Costco rental car discount

I've been a member of Costco for years. Yeah, you always buy more stuff there than you intended, but it's so much fun!

I uncovered today that Costco also has great discounts for travel, rental cars in particular. If you are not part of a big corporate program, call Costco Travel, ask for your rental car company, and you get connected to their 'Costco Desk' (is it a real desk?). Anyway, the point is I got a real nice discount over what the default Hertz web site price or Kayak deal was. Just a LifeHack for you.
