Everything you need to know about Costco Travel — and why I love it for saving money

Madison Blancaflor

Costco isn't just the place where you can buy toilet paper in bulk, inexpensive gas, cheap hot dogs and gift cards. You can also book great trips via the company's online travel agency, Costco Travel.

I know, I know: At TPG, we're often staunchly against booking travel through third-party sites , as there can be tradeoffs versus booking directly. But in recent years, I've become a big fan of the travel deals I can find via Costco Travel.

When planning our annual beach trip back in 2022, my best friend found a few options for Mexican all-inclusive resorts on Costco Travel and shared the links with me. I promptly told her we'd probably be better off booking directly and brushed off the idea of booking through Costco — neither of us even had a membership at the time.

However, comparing the prices and benefits at a few of the resorts proved my initial reaction wrong.

I actually got a Costco membership to book the deal since the cost of the membership was less than what we'd save by booking through Costco. We saved around $300 on a three-night stay at TRS Coral near Cancun (one of TPG's best all-inclusive resorts in Cancun ), not including the free hydrotherapy spa circuit and the $241 Digital Costco Shop Card included in the package.

Our stay was fantastic, and I officially became a Costco Travel convert.

If you're curious about how to use Costco Travel to find deals, here's everything you need to know about Costco Travel — and why I love it for saving money on travel.

What is Costco Travel?

costco travel car booking

All Costco members have access to the Costco Travel booking platform, where you can find and book a wide range of travel — from vacation packages to hotels, cruises and rental cars. You can even book theme park vacation packages to Disney and Universal or specialty vacations such as an African safari.

Once you log in to Costco Travel, you can search for specific dates or destinations or browse through available deals and featured destinations. I personally love perusing the limited-time deals when I know I want to plan a getaway but don't have a specific destination in mind.

Trips booked through Costco Travel are often discounted and/or include perks and benefits you may not get by booking directly or through other booking portals. Usually, a trip booked through Costco Travel will also include a Digital Costco Shop Card (essentially a type of Costco gift card) of varying value.

What travel can you book through Costco Travel?

You can book hotels, cruises, rental cars and vacation packages through Costco Travel. Vacation packages range from hotel-only offers to all-encompassing packages that include airfare, hotel stays and rental cars. You can even build your own package.

costco travel car booking

However, one thing to note is that you can't book stand-alone flights via Costco Travel. There is an option to book flights through some vacation packages, but if you're only looking for airfare, you'll want to head to Google Flights to check out your options and book.

You can book Costco Travel offers both online and by phone.

Do you have to be a Costco member to use Costco Travel?

Yes. Costco Travel is an exclusive service for Costco members.

There are two personal membership levels: Gold Star and Executive. Gold Star costs $60 per year, while an Executive membership costs $120. The basic membership will give you access to all of Costco's services, including Costco Travel, while the Executive membership also comes with a 2% reward on all Costco (and Costco Travel) purchases.

I've found that the Costco Travel deals alone are worth paying the $60 Gold Star annual membership fee, even though I don't regularly use Costco for my grocery store runs.

Check sites like Groupon for discount Costco memberships, as you can sometimes save on that rate — or get an included gift card that helps offset the cost.

Is Costo Travel worth it?

Costco Travel has its pros and cons, but there are definitely times when it's worth it.

For example, let's look at a five-night stay in Maui in early April. At the time of writing, Costco is currently offering a hotel and rental car package for Hotel Wailea, a Relais & Chateaux affiliated property and one of TPG's favorite Maui hotels .

Here's one cost comparison breakdown of Costco Travel's deal versus booking directly:

costco travel car booking

Even without including the additional benefits, you're already saving more than $400 via the Costco deal. Add in the value you get from the card, daily breakfast and resort credit (which is more than $1,000 in value if you maximize all benefits), and you're looking at $1,442.45 in savings by booking through Costco Travel versus directly.

And since Hotel Wailea isn't a member of any major hotel loyalty program, booking through Costco Travel wouldn't mean missing out on elite night credits or other loyalty program benefits.

Here's another example — this time for a Universal Orlando theme park trip from June 4-6 for one adult and two children from Houston. The total cost when booking each part (hotel, tickets and airfare) individually came to $2,701.35, while booking it as a package via Costco saved just over $300.

costco travel car booking

That's a fair amount of savings you could use for some frozen butterbeer or even a new wand inside the Wizarding World of Harry Potter .

When is Costco Travel not worth it?

Not every offer on Costco is worth booking.

For one, you won't necessarily find the same availability on Costco Travel. For example, flights booked through Costco may have some seats blocked off, and certain dates for hotel stays may be unavailable. Additionally, not all rental car companies are bookable through Costco Travel (such as Hertz*, which is my preferred rental car company due to the perks I get through my Capital One Venture X Rewards Credit Card ).

