Costco rates: Tuesday and Wednesday mornings work well for me. Not sure if that's a coincidence, but I often find the lowest prices on those mornings. Later the same days, and other days of the week, prices are often higher. No idea why.

I went back to check and found the rate I have now I got on a Saturday morning. I'd always heard Thursdays were the best time to try.

So now I just keep checking daily.

For the free second driver do they also have to be a costco member? That is what avis told me today and then charged me $14 a day for. No point debating it with the people working the counter.

No, definitely not. The second driver is free and that driver doesnt have to be a Costco member. The counter person you dealt with made a mistake.

Absolutely not. I suggest you call Costco Travel and discuss it with them.

Figured as much. Easy to get corrected by calling costco I figured.

Check-Check-Check prices "24 HOURS" before pickup .... I saved 20% "ADDITIONAL" because of lower rates for my 2 weeks in Hawaii ! !

I have found them to be lower most of the time and joined just for that benefit. The prices go up and down. I am currently checking a few times a day for a trip coming up Jan 7. My current cost is $135 for the week and expect to get it lower but it is still lower than what I've found elsewhere.

I originally joined Costco for this and the primary insurance coverage I could get with the AMEX card they were using at the time. I now have a different AMEX card for the insurance but kept the Costco membership for the car rentals. They often send out coupons and I save a few dollars when I use them to shop.
