How to compare airport transfers

  • State every passenger and every large bag, because the vehicle class is chosen from both.
  • Families should look for the child-seat option on the provider's form before paying.
  • Note the meeting point the provider gives and the phone number or chat it lists for the day of travel.

How to compare airport lounges

  • Work out how many visits you will make before weighing a membership against single passes.
  • Check that the lounge is in your departure terminal and on the side of security you will be on.
  • Make sure the lounge is open when you fly and that the stay length suits your wait.

How to compare car rental

  • Look for full-to-full fuel and unlimited mileage, or note what applies instead.
  • Most desks hold a deposit on a card in the main driver's name; the terms give the amount and the card type.
  • Check driver age rules, extra-driver fees and the licence you must show.

How to compare flights

  • Check what the fare includes, since cabin bags, checked bags and seat selection are extras on many fares.
  • The seller named at checkout is who you contact for changes, so note it.
  • Fare rules on changes and cancellation differ widely; open them before you buy.

Before you book

  • Changes and questions go to the provider, which is the party holding your booking.
  • Check review dates, not only ratings.
  • Make sure the name on the booking matches your travel document where the provider asks for it.
  • Complete payment on the provider's own checkout page.
  • Compare what is included before comparing the price, since two offers rarely cover the same thing.
