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.
• Compare the cancellation deadline with your flight's own change rules, so both can still be changed together.

How to compare airport lounges

• Guest and child policies differ, so read them if you are not travelling alone.
• Note whether a booking guarantees entry or whether access is subject to space on the day.
• Refund rules for unused passes differ between sellers.

How to compare car rental

• Take dated photos of the car when you collect and return it.
• Child seats and extra drivers are charged separately, so include them in your comparison.
• Standard cover often leaves out tyres, windscreen and underbody; the terms list the exclusions.

How to compare flights

• If your dates can move, use the calendar view to compare days.
• Look at which airport each fare uses before comparing prices.
• Read the baggage rules of every airline on a journey with more than one airline, as they can differ per flight.

Before you book

• Last-minute bookings may not be confirmed at once, so leave time.
• If you need step-free access or other help, ask the provider first.
• Keep a record of what the offer said when you booked.
• Prices on provider sites change with dates and demand, so compare on the same day for the same dates.
• Whatever a summary says, the conditions at checkout govern your booking.

How Aurum fits in

Aurum Transfers is an affiliate guide: it compares providers and links to their sites. 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. What you pay and the conditions that apply are decided by the provider. The list comes from Aurum's partner database, which records where each provider's coverage is verified.
