A mom says she cut the cost of her family’s rental car nearly in half after booking through an unexpected source for a road trip.
Gingy (@toldbygingy) shared the money-saving tip after comparing rental car prices for an upcoming family vacation and discovering that using her Costco membership dramatically lowered the price.
“Roadtrip with kids hack: Rental Car Edition,” she wrote in the text overlay of her video.
Gingy says she was looking to rent a Chrysler Pacifica minivan, or a similar vehicle that seats up to seven people.
Her initial quote came to just over $1,000 for the rental. But after booking through Costco Travel, she says the price dropped to $570.