Plus, some hotel stays have a minimum stay requirement. If you're on the hunt for a long weekend getaway, you may not be able to take advantage of some Costco Travel deals.

costco travel car booking

Even when you do find availability, you should always price-check what you can find by booking directly or through your credit card travel portal and hotel programs.

After booking our fantastic stay at TRS Coral just north of Cancun through Costco, I looked at booking through Costco again in 2023 when planning our annual beach vacation.

While Costco had a deal available for the same resort, we happened to be booking when the resort chain was having a Mother's Day sale for anyone booking directly. We were able to try out a new TRS resort closer to Playa Del Carmen, TRS Yucatan; we saved more than $100 on an even nicer suite than Costco Travel offered by booking directly (even when considering the Digital Shop Card we would have gotten by booking with Costco).

Something else to consider when booking hotels through Costco Travel is loyalty program rewards and elite status. There are a lot of hotels available to book through Costco Travel that are part of major loyalty programs, from Hyatt Honors to Marriott Bonvoy to IHG One Rewards and more. But booking through Costco Travel — just like booking through most other third-party services such as Expedia — means you likely won't earn loyalty rewards, elite night credits or have any elite night benefits honored.

You'll also have to use Costco customer service if you run into any issues rather than going directly to the brand. This is especially important when considering booking a vacation package that includes flights, given the higher potential for delays or cancellations.

Why I love Costco Travel

I am typically a staunch proponent of booking directly, but Costco Travel is an exception. I've found that the benefits I can get by booking some trips via Costco outweigh the cons (some of which include having to go through Costco for any customer service help or occasionally losing out on elite night credits).

Digital Costco Shop Cards

My favorite thing about booking trips through Costco Travel is the Digital Costco Shop Card I get after booking. The card's value varies from trip to trip (generally depending on how expensive the package you book), but you can get hundreds of dollars back to use at Costco.

The Digital Costco Shop Cards can be used for Costco warehouse purchases (a game changer with grocery prices so high due to inflation), but you can also use them toward future Costco Travel bookings. And remember — Costco doesn't just carry bulk grocery items. You could use a Digital Costco Shop Card to buy a new flat-screen TV for movie nights and game days, a new outdoor patio setup ahead of summer or even Costco Pharmacy prescriptions.

I admittedly don't use Costco for groceries often (buying in bulk doesn't make a lot of sense for someone who lives alone), but I have used shop cards to help pay for Christmas presents and future Costco Travel trips. I've actually been looking into using my most recent Digital Costco Shop Card on a new pair of AirPods and a new TV mount for my living room.

Deals on non-points hotel stays and all-inclusive resorts

When I'm looking at booking a hotel stay at a brand like Hyatt or Marriott, I generally choose to book directly in order to earn elite night credits and points. However, when looking at properties not part of a major loyalty program, Costco Travel is often a go-to anytime I can find a deal.

Costco Travel has a nice deals section, and I usually look there first if I'm not sold on a specific destination for a getaway. While deals found on Costco generally have a narrow booking window, I've found that many offer a lot of flexibility for the actual trip dates.

A few examples of limited-time deals for January include Hotel Wailea from the example earlier in this guide, all-inclusive resorts in Mexico's Riviera Maya, and Disney and Universal theme park packages.

costco travel car booking

Simplifying group vacations

I'm often the travel planner in my friend group (which makes sense, considering what I do for a living), but not everyone is an avid points and miles user like myself. For group trips where we're splitting the cost of hotel rooms among multiple people, it often doesn't make sense to use points and miles to book.

Costco Travel vacation packages offer a way for all of us to save money, and it makes narrowing down potential destinations and hotels easier. Rather than everyone having to spend hours researching ideas and prices from across the internet — which might be my idea of a fun Wednesday night but isn't for some of my friends — I typically just send them to Costco Travel to see if any of the featured deals catch their eye.

Having reservation information for multiple aspects of a trip, such as a hotel and rental car package, makes sharing and saving the itineraries a breeze.

Bottom line

Whether or not you currently have a Costco membership, you shouldn't dismiss Costco Travel as just another online travel agency.

If you know where to look and are willing to price-check the deals you find, you can save a lot of money with Costco Travel deals. I've personally had a lot of success booking friends getaways to popular destinations like Mexico through Costco. Using the service has helped me save on other expenses with the Digital Costco Shop Card I've gotten with my bookings.

For me, the $60 annual membership fee to Costco has been more than worth it to utilize Costco Travel.

Please note, enrolling through the normal Hertz Gold Plus Rewards enrollment process (e.g. at Hertz.com) will not automatically detect a cardholder as being eligible for the program and cardholders will not be automatically upgraded to the applicable status tier.

Know Before You Rent A Car

Need to rent a car but not sure what to expect, read on for answers to some commonly asked questions:.

