Costco Travel Rents Automobiles and More

I just recently learned that Costco offers car rentals, and not only that but travel options, like vacation packages, hotels, cruises. Amazing.

Right now Costco is offering a 50% weekend rental rates.   I will be doing a bit of traveling and I’ll need to drive. I’m a little bit concerned about my vehicle making the trip, plus unfortunately my air conditioning is working intermittently. So I am looking into the option of renting a vehicle. When I got my first email from Costco about their auto rentals, they were offering a special for only $10 a day!  That of course was for an economy sized vehicle.

This will be a “working” vacation, and I’ll be splitting the costs with another person. We won’t be able to use an economy, as my traveling partner is tall and portly.  It is looking like we can expect to pay at least $250 for a week with unlimited mileage – this is looking at other companies and checking my options through AAA.  Ironically, as I’m doing this research, the Costco Travel site is down and has been for the last 30 minutes. I will check back later to make sure they can’t give me a better deal than what I’m finding elsewhere.

Have you ever used Costco Travel?  Do you ever need to rent a vehicle? Who do you prefer to use? Any tips for renting cars?
