This is the page on rental cars from the Spring 2021 Discover the Value of Costco Travel Flyer which is available in-store. There are lots of choices, but you need to know how much it costs to book Costco Travel rental cars, so let’s get to it!
Costco Travel Car Rental Vs. Booking Direct
Just for fun, we’ll check the cost of renting a car in Orlando in April 1-7 from Alamo (the lowest price option on from Costco). The date chosen is random and arbitrary, but we’ll use that date in order to get both weekdays and weekends so we can really see how much savings there is by choosing Costco Travel for a rental car.
Car Rental Options From Costco Travel Include Alamo, Avis, Budget and Enterprise:
Compare with a Direct Car Rental from Alamo
We found that both standard size and full size rentals directly from Alamo were the same price. Both cost approximately $45 more to book directly through Alamo versus reserving via the Costco Travel site for a “pay later” booking. They do not include an additional driver, which would be additional savings above the $45 or 2% cash back for Costco Executive Members, which would be approximately $11 back.
That said, there is an Alamo rental car club which offers 5% off rental rates for members, and free upgrades. This is compelling but neither comes close to the deal and benefits of Costco Travel car rental bookings, in my opinion.
