How to compare airport transfers

  • If you travel with children, check whether child seats can be requested and whether they cost extra.
  • Save the meeting instructions and the provider's contact details somewhere you can reach without data.
  • See if the quote already includes tolls and airport charges, or lists them as extras.

How to compare places to stay

  • Carry the comparison through to the payment page, where taxes and fees appear on some sites.
  • Check whether the rate is refundable and until when, because the lowest rate is often the least flexible.
  • Use the site's map to check the distance to the places you plan to visit.

How to compare tours and activities

  • Weather policies differ by activity, so read whether a cancelled outing is refunded or moved.
  • See whether the ticket is mobile or must be printed, and whether a set entry time applies.
  • A lower price may be entry without a guide, so read what each listing is.

How to compare car rental

  • An airport listing may mean a desk in the terminal or a shuttle to a depot; the offer says which.
  • Read the rules for one-way rentals and for taking the car across a border.
  • A photo record of the car's condition helps if a damage question comes up.

Before you book

  • Enter names as they appear on your passport when a booking form requests them.
  • Payment belongs on the provider's site; treat off-site payment requests with care.
  • A lower price often reflects fewer inclusions, so read both lists.
  • Check official government advice for your destination before you book and again before you travel.
  • Note the provider's deadline for free changes, if it offers one, in your calendar.
