best costco travel deals 2022

Everything you need to know about Costco Travel — and why I love it for saving money

Costco isn't just the place where you can buy toilet paper in bulk, inexpensive gas, cheap hot dogs and gift cards. You can also book great trips via the company's online travel agency, Costco Travel.

I know, I know: At TPG, we're often staunchly against booking travel through third-party sites , as there can be tradeoffs versus booking directly. But in recent years, I've become a big fan of the travel deals I can find via Costco Travel.

When planning our annual beach trip back in 2022, my best friend found a few options for Mexican all-inclusive resorts on Costco Travel and shared the links with me. I promptly told her we'd probably be better off booking directly and brushed off the idea of booking through Costco — neither of us even had a membership at the time.

However, comparing the prices and benefits at a few of the resorts proved my initial reaction wrong.

I actually got a Costco membership to book the deal since the cost of the membership was less than what we'd save by booking through Costco. We saved around $300 on a three-night stay at TRS Coral near Cancun (one of TPG's best all-inclusive resorts in Cancun ), not including the free hydrotherapy spa circuit and the $241 Digital Costco Shop Card included in the package.

Our stay was fantastic, and I officially became a Costco Travel convert.

If you're curious about how to use Costco Travel to find deals, here's everything you need to know about Costco Travel — and why I love it for saving money on travel.

What is Costco Travel?

All Costco members have access to the Costco Travel booking platform, where you can find and book a wide range of travel — from vacation packages to hotels, cruises and rental cars. You can even book theme park vacation packages to Disney and Universal or specialty vacations such as an African safari.

Once you log in to Costco Travel, you can search for specific dates or destinations or browse through available deals and featured destinations. I personally love perusing the limited-time deals when I know I want to plan a getaway but don't have a specific destination in mind.

Trips booked through Costco Travel are often discounted and/or include perks and benefits you may not get by booking directly or through other booking portals. Usually, a trip booked through Costco Travel will also include a Digital Costco Shop Card (essentially a type of Costco gift card) of varying value.

What travel can you book through Costco Travel?

You can book hotels, cruises, rental cars and vacation packages through Costco Travel. Vacation packages range from hotel-only offers to all-encompassing packages that include airfare, hotel stays and rental cars. You can even build your own package.

However, one thing to note is that you can't book stand-alone flights via Costco Travel. There is an option to book flights through some vacation packages, but if you're only looking for airfare, you'll want to head to Google Flights to check out your options and book.

You can book Costco Travel offers both online and by phone.

Do you have to be a Costco member to use Costco Travel?

Yes. Costco Travel is an exclusive service for Costco members.

There are two personal membership levels: Gold Star and Executive. Gold Star costs $60 per year, while an Executive membership costs $120. The basic membership will give you access to all of Costco's services, including Costco Travel, while the Executive membership also comes with a 2% reward on all Costco (and Costco Travel) purchases.

I've found that the Costco Travel deals alone are worth paying the $60 Gold Star annual membership fee, even though I don't regularly use Costco for my grocery store runs.

Check sites like Groupon for discount Costco memberships, as you can sometimes save on that rate — or get an included gift card that helps offset the cost.

Is Costo Travel worth it?

Costco Travel has its pros and cons, but there are definitely times when it's worth it.

For example, let's look at a five-night stay in Maui in early April. At the time of writing, Costco is currently offering a hotel and rental car package for Hotel Wailea, a Relais & Chateaux affiliated property and one of TPG's favorite Maui hotels .

Here's one cost comparison breakdown of Costco Travel's deal versus booking directly:

Even without including the additional benefits, you're already saving more than $400 via the Costco deal. Add in the value you get from the card, daily breakfast and resort credit (which is more than $1,000 in value if you maximize all benefits), and you're looking at $1,442.45 in savings by booking through Costco Travel versus directly.

And since Hotel Wailea isn't a member of any major hotel loyalty program, booking through Costco Travel wouldn't mean missing out on elite night credits or other loyalty program benefits.

Here's another example — this time for a Universal Orlando theme park trip from June 4-6 for one adult and two children from Houston. The total cost when booking each part (hotel, tickets and airfare) individually came to $2,701.35, while booking it as a package via Costco saved just over $300.

That's a fair amount of savings you could use for some frozen butterbeer or even a new wand inside the Wizarding World of Harry Potter .

When is Costco Travel not worth it?

Not every offer on Costco is worth booking.

For one, you won't necessarily find the same availability on Costco Travel. For example, flights booked through Costco may have some seats blocked off, and certain dates for hotel stays may be unavailable. Additionally, not all rental car companies are bookable through Costco Travel (such as Hertz*, which is my preferred rental car company due to the perks I get through my Capital One Venture X Rewards Credit Card ).

