Yesterday I called the local "we'll pick you up" rental car company and spoke with a nice chap about how much renting a Yukon for our upcoming trip was going to cost. The website tells you to call for availability when you look for large SUVs, so I did. I was told that the rental was going to be $501 and some change. I knew that I remembered finding something cheaper, and was reminded by a voice in the back of the house that I had used the Costco membership stuff to search the last time. In a few clicks, I had the Yukon reserved for a day more than the outlet person had set up (to cover the 1200 miles we'll need) for $381. That's almost three years of membership costs made up on one purchase.
I'm not really a fan of big box things, but this company treats employees pretty well, especially when their competition is considered. We have a neighbor who has worked for Costco for over a decade and has a painful and potentially debilitating disease ....and they've stuck with him.

Thumbs up! We don't shop there because the one local to us is a NIGHTMARE. Like full of zombie moms in velour jumpsuits, perfect hair, lattes in hand, and 3 kids under the age of 5 in tow.
Haaa! Since this is snowbirdville, ours is polluted with aged viagra-seekers most of the year who seem to have only one thing going on in life - stopping for food samples, which at the same time, clogs the isles for the normal folks.
