Booked Car Hire Through Costco

[wintersun]

We have booked a Hyundai Santa Fe or similar for our 14 day trip. Cost £384.81 payable on arrival. No other fees will be payable according to Costco Website.

I have heard of this site and I know some on here have used them

I see it's an Alamo vehicle whereas Enterprise want £561 for the same vehicle. Good decision not to go with Enterprise!

This bit concerns me in the T & C's -

The renter is responsible for and the discount does not apply to any additional costs which are not included in the daily or weekly rate, such as optional excess waiver, local taxes, fuel, and the cost of additional items such as the hire of child seats, roof racks and navigation guides, etc.

So does this mean you are liable for the airport user fee and State tax?

However a great price by the way.

You are probably right.

However you also use the word Probably. I don't do Probably I do certainty! But, it's almost certainly ok, but I don't do that either!

Agree it is always best to check all the vendors for your dates. Last time I checked my potential dates in Aug DFCH beat Costco.

Costco allows free cancellation so the op can always check as it gets nearer and change if they find it cheaper.