Plus, some hotel stays have a minimum stay requirement. If you're on the hunt for a long weekend getaway, you may not be able to take advantage of some Costco Travel deals.

Even when you do find availability, you should always price-check what you can find by booking directly or through your credit card travel portal and hotel programs.

After booking our fantastic stay at TRS Coral just north of Cancun through Costco, I looked at booking through Costco again in 2023 when planning our annual beach vacation.

While Costco had a deal available for the same resort, we happened to be booking when the resort chain was having a Mother's Day sale for anyone booking directly. We were able to try out a new TRS resort closer to Playa Del Carmen, TRS Yucatan; we saved more than $100 on an even nicer suite than Costco Travel offered by booking directly (even when considering the Digital Shop Card we would have gotten by booking with Costco).

Something else to consider when booking hotels through Costco Travel is loyalty program rewards and elite status. There are a lot of hotels available to book through Costco Travel that are part of major loyalty programs, from Hyatt Honors to Marriott Bonvoy to IHG One Rewards and more. But booking through Costco Travel — just like booking through most other third-party services such as Expedia — means you likely won't earn loyalty rewards, elite night credits or have any elite night benefits honored.

You'll also have to use Costco customer service if you run into any issues rather than going directly to the brand. This is especially important when considering booking a vacation package that includes flights, given the higher potential for delays or cancellations.

Why I love Costco Travel

I am typically a staunch proponent of booking directly, but Costco Travel is an exception. I've found that the benefits I can get by booking some trips via Costco outweigh the cons (some of which include having to go through Costco for any customer service help or occasionally losing out on elite night credits).

Digital Costco Shop Cards

My favorite thing about booking trips through Costco Travel is the Digital Costco Shop Card I get after booking. The card's value varies from trip to trip (generally depending on how expensive the package you book), but you can get hundreds of dollars back to use at Costco.

The Digital Costco Shop Cards can be used for Costco warehouse purchases (a game changer with grocery prices so high due to inflation), but you can also use them toward future Costco Travel bookings. And remember — Costco doesn't just carry bulk grocery items. You could use a Digital Costco Shop Card to buy a new flat-screen TV for movie nights and game days, a new outdoor patio setup ahead of summer or even Costco Pharmacy prescriptions.

I admittedly don't use Costco for groceries often (buying in bulk doesn't make a lot of sense for someone who lives alone), but I have used shop cards to help pay for Christmas presents and future Costco Travel trips. I've actually been looking into using my most recent Digital Costco Shop Card on a new pair of AirPods and a new TV mount for my living room.

Deals on non-points hotel stays and all-inclusive resorts

When I'm looking at booking a hotel stay at a brand like Hyatt or Marriott, I generally choose to book directly in order to earn elite night credits and points. However, when looking at properties not part of a major loyalty program, Costco Travel is often a go-to anytime I can find a deal.

Costco Travel has a nice deals section, and I usually look there first if I'm not sold on a specific destination for a getaway. While deals found on Costco generally have a narrow booking window, I've found that many offer a lot of flexibility for the actual trip dates.

A few examples of limited-time deals for January include Hotel Wailea from the example earlier in this guide, all-inclusive resorts in Mexico's Riviera Maya, and Disney and Universal theme park packages.

Simplifying group vacations

I'm often the travel planner in my friend group (which makes sense, considering what I do for a living), but not everyone is an avid points and miles user like myself. For group trips where we're splitting the cost of hotel rooms among multiple people, it often doesn't make sense to use points and miles to book.

Costco Travel vacation packages offer a way for all of us to save money, and it makes narrowing down potential destinations and hotels easier. Rather than everyone having to spend hours researching ideas and prices from across the internet — which might be my idea of a fun Wednesday night but isn't for some of my friends — I typically just send them to Costco Travel to see if any of the featured deals catch their eye.

Having reservation information for multiple aspects of a trip, such as a hotel and rental car package, makes sharing and saving the itineraries a breeze.

Bottom line

Whether or not you currently have a Costco membership, you shouldn't dismiss Costco Travel as just another online travel agency.

If you know where to look and are willing to price-check the deals you find, you can save a lot of money with Costco Travel deals. I've personally had a lot of success booking friends getaways to popular destinations like Mexico through Costco. Using the service has helped me save on other expenses with the Digital Costco Shop Card I've gotten with my bookings.

For me, the $60 annual membership fee to Costco has been more than worth it to utilize Costco Travel.

*Upon enrollment, accessible through the Capital One website or mobile app, eligible cardholders will remain at upgraded status level through Dec. 31, 2024. Please note, enrolling through the normal Hertz Gold Plus Rewards enrollment process (e.g. at Hertz.com) will not automatically detect a cardholder as being eligible for the program and cardholders will not be automatically upgraded to the applicable status tier.

How does Costco Travel work?

