Costco travel alone has saved me hundreds if not thousands of dollars in rental cars over the past year. Easily 40% cheaper than the competition.

tell me more. are you just getting a discount at the normal rental places, or do they have their own? i was not aware of the rental option.

Just another third party booking service. Last month a rental from Budget through Costco travel for a six days in CA was around $340. The same thing on rentalcars.com was over $500.

Wonder how much of that is CostCo members generally being higher income/lower risk.

[dylan604]

I mean, they let me in as a member. I can tell you I'm not doing anyone any favors in the lowering risk category

Hey, at least you're honest about it.

[TylerE]

I mean, you joke, but you've shown ability to get to the store, fill out an application, pay the $200 or whatever... that at the very least means you are probably not in, say, the 5% worst risk category. Damages that can be caused to something like a hotel room or rental car are essentially unlimited.. avoiding the worst risks is really good.

Below average is fine, you just want to avoid horrific.
