Costco gives members access to a variety of car-related services.

• Costco members can rent cars at discounted prices through Costco Travel.
• The retailer's car rental program allows members to reserve cars from participating Alamo, Avis, Budget, and Enterprise locations.
• Members need to be 25 or older to use the program.

A Costco membership comes with a number of benefits beyond access to the retailer's warehouses. Members can also get discounts on cars, auto parts, gasoline, and travel services, including car rentals.

Through Costco Travel, members who are 25 and older can get discounted rates on car rentals. The system works similar to the Costco Auto Program - Costco doesn't rent the cars itself, rather, it partners with a third-party supplier and uses its large membership base as leverage to negotiate discounted prices. The retailer's car rental program allows members to reserve cars from participating Alamo, Avis, Budget, and Enterprise locations.

Members can reserve a rental through the Costco Travel website or by calling 1-866-921-7925.