Can you use costco travel without a membership, is costco travel worth it, the downsides of costco travel, does costco travel offer travel insurance, the verdict: is costco travel a good deal.

The vacation packages featured by Costco Travel make a familiar, super-sized promise to Costco shoppers: You can save by prioritizing quality and buying in bulk. And for value-seeking travelers looking for a little bit of luxury, the wholesale giant delivers.

These vacation packages, which generally include posh accommodations, select meals and ground transportation, aren't available at bargain-barrel rates. But they're quick to book and competitively priced. For some, they might be the most cost-efficient ticket to a lavish getaway. Here’s everything you need to know about Costco Travel.

Costco Travel is a website that allows Costco members to purchase vacation packages, hotels, cruises and rental cars. These vacation packages, which can include posh accommodations, select meals and ground transportation, aren't available at bargain-barrel rates. But they're easy to book and competitively priced. For some, they might be the most cost-efficient ticket to a lavish getaway.

To book one of these vacation packages, you need to provide a Costco membership number at checkout. Memberships start at $60 a year, plus tax. With the Gold Star Executive membership, which costs $120 a year, you'll get additional Costco Travel benefits and 2% back (up to $1,000 in annual rewards) on qualifying Costco, Costco.com and Costco Travel purchases.

With a vacation package booked through Costco Travel — which also offers a la carte booking services for hotels, theme parks, car rentals and cruises — you can visit destinations like Rome, Paris, Cancun and many others.

Book all the reservations at once

On the Costco Travel website, it's possible to book a full itinerary — even including the car ride from the airport to your hotel — in just a few minutes. For Ginka Poole of Nashville, Tennessee, this was a big draw.

“For a vacation, it’s good to kind of turn your brain off for a while and not have to worry,” says Poole, a travel blogger and photographer. “You pick your destination, and there aren’t too many other choices you need to make.”

She used the service to purchase a trip to St. Lucia , a Caribbean island, with her husband. The package she bought, which cost about $6,000 for a weeklong stay, included ground transportation, the resort stay, breakfast every day, first-class flights and a credit for a tour.

The benefits and accommodations are top-notch

Say you booked a seven-day vacation package from San Francisco to London and Paris for two. For $4,900, you'd get these goodies:

Nonstop economy flights

Transportation to and from the airport

A superior queen room in a London hotel with a daily English breakfast, three-course dinner for two, champagne afternoon tea service and an appointment with the hotel concierge

A $400 tour credit in London

Standard premier railway tickets from London to Paris

A premium room in a Paris hotel with a daily breakfast buffet

To be sure, you could easily book a similar trip for less than $4,900 if you nixed some of those extras. But you'd be hard-pressed to find the same level of amenities and benefits at a lower price on other travel aggregators.

When booking through Costco Travel, you can get 3% cash back on your purchase when you pay with your Costco Anywhere Visa® Card by Citi . If you don’t have that card, try using one that offers extra rewards for travel or flat-rate rewards.

Costco Travel Vacation Package-Kuttappan

For Parita Kuttappan of Chicago — who booked a trip to Maui and Kauai for herself, her husband and her mother-in-law and father-in-law through Costco Travel — those fancy stays were worth the cost.

“Our accommodations were amazing — exactly what we thought we were going to be getting,” says Kuttappan, who founded the lifestyle blog My Inner Shakti. The resorts they stayed at were beautifully decorated, spacious and comfortable, she notes.

Itineraries are somewhat customizable

Vacation packages on Costco Travel come with a basic itinerary, but you generally handle the details yourself. After selecting your dates and destination, you can add flights, upgrade your room or make other tweaks. Then, it's up to you to plan daily activities.

In Kauai, “We took a helicopter tour of the island, and that was something I will never forget,” Kuttappan says, noting that she booked the tour separately from her package. “It was absolutely breathtaking. We got to see the canyon there, and the different waterfalls and an aerial view of the entire island, which was absolutely amazing.”

Here's why you might not want to book a vacation package through Costco Travel.

Costco Travel is not cheap

Vacation packages can offer a great value, but don't expect clearance prices. While the website features select packages for less than $499 per person, multiday trips with airfare generally run well over $1,000 per person.

"I would say [it’s] a great deal if you’re looking for convenience and willing to spend a little bit extra,” Kuttappan says, who also used the service to book a trip to Italy with her husband.

If trimming costs is your priority, you might be better off booking cheaper accommodations and flights elsewhere.

Not all expenses are included

Vacation packages often include some meals and benefits, but they don’t cover everything.

Poole and her husband were surprised to find they spent an average of about $400 a day purchasing alcohol, lunch and dinner at the resort in St. Lucia, she says. (Breakfast came included in their package.) While online reviewers noted that the food at the resort was expensive, Poole says she didn’t realize how costly it was until she got the final bill for their stay.