  •   Why rent a car?   
  •   What's the best rental car company for me?   
  • How do I choose my rental car?  
  •   What if I want rental car insurance?   
  •   What can I expect at the counter?   

How do I choose my rental car?

Select a car based on what you need. For example, if it's just you, then you might choose a smaller more compact car than you would if you had your entire family traveling with you. Here are some examples of car category types available.

Ford Focus or similar

Compact Car

As the name suggests, Compact Cars tend to run on the small side. Great for work trips when you are by yourself, or for a couples getaway when you don't have to worry about trying to fit all the luggage and the kids in the back.

  • Seats: Up to 5  
  • Luggage: Up to 2  

Toyota Corolla or similar

Intermediate Car

Also known as Midsize, Intermediate cars are slightly bigger than Compacts and slightly smaller than Standard. Great for when you need a little more room than a Compact can offer.

  • Luggage: Up to 3  

Volkswagon Jetta or similar

Standard Car

These cars tend to be larger and more comfortable for longer trips. Plenty of room in the back for the kids.

Chevrolet Malibu or similar

Fullsize Car

These cars are larger, four-door passenger vehicles that seat up to five passengers. They feature plenty of space for luggage, more leg room, and space. These cars are a great choice for long trips with friends or family.

  • Luggage: Up to 4  

There are many more categories to choose from, including fun ones like Luxury Cars, Hybrids, even Cargo Vans. Research and find out which one is right for you.

A few of us on the MMS team religiously book a Costco rental car because of the consistently great prices. Plus, reservations are flexible, so you can cancel at any time without paying a fee. I’ll detail how it works.

costco travel car booking

How does Costco car rental work?

You can book rental cars online or by calling Costco at 866-921-7925. No credit card information is required at the time of the reservation because you pay when you pick up the car.

When you book through Costco, you can link your car rental loyalty number to earn points and skip to the front of the car rental line.

Which rental companies are included?

If you’re booking a rental car, you can use Costco Travel to quickly compare prices and book with these four major rental car companies:

Is it available internationally?

You can rent cars in other countries, but only a handful:

And while they are not technically “international,” it’s worth noting that you can rent cars in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

The 4 benefits of Costco car rental

Here are the top Costco car rental benefits that make renting through Costco Travel a no-brainer – though you can read our post on the best websites for cheap car rentals to see its competitors.

Easy comparison shopping

 Similar to online travel agencies like Kayak, Priceline, Orbitz, etc., Costco displays each rental company side-by-side for a very easy and convenient price comparison.

My favorite thing about searching for rental cars this way is that taxes are included in the displayed price. Often when you navigate to a specific rental car website, the results page will list prices before their exorbitant taxes and fees. You may very well select a car in your price range only to find out that it’s hundreds more at the checkout page.

costco travel car booking

 No need to prepay

As stated above, you don’t need a credit card to reserve your car. That’s because you don’t have to pay until you pick it up. Super handy if you’re like me and change your plans fifteen times before you finally lock-in your travel arrangements. You can make prepaid reservations with a quick call – sometimes prices are lower with prepaid rentals – but the freedom to change and cancel at will is worth a lot to my family’s travel style.

To reserve your car, you will have to log into the Costco website.

Low rental prices

Costco is probably the most competitive outlet for renting cars that I’ve found. They’re almost always the cheapest, though it’s never a guarantee.

When you book through Costco Travel, you also can add your reservation information to AutoSlash (read our review here ). It’s a free service that’s an amazing way to save money if prices drop – one of the best and most effective money-saving tools in the travel world.

A free additional driver

A big perk of booking through Costco Travel is you get a free additional driver at certain locations. This benefit can save you ~$13 per day, depending on the rental car company. Do note that some companies, like Hertz, will waive the additional driver fee if you’ve got various memberships like AAA.

Your additional driver does not have to be a Costco member.

How much can you save with Costco car rental

Great question! Let’s take a look. To compare rental car prices, I researched three sample trips using:

  • Chase Travel Portal
  • Costco Travel

Keep in mind, Hotwire does not always tell you the name of the car rental agency and the exact car model until you pay for the rental. The benefit is it partners with several more rental car companies. Note that Hotwire reservations are not as flexible as Costco Travel, so while the company might have the cheapest price, you might not be able to cancel or modify your reservation.

Here’s what I found for three sample trips.

7-Day rental in Maui

I checked a week-long rental in Maui in July 2021. The cheapest option I found through Costco Travel was a full size car for $332 for the week with Budget. The second cheapest was through Hotwire, also a full size car for $378 through Enterprise. The Chase Travel Portal ’s lowest price was a midsize car for $415.84 through Budget.

In this instance, Costco is the winner. But it’s always best to compare prices because the best deal depends on your dates of travel and the type of car you’re looking to book.

