You can book luxury hotels, cruises, and vacation packages through Costco for a fraction of the cost
Costco offers steep discounts on hotels, cruises, rental cars, and vacation packages for members.
Members can book travel through the Costco Travel website.
Costco offers perks such as waived fees for additional drivers on rental cars.
Your Costco membership can get you more than bulk packages of toilet paper and $5 rotisserie chickens.
If you're a Costco member, you can book hotels, cruises, rental cars, and all-inclusive packages online through Costco Travel.
The Costco Travel website offers vacation packages at luxury resorts in destinations including Tahiti, French Polynesia; Cancún, Mexico; Costa Rica, and Hawaii, and cruises with companies such as Carnival, Royal Caribbean, and Princess, at heavily discounted prices.
A Costco Travel vacation package at the Hyatt Regency Maui Resort and Spa in Maui, Hawaii, offers five nights for the price of four and includes the flight, rental car, a room with a partial ocean view, and the hotel's daily breakfast buffet.
The entire vacation package costs $4,851.45 when booked through Costco Travel. When booking the same room and dates directly through the Hyatt Regency's website, the hotel reservation costs $5,331.78 — without airfare to Maui or a rental car.
For smaller-scale trips, if you rent a car through Costco, additional driver fees are waived when renters book through Alamo, Enterprise, Budget, or Avis, Costco Travel's rental-car FAQs page says.
To book a trip, members need to make a profile on Costco Travel's website separate from the one they use to shop for other items.
Booking trips through any third-party website is inherently riskier than booking directly. If any unforeseen circumstances come up, it can be difficult to make changes or receive refunds.