“I do wish there would have been a little more information either from reviewers or from Costco themselves saying, 'This is what you’re going to spend,'” she says. To avoid surprises like these, ask the property you’re staying at about food costs beforehand and track expenses during your stay.

You’ll generally go to major hotels and resorts

Most of the hotels and resorts listed on Costco Travel are relatively large, often boasting hundreds of rooms. These properties can get you easy access to coffee, food and a gym — but they might not take you very far off the beaten path.

“You’re going to get a big resort. You’re not going to get a nice boutique hotel,” Poole says.

You cannot purchase a travel insurance policy through Costco Travel. However, you can purchase a trip insurance policy through Costco’s partner Zurich Travel Insurance. There are many plans to choose from, including those that offer trip cancellation , trip interruption , emergency medical coverage , travel delay , lost luggage coverage and more.

If you have a travel credit card that offers complimentary trip insurance , use that card to buy a Costco Travel vacation package so that you receive coverage for your trip.

If you'd happily stay at a low-cost motel while traveling abroad if it meant saving money, booking a vacation package through Costco Travel just doesn't make sense. But for those who want to land a swanky hotel and ready-made itinerary for a reasonable price, it might be the fastest and most cost-effective option.

What is Costco Travel and How Does It Work?

First things first, let’s break down exactly how Costco Travel can be useful for travelers. Members can click through the site to find lower prices on hotels, cruises, rental cars and, if you prefer, vacation packages with all of the above. You’ll be able to browse by destination and indicate if you want to go to a theme park , beach or other destinations. To put it frankly, what we love about Costco Travel booking is the transparency, convenience and simplicity.

Transparent Fees : Costco Travel makes it very clear what you’re paying in total with transparent fees, so there’s no surprise attack on your wallet in the future.
Aggregate and Compare Trips : The site conveniently compiles the most dependable brands you would likely book a stay or trip with, so you’re not spending hours rummaging through different sites to get prices that might only be a tiny bit cheaper with random companies you’ve never heard of but, of course, have terrible reviews.
Easy Navigation : The simple layout of Costco’s travel booking website is very easy to use and navigate, and everything is neatly categorized into “Packages,” “Hotels,” “Cruises,” “Rental Cars” and “Theme Parks & Speciality.”
Build Your Own Package : You can also build your own package and still enjoy great savings for many popular destinations. The website has a “Featured Destinations” section that currently highlights places like Los Angeles , San Antonio , Nashville and more.

Don’t worry, there are no gimmicks or fine print catches when you opt for Costco Travel . Costco’s community of members is what makes these deals possible, as apparently, the company “uses its buying authority to negotiate the best value in the marketplace and then passes on the savings to Costco members.” You can trust that the travel package deals are just as good as when you shop their regular warehouse inside the store.

What do Costco vacation packages include?

You can customize your Costco Vacation Package to include any or all of the following:

And oftentimes, the package will offer resort credits, free breakfast, Costco shop cards and other free incentives. For instance, here’s a breakdown comparison for an Orlando family trip with Disney World tickets via Costco Travel vacation deals:

Example of a Costco Travel Vacation Package

For a family of 4, Costco’s Orlando: Melia Orlando Celebration Package has everything you need, including a suite just 5 minutes away from Disney World, for a total price of $4,730.39 . In this example, we’re departing out of Chicago at the O’Hare airport, staying in Orlando for 6 days + 5 nights, and traveling with two kids—ages 6 and 10. The package includes:

Large one-bedroom suite at a highly rated property
Roundtrip flights with United Airlines
Daily complimentary breakfast for two
$70 Costco shop card
Five-day full-size rental car (one additional driver included) from Alamo
5-Day Disney Theme Park Tickets with Park Hopper option
Accommodations at Melia Orlando Celebration
Daily resort fees
All applicable taxes

Find Costco Vacation Packages

While the price through Costco Travel might not be the lowest, their packages are definitely the cream of the crop based on all the amenities you can get, the convenience, transparency, as well as the quality of the airline, hotel and/or cars. Keep in mind that you can also earn cashback if you are an Executive member.

Do you need to be a Costco member to book with Costco Travel?

It’s important to note that Costco Travel deals are exclusively for members . If you don’t have a Costco membership, you can bypass this exception by having someone in your family or a friend book a vacation trip, cruise, or flight under your name with their membership info. There’s no caveat except you just need to get all the booking information and sort out the cost amongst yourselves. The only disappointing aspect that can’t be worked around is that your card-carrying friend won’t be able to nail down a car reservation for you—whoever is picking up the car must show their own valid Gold, Executive or Business card.

The lowest tier card costs $60 a year. If you do the math, that’s as little as $5 a month and there are always promotions happening , like special student discounts, first-time member credits and more that the Slickdeals community never fails to point out.

