.

Who delivers the activities on this page?

Where do I see the price for travel services?

No. Aurum shows no prices for travel services. Each provider shows its own price for your dates on its own site, and that price is the one that applies.

Can I change or cancel a booking booked through a link here?

The provider's cancellation terms apply, as shown when you booked. Go to the provider directly, since the booking is with it and not with Aurum.

Is it better to book travel services early?

There is no single answer, because each provider sets its own availability. Comparing once your dates are known, and choosing an offer that can be changed, keeps your options open.

What is the Where line on each 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.

A provider I expected is not listed. Why?

Either it is not one of Aurum's partners or its coverage here has not been recorded. You can still use the checks on this page with any provider.

Should I treat this page as advice?

No. It is general information to help you compare providers. Confirm the details with the provider, and take insurance, legal or medical questions to a qualified professional.

How does a provider get listed for travel services on Aurum?

Those with an active link and verified coverage on record for the page. A provider without recorded coverage for a place is left off that place's page.

Does booking through a link here cost more?

A booking made after following a link may earn Aurum a commission from the provider, without changing your price. Prices, availability and terms are always the provider's, shown on its own site.

Who do I contact about a booking?

Only the provider can change a booking, so contact it directly. Aurum holds no bookings.
