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

• A transfer you can cancel late is worth more when your flight itself may move.
• Look at whether a quote is for the whole vehicle or for each seat before comparing two prices.
• Enter your flight number when the form asks for it, so the provider can follow the arrival time it shows.

How to compare airport lounges

• Opening times and stay limits are on the pass details; compare them with your flight time.
• Check the inclusions for the specific lounge, not the programme in general.
• Check the rules for children and guests, which each lounge sets itself.

How to compare car rental

• Note the pickup location type: in the terminal, a shuttle ride away or in town.
• 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.
• Check entry and transit requirements for your passport with official government sources before you buy.
• A flexible-date view, where the site has one, shows how the fare moves across the week.

Before you book

• Official travel advisories are the source for safety and entry information.
• 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 compares providers and sends you to their own sites to book. It does not operate transfers, tours, stays or any other travel service, and it takes no bookings or payments for them. A booking made after following a link may earn Aurum a commission from the provider, without changing your price. What you pay and the conditions that apply are decided by the provider. A partner appears here only where its coverage has been verified in Aurum's partner database.