For $60 more, you can opt for Costco’s Gold Star Executive or Business Executive Membership .

Both of these plans cost $120 annually, which only ends up being $10 per month. Executive members are eligible to receive a 2% reward on all Costco and Costco Travel purchases , which is applied once the trip is completed.

Keep in mind that 2% reward cannot be earned on the following:

Any taxes/fees
Trip protection
Third-party extras

Rewards aside, Executive members also have the chance to enjoy room upgrades or exclusive food and beverage credits. If you’re still on the fence about the upgrade, check out this recent article to see if the Costco Executive membership is right for you .

How Do You Book with Costco Travel?

1. opt for a road trip.

But you won’t get the unheard-of rental sites that offers somehow incredible prices on cars but you have to go through hell to get it or wind up getting a dud of a vehicle. That’s why Costco Travel makes things easy as you won’t have to do multiple searches to find the best prices from reputable brands without the headache. As of now, rentals are only offered in the following locations:

Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Spain, the U.K. and the U.S. (including Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands).

Remember : You just have to make sure that the primary driver is a Costco member and that you have your Costco card with you, as you may have to prove membership at pick-up. Executive members are able to add one additional driver to the reservation at no extra cost, alongside waived cancellation fees and a 2% reward.

2. Book a Vacation Package

Costco Vacation packages offer some awesome deals for every occasion, whether you want to get out of town with your spouse and kids or simply take your significant other out for some new memories. With a few clicks, you can quickly plan out a trip that would normally be a pain to figure out on multiple websites and constant cross-referencing. The vacation packages include destinations like Costa Rica, Hawaii, the Caribbean, Europe or Africa. Costco has even made it super simple to pick the next destination by breaking down vacations in categories:

Family-Friendly Fun
All-Inclusive Resorts
Romantic Getaways
Adult Escapes
New Additions to Costco Travel
Experience Luxury

3. Cruise With Costco

Typically, the listed prices include accommodations along with meals, snacks, entertainment and activities onboard.
Spending increases when you factor in gratuities, specialty restaurants, alcoholic beverages, spa treatments and everything in between, which are often not included with the base prices.

These benefits tend to be associated with Kirkland Signature Savor and Spa Cruises and Buyer’s Choice Cruises , which as of now, are Royal Caribbean Cruises with included extras. SlickDeals Tip: These are exclusive, Costco member-only cruise prices. It’s a hack that’s not available to anyone else and is extra handy for last-minute deals, as cruise prices tend to drop the closer you are to the departure date. Just don’t wait too long as the best room options tend to go first.

Shop Costco Cruises

4. Check-In at Highly Rated Hotels

And, of course, you can get hotels through Costco Travel , but there are fewer options for you to choose from. Currently, these are the only hotel brands that are offered via the site:

IHG Hotels and Resorts
Fairmont Hotel and Resorts
Hyatt Hotel and Resorts
Swissôtel Hotels and Resorts.

We can’t help but also add that you won’t always get the best price or wide variety on hotels through Costco Travel. While Costco makes it very convenient to know exactly what you’re paying and getting, we’d recommend checking other places like Booking.com or Hotels.com for cost-friendlier hotel-only options.

Costco Travel Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Does costco travel offer the best deals.

Costco Travel offers the best deals on vacation packages and rental cars, but not always so for flights, hotels and cruises. But the price difference is oftentimes minimal if you consider the extra perks like food and drinks, as well as the 2% reward back for Costco Travel purchases you can earn if you use the Executive card. Costco Travel does give you a lot of bang for your buck with the extra perks. On top of that, you get the simplicity and convenience of being able to pick from the most reliable companies when booking a trip.

How do I cancel my Costco travel booking?

We get it, things happen. If you need to cancel your trip for whatever reason, the Costco Travel team is here for you. Call the help center as soon as possible at 1-866-921-7925 and have your booking confirmation number ready. While cancellation fees may apply for vacation packages and cruises, you won’t have to bear any additional costs for rental cars. In some cases, you may even be able to cancel things online, making the process a breeze. However, here are some terms and conditions to immediately keep in mind:

Revisions, cancellations, and refund policies vary by airline, cruise line, hotel, and other suppliers.
In all instances, no-shows are nonrefundable.
Cancellation of your vacation package will result in supplier fees, if applicable.
Cancellation of the flight(s) portion of your vacation package may be nonrefundable and nontransferable.
Occasionally, the value on the canceled airline tickets may be used to rebook future air travel at a later date. Airline fees will apply on a rebooked ticket. The rebooked ticket must be on the same airline. Travel must be completed within one year of the date that the original ticket was issued.

Can I use Costco Cash Cards for travel?

