Need a rental car to get you back on the road? Your Costco membership actually gives you access to a car rental service, but you won’t find it in a store.
Whether it’s a road trip or needing a temporary set of wheels while yours is in the shop, rental cars are a service that many of us need eventually. Potential renters have plenty of choices, including Enterprise Rent-A-Car, Hertz, Avis, Budget Car Rental and more. Different rental companies offer different perks, too. While one may have a better price, another may have better vehicle choices or more standard tech options. It can be overwhelming to choose the best rental company for your needs, but a Costco membership may simplify the process.
Costco offers rental car services through the Costco Travel program, a service exclusively for Costco members in the U.S. Staffed by Costco employees that are also trained professionals in the travel industry, the service provides help with booking hotels, cruises, and rental cars. Using Costco Travel, renters have access to discounts from select companies including Enterprise, Budget, Alamo, and Avis.
