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. 23 providers are recorded as covering destinations worldwide: Viator, Welcome Pickups, GetYourGuide, Kiwitaxi, GetTransfer, Klook, Intui, Suntransfers.com, Stay22, Booking.com, Trip.com Hotels and Expedia 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

• Child seats are usually a request you make at booking; see whether the provider offers them and at what charge.
• Before you fly, write down where the driver meets you and how to reach the provider on the day.
• Road tolls and airport access fees are included by some providers and added by others; the quote says which.

How to compare places to stay

• Find out whether you pay now or at the property, and in which currency.
• Read recent guest reviews on the site, and note the review date as well as the score.
• Some charges are collected at check-in; the rate details list them.

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.
• Check what happens in bad weather: some activities are rescheduled and others refunded.

How to compare car rental

• If your route leaves the country or ends in another city, check the conditions first.
• Take dated photos of the car when you collect and return it.
• Check the price of extras such as child seats, GPS and an additional driver before you reach the desk.

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.
• Check accessibility needs with the provider before paying, as not every service can meet them.

How Aurum fits in

Aurum Transfers compares providers and sends you to their own sites to book. It runs no travel services and handles 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. Prices, availability and terms are always the provider's, shown on its own site. A partner appears here only where its coverage has been verified in Aurum's partner database.