Costco Cash Cards, or Costco shop cards, are essentially non-expiring gift cards ranging from the amounts of $25 to $2,000. You can get these when you purchase vacation packages, which will then arrive after you come back from your trip. You can use Costco shop cards on warehouse purchases and even on future vacation trips to select locations like Hawaii, Europe, Carribeans, Las Vegas, New York and more. However, you can’t spend Costco cash cards on these vacation-related expenses:

Rental Cars
Disneyland Resort Packages
Guided Vacations
Hotel (Room-Only) Reservations
Any other vacation products

Is airfare included with Costco travel packages?

There is usually always an option to have airfare included with your Costco vacations. Plus, the vacation packages are easily customizable to pick what time you fly out, where you’ll fly out and when you’ll want to come back home. And if you’d like, there’s an option to only pick flights from Costco Travel, but we recommend against this as the prices are usually higher than we’d like. Instead, check out Google Flights to compare flights and find less expensive routes.

Check Out Costco’s Current Travel Deals

Are you ready to dive into the deals? Costco Travel is currently slashing prices on highly coveted vacations with instant savings of up to $250. From Mexico to Hawaii, these vacations couldn’t be more perfect for summer or even later on in the year, especially if you live in a place with freezing winters.

Unlocking Costco's Treasure Chest: Smart Savings Strategies from a Financial Planner

Shopping at Costco can feel like embarking on a treasure hunt. With its vast aisles filled with a wide array of products, from groceries to electronics, it is a haven for shoppers looking to score great deals. However, without the right strategies, it is easy to get lost in the sea of choices and potentially miss out on significant savings.

TDECU is not affiliated with, associated with, or in any way officially connected with Costco Wholesale Corporation . Any references to Costco within the content of this blog are for informational purposes only and do not imply an endorsement or partnership.

We are here to guide you through the maze of Costco, ensuring you make the most out of your membership. Let us dive into some savvy tips that can help you unlock the full potential of your Costco shopping experience.

Know Before You Go: The Costco Game Plan

Preparation is key. Before setting foot in Costco, having a game plan is crucial. Start by creating a shopping list to keep you focused. This is not just any list; it is your roadmap to savings. By sticking to it, you will avoid impulse buys, which, though tempting, can quickly derail your budget.

Stay informed about deals. Costco's monthly coupon book is a treasure trove of savings. Review it online or in the store to highlight items on your list that are currently discounted. This proactive approach can lead to substantial savings over time, turning regular shopping trips into strategic savings missions.

Membership Magic: Unlocking Exclusive Benefits

Choosing the right membership. Costco offers two main types of memberships: Executive and Gold Star. While the Gold Star is more affordable, the Executive membership can pay for itself through its 2% cashback reward on most purchases. If you are a frequent shopper, doing the math on your average spend can reveal if upgrading is beneficial for your wallet.

Capitalizing on travel deals and more. Beyond the shelves of bulk goods, Costco offers exclusive deals on travel, insurance, and even car purchases. It is recommend to explore these lesser-known benefits. Planning a vacation? Check Costco Travel for discounted packages. Need new glasses? The optical department offers competitive pricing. These additional services can amplify your savings well beyond the checkout line.

Bulk Buying Brilliance: Mastering the Art of Stocking Up

The bulk buying balancing act. Buying in bulk can lead to significant savings, especially on items you use regularly. However, the key is to buy smart. Perishable goods can spoil before you use them, turning potential savings into waste. Focus on non-perishables or items you can freeze, ensuring nothing goes to waste.

Calculating cost per unit. One of Costco's hidden gems is the cost per unit displayed on price tags. This figure lets you compare prices accurately, ensuring you get the best deal. Sometimes, the bulk option offers the most savings; other times, you might find that smaller quantities are more economical.

Smart Technology Use: Enhancing Your Costco Experience

Leveraging the Costco app. The Costco app is a powerful tool for maximizing your savings. It offers a digital version of the coupon book, alerts on deals, and even a digital membership card. Using the app lets you plan your shopping trip more effectively, ensuring you do not miss out on any discounts.

Online shopping secrets. Costco's online store often has exclusive deals that are not available in physical locations. For those big-ticket items you have been eyeing, like electronics or furniture, checking online can save you hundreds. Plus, many items come with free shipping, adding another layer of savings.

Payment Perks: Saving More with Every Swipe

Choosing the right credit card. If you are not using a rewards credit card for your Costco purchases, you leave money on the table. Costco accepts all Visa/Mastercard cards, and their co-branded credit card offers additional cash back on purchases, including gas. Pairing your membership with a rewards card can turn every purchase into an opportunity to save.

Understanding return policies. Costco's generous return policy is a financial safety net. Whether electronics or a bulk food item that did not hit the mark, Costco's satisfaction guarantee ensures you can shop confidently. This policy not only protects your investment but encourages smarter shopping decisions.

