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

  • See if the quote already includes tolls and airport charges, or lists them as extras.
  • For a late-night or early-morning arrival, confirm the provider serves that hour and whether a night surcharge applies.
  • Line up the transfer's free-cancellation cut-off with how flexible your flight ticket is.

How to compare airport lounges

  • Domestic and international departures can use different lounges; confirm which side yours is on.
  • Facilities such as showers are listed per lounge; check the one you are buying.
  • Compare a single pass with a membership only if you expect several visits in the period.

How to compare car rental

  • A photo record of the car's condition helps if a damage question comes up.
  • Check the price of extras such as child seats, GPS and an additional driver before you reach the desk.
  • Standard cover often leaves out tyres, windscreen and underbody; the terms list the exclusions.

How to compare flights

  • Note the fare's deadline for free cancellation, if the seller offers one.
  • Look at the baggage line of each fare before deciding that one is cheaper.
  • Note who the seller is on the final page: the airline, or an agency with its own service fees and rules.

Before you book

  • Complete payment on the provider's own checkout page.
  • Line up the inclusions first; the cheaper offer may simply include less.
  • Check official government advice for your destination before you book and again before you travel.
  • If free cancellation has a cut-off, set a reminder for it.
  • Allow time between booking and travel for confirmation to arrive.

Who is my rental contract with?

With the rental company at the desk. Aurum is an affiliate guide and holds no bookings.

Does Aurum show prices for travel services?

No. Prices change with dates and demand, so they are shown by each provider at the moment you search, not here.

How do I change or cancel a booking?

That depends on the provider's terms for the offer you chose. They are shown at checkout and in your confirmation. Aurum cannot change a booking, because it holds none.

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 does the Where line on a card mean?

The area the partner database records as verified for that provider: worldwide, a country, or named places and airports. The provider's own site confirms whether your exact location is included.

Why is a provider I have used missing from this page?

It may not be an Aurum partner, or its coverage of this place may not be recorded yet. The points on this page apply to any travel services provider you compare, listed here or not.

Does this page tell me what to book?

No. It sets out what to compare and where coverage is recorded. The provider confirms the details, and a qualified professional is the right source for insurance, legal or medical questions.

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. The provider sets price, availability and terms, and shows them on its site.

Who do I contact about a booking?

Changes and questions go to the provider, which is the party holding your booking. Aurum holds no bookings.