One-way rental from San Francisco to Los Angeles

I checked a four-day one-way rental from San Francisco to Los Angeles in June 2021. This is a popular route for road-trippers looking to drive along the beautiful Pacific Coast Highway.

In this instance, Costco has the cheapest price at $492 for a compact car through Alamo. Hotwire charged $527 for the same car through National. Chase had an identical price of $527 for the same car through Enterprise.

Costco Travel is the winner again.

costco travel car booking

Weekend rental in Montreal

I checked a Friday to Sunday rental in Montreal in July 2021.

The majority of the rentals for this example were cheaper through Costco Travel. Costco offered a compact car for $98.04 through Avis, Hotwire charged $156 for the same car through an unknown rental agency, and Chase charged $173.02 for a compact car.

In every example, Costco was significantly cheaper. Just remember that your results may vary based on the vehicle type you’re interested in. You may find a convertible or premium car cheaper through Hotwire. Then again, Costco is probably still the cheapest option.

Which credit cards can help you save even bigger on car rentals?

 The best credit cards to use at Costco are not the best ones to use when renting a car. That’s because there are several travel credit cards that come with primary rental car insurance .

When you use one of the best credit cards for a car rental and decline the rental company’s collision damage waiver (often called CDW or LDW), you could save $15+ per day, depending on what the rental company charges for its in-house coverage!

Primary rental insurance covers theft or damage to your vehicle but not damage to other vehicles and property or injuries. For liability coverage, you’ll have to rely on your own personal auto insurance or purchase a supplemental policy from the rental car company.

Here are our favorite cards that offer primary rental car insurance:

  • Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card
  • Chase Sapphire Reserve®

There is no activation required when renting with these cards. Just decline the CDW and rent with your card, and you’re covered. You’ll even earn bonus points since these cards give you extra rewards when spending on travel purchases!

It’s also worth noting that you can get primary rental car insurance with the best American Express cards, such as The Platinum Card® from American Express, but you’ll have to register your card and pay a small fee before each rental. If you’re renting even for a couple of of days, it’ll still be cheaper than buying insurance from the rental agency. Read about Amex Platinum travel insurance for all the details.

FAQ on Costco car rental

Is renting a car from costco cheaper.

It depends on everything – your dates, location, and desired rental car category. But based on my experimenting, Costco is almost always the cheapest option. And remember, you’ll get a free additional driver through Costco Travel.

How do you cancel a Costco car rental?

Canceling a car with Costco Travel is as simple as canceling with any other online travel agency. You can navigate to your trips in your account and cancel there, or you can call Costco and have someone cancel for you. You’ll have to read your specific agreement concerning fees, but unless you’ve booked a prepaid rental, canceling should be free.

 How old do you have to be to rent with Costco?

You must be over the age of 25 to book a rental car through Costco Travel. For anyone under 25, check out my post about how to get the lowest rental car prices .

Bottom line

Costco members can find great rental car deals with Alamo, Avis, Budget, and Enterprise through Costco Travel . Besides cheap prices, booking through Costco Travel means you get a free additional driver at certain locations, which will save you money.

I compared rental car prices on Costco Travel , Hotwire , and the Chase Travel Portal . The results showed Costco travel prices were either the cheapest or very competitive with the other sites. Remember that Costco Travel reservations are flexible, so you can cancel at any time without paying a fee.

Don’t forget to add your rental car reservation details to AutoSlash to see if you can save even more money.

Insider Today

Your Costco membership can get you more than bulk packages of toilet paper and $5 rotisserie chickens.

If you're a Costco member, you can book hotels, cruises, rental cars, and all-inclusive packages online through Costco Travel .

The Costco Travel website offers vacation packages at luxury resorts in destinations including Tahiti, French Polynesia; Cancún, Mexico; Costa Rica, and Hawaii, and cruises with companies such as Carnival, Royal Caribbean , and Princess, at heavily discounted prices.

Related stories

A Costco Travel vacation package at the Hyatt Regency Maui Resort and Spa in Maui, Hawaii, offers five nights for the price of four and includes the flight, rental car, a room with a partial ocean view, and the hotel's daily breakfast buffet.

The entire vacation package costs $4,851.45 when booked through Costco Travel. When booking the same room and dates directly through the Hyatt Regency's website, the hotel reservation costs $5,331.78 — without airfare to Maui or a rental car.

For smaller-scale trips, if you rent a car through Costco, additional driver fees are waived when renters book through Alamo, Enterprise, Budget, or Avis, Costco Travel's rental-car FAQs page says .

To book a trip, members need to make a profile on Costco Travel's website separate from the one they use to shop for other items.

Booking trips through any third-party website is inherently riskier than booking directly. If any unforeseen circumstances come up, it can be difficult to make changes or receive refunds.