The Bottom Line: Smart Shopping is a Lifestyle

Costco offers savings opportunities for those willing to navigate its vast offerings with a strategic eye. From choosing the right membership to mastering the art of bulk buying, every aspect of your Costco experience can contribute to significant savings. Our advice is to view smart shopping as an investment in your financial health. By applying these strategies, you can transform your routine Costco trip into a treasure hunt for savings, maximizing the value of every dollar spent.

Remember, your TDECU membership is more than just a way to learn how to save at Costco; it is a gateway to smarter financial decisions across all aspects of your life. Happy shopping, and here's to your continued financial success!

The 8 Best Cantilever Umbrellas of 2024

Beat the heat in style and comfort with these editor-approved offset umbrellas.

Gear-obsessed editors choose every product we review. We may earn commission if you buy from a link. Why Trust Us?

Cantilever umbrellas are ideal for lounge-style seating areas because they’re offset from their stands, and most feature an adjustable mount with various heights and degrees of tilt for all-day shade. The angled design can cover an outdoor table, which is particularly handy if your outdoor dining set doesn’t have a center hole for a traditional patio umbrella .

Our best cantilever umbrella recommendations include models in a range of sizes, shapes, and prices to suit your space, followed by expert advice on the most important considerations before buying. And, if you’re hoping to snag a cantilever umbrella bargain, several of our picks are on sale for 20 percent off or more at the time of this writing.

The Best Cantilever Umbrellas

Best Overall: Grand Patio Napoli Sunbrella Cantilever Umbrella
Best Value: Sunnyglade Rectangular Cantilever Umbrella
Best for Extra Coverage: Purple Leaf 13-Foot Cantilever Umbrella
Best Rectangular Option: Purple Leaf Rectangular Cantilever Umbrella
Best For Small Spaces: Purple Leaf 8-Foot Square Cantilever Umbrella

How We Selected

We considered the quality of each cantilever umbrella’s materials, including the durability and water-resistance of the canopy fabric, the strength and heft of the frame, and how much range the umbrella offers to block the sun. Our team also looked at ease of adjustment using the handle and hand crank. Another big point of comparison was whether the umbrella base was included or had to be purchased separately. Our final selection represents the best cantilever umbrellas in each category, such as best overall and best value. We also made sure our lineup included a variety of shapes and sizes—round, square, rectangle, and others.

Purple Leaf Rectangular Cantilever Umbrella

This cantilever umbrella wins our top spot for high quality and versatility. The rectangular design makes it ideal for covering a long dining table or a long outdoor sectional. Plus it features 360-degree rotation along with a water-repellant, fade-resistant polyester canopy that blocks UV rays, with a UPF of 50.

Despite the large canopy size, this umbrella is impressively adjustable with six different heights and angles for covering your outdoor dining set when the sun is blazing overhead. There’s also a vented top to add stability and let heat escape, so go ahead and roast marshmallows for s’mores with your tabletop fire pit bowl.

Other highlights include a powder-coated aluminum frame treated with anti-oxidation coating and eight steel ribs. It comes in three other sizes and four additional color options, but the weighted base is sold separately.

Sunnyglade Rectangular Cantilever Umbrella

This well-priced cantilever umbrella has a fade-resistant polyester canopy that’s said to block 98 percent of UV rays. It also has a sturdy powder-coated aluminum frame that resists rust and corrosion, along with eight steel ribs for canopy strength and a top vent for stability. Its 360-degree rotation rounds off the list of value-packed features.

A small but useful extra is the zippered rib sleeves at each corner of the canopy. This allows for easy-on, easy-off use. If the material is stained or damage, you can easily remove it from the frame to clean or replace it.

In addition to the tan hue shown here, the cantilever umbrella comes in bright blue and vibrant red. The weighted base is sold separately, though that’s reflected in the price.

Grand Patio Napoli 12-Foot Round Sunbrella Cantilever Umbrella

This cantilever umbrella’s curved arm stands out visually among the competition and its wheeled base stands out for functionality. It’s especially handy if you have a large patio with multiple seating areas. Simply angle the umbrella back and roll it to wherever you want shade.

The Sunbrella fabric canopy is another highlight, and it’s available in a solid selection of 21 colors and patterns. The umbrella is supported by a rust-resistant powder-coated frame, plus there’s an auto-lock system that adjusts the position of the angle up to 90 degrees.

Purple Leaf 8-Foot Square Cantilever Umbrella

For anyone with minimal outdoor space or a sunny backyard, this eight-foot-wide umbrella is a smart choice. The yarn-dyed polyester canopy is water-repellant and blocks UV rays, and there's a pedal at the base to rotate it 360 degrees.

