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

• See if the quote already includes tolls and airport charges, or lists them as extras.
• If you land outside daytime hours, read what the provider says about night pickups.
• Line up the transfer's free-cancellation cut-off with how flexible your flight ticket is.

How to compare airport lounges

• Check the rules for children and guests, which each lounge sets itself.
• Find out whether your pass is a reservation or a right to enter when there is room.
• Refund rules for unused passes differ between sellers.

How to compare car rental

• Read the deposit and payment-card requirements before booking.
• Age limits, additional drivers and licence requirements are in the rental terms.
• Check where the desk is and its opening hours against your arrival time.

How to compare flights

• Baggage and seats are often priced separately, so compare fares with the same allowance.
• Note who the seller is on the final page: the airline, or an agency with its own service fees and rules.
• Find the fare's conditions for changing dates or cancelling, which the site links near the price.

Before you book

• A name mismatch can cause trouble at the desk, so copy it from your document.
• Pay on the provider's secure checkout and be wary of requests to pay outside it.
• Compare what is included before comparing the price, since two offers rarely cover the same thing.
• Government travel advice can change; read it when booking and before departure.
• Note the provider's deadline for free changes, if it offers one, in your calendar.

How Aurum fits in

Aurum Transfers is an affiliate guide: it compares providers and links to their sites. No travel service is operated or sold by Aurum itself. The links here are paid, which means the provider may pay Aurum a commission, and your price stays the same. The provider sets price, availability and terms, and shows them on its site. The list comes from Aurum's partner database, which records where each provider's coverage is verified.