This cantilever umbrella also features a powder-coated alloy steel frame with eight ribs for internal stability. There’s also a crank to raise and lower the canopy, along with a lever to tilt it, plus six angle positions to maximize coverage as the sun shifts throughout the day.

Choose from beige, navy blue, turquoise, and the chic gray that's shown, plus two options featuring solar LED lights. Keep in mind that the umbrella comes with a T-base, but the weighted base is sold separately.

BLUU Banyan Cantilever Umbrella

This cantilever umbrella has many of the same features as other options on this list, but at a heavily reduced price.

The iron frame has an anti-rust coating and the canopy’s tilt mechanism means you can stop at any tilt angle you want instead of one of a few designated positions.

The water-resistant umbrella canopy is backed a two year warranty against fading. It’s available in 13 different colors, but the base isn’t included

Purple Leaf 13-Foot Round Cantilever Umbrella

If your backyard gets a lot of sun or if you want more coverage around a round dining table, your best bet is this cantilever umbrella with an extra-wide canopy. The umbrellas spans 13 feet and is made of durable polyester designed to repel water and prevent mildew, so set it up near a pool or pond without a worry.

The material is rated to resist UV rays and fading, with a three-year warranty to guarantee longevity.

Another highlight is that the canopy rotates 360 degrees around around the powder-coated pole shaft. The pole shaft is also notably thicker than other options from Purple Leaf for added strength and stability.

The base is sold separately, which may be a drawback for some, considering the price point.

Purple Leaf 10-Foot Cantilever Umbrella

This umbrella offers stylish sun coverage with a square design that sets it apart from the similar, circular options. The powder-coated aluminum frame is treated to prevent oxidation, making this a low-maintenance option designed for durability. The pole is also four inches in width, larger than other options with canopies of the same size.

It’s polyester canopy repels water, provides UV protection, and doesn’t fade— plus it swivels 360 degrees and tilts at multiple angles. We also appreciate the combination crank and slider handle that opens up the canopy and adjusts its height and angle.

Be sure to budget in extra for the base that’s shown because like most of our other picks, it’s sold separately.

Purple Leaf 11-Foot Cantilever Umbrella

This cantilever umbrella is another versatile option from Purple Leaf. For starters, it rotates 360 degrees and easily moves up and down, thanks to its well-constructed crank-lift and slider handle.

It also tilts in six positions to shield against UV rays from multiple angles. The canopy is made from a durable polyester fabric that guards against fading and is water-repellent. It’s supported by eight heavy-duty steel ribs and a silver powder-coated aluminum pole shaft. There’s also a large double-top canopy vent to help stabilize the umbrella in windy conditions and allow heat to escape.

Keep in mind that you’ll also need to cover the cost of a weighted base, which is sold separately.

What to Consider When Buying a Cantilever Umbrella

Cantilever umbrellas may not take up much square footage on the ground, but they still occupy a fair amount of space, so picking the right size is paramount. Other important factors that may influence your decision include shape, canopy fabric, and features like degree of tilt and rotation.

Size and Shape

When determining the size of your cantilever umbrella, use this rule of thumb: The umbrella should be two feet wider than your dining table on all sides, with a few extra inches if you have deep chairs. The same generally holds true for coverage of seating areas with lounge chairs or other furniture.

While it may be tempting to buy an oversized cantilever umbrella for the extra shade, keep in mind that it may look awkward if it isn’t proportional with your furniture. Oversized umbrellas also require larger, wider bases or sometimes two bases in order to properly stand.

Cantilever umbrellas generally range from about six feet wide to around 13 feet wide. Round cantilever umbrellas are the most popular shape, like our best overall Grand Patio Napoli Cantilever Umbrella , but there are also plenty of square or rectangular options. Rectangular umbrellas are a great choice for covering long dining tables or wide portions of a backyard deck.

Most cantilever canopies are made of woven polyester, though high-performance fabric, like Sunbrella , is typically more durable over time. All of the umbrellas we recommend resist water to varying degrees, with many treated to block UV rays and prevent fading. The UV treatment also protects your skin from sunburns during long days in your yard.

While it won’t protect you from a heavy rain like a traditional umbrella , the material is sturdy and won’t degrade under years of harsh weather conditions.

The frames are usually powder-coated to safeguard against rust. Most of the frames are made of steel or aluminum. Both materials are strong enough to withstand heavy wind without bending or breaking.

Additional Features

Look for canopy rotation, tilt, and an easy-to-use opening and closing mechanism. The majority of cantilever umbrellas rotate from 90 to 360 degrees and tilt in five or more positions. Some have a slider that locks in at any tilt angle instead of designated positions.

The best cantilever umbrellas have an integrated handle to raise and lower the canopy and a separate crank to open and close it.

For nighttime use, some cantilever umbrellas come with integrated lights under the canopy. These are typically solar-powered and charge throughout the day.
