My flight (not booked through costco travel) changed , I had to update my ground transport pick up information so the pick up date/ time would be accurate. Would you believe they nickel and Dime you death! They actually charged me to update the ground transport pick up time! Utterly disgusting.
Very poor experience. They dont allow hotel changes or any changes online and then when call customer service, expect at least 1 hour wait, just to be told that computers are down, call back later again. There is no call back feature. once booked, expect surprises with the ground transportation, with obviously no number to call again.
In August 2023, I hired a ‘Premium Car Automatic’ for £262.94 for 3 days. What I received was a three-and-a-half-year-old, ‘Mercedes-Benz C220 AMG line premium’, registration KP20 JXZ, it had many small dents and damage and 40,000+ miles. The car was fitted with 19-inch wheels, sports suspension and run flat tyres. The car rode atrociously. This was probably partly due to the 3 budget tyres fitted (Chinese Made ROADX Rxmotion). After 24 hours the car was replaced with a lesser car, but in better condition (a 2023 Mercedes- Benz A class variant).The C Class had one premium tyre (Bridgestone Potenza) in addition to the three cheap Chinese tyres. It appears mixing different tyres means nothing to Costco or their subcontractor Enterprise. I also discovered the two front tyres were of insufficient load index and were thus not road legal. Costco have been useless at resolving this and giving me a refund. Costco are acting like a useless go between for Enterprise who have offered just £25! They risked my safety and driving licence and offer me a measly £25! Avoid Costco car hire and Enterprise.
We received a credit for our flights that had to be canceled due to the wildfires in Maui. However, they charge you so much in fees and taxes to use the credit it works out to be the same as the list price (without using the air credit for a trip) or MORE than the list price online for a net new trip.Also, to get a quote using your air fair credit takes HOURS. Literally, it takes hours to get a quote.Buyer beware - do not use Costco Travel!
We got the "New York City: Your Way Hotel and Airfare Package," which includes air travel, hotel stay and airport/hotel ground transportation. Sheraton New York Times Square Hotel had no record of our room reservation when we arrived. Thankfully, the clerk at the desk gave us an upgraded room, since that was all that was available. I had been sure to download the Alaska Airlines app and made sure that my Costco booking was in their system and we were able to select seats through the Alaska app. I also confirmed the New York ground transportation, getting to talk directly with the drivers. However, I should have called the hotel in New York to confirm that the registration was in their system and avoid being confronted with possibly having to scramble for alternate accommodations in a busy area. But someone buying a travel package should not have to do that much footwork of confirming reservations which each individual vendor. Thank goodness that clerk at the Sheraton got us a room!
The most horrible and pathetic customer service experinece on this site.On hold for the last 45 miins and after that its getting disconnected. Its all crap.stupid site and there's no way one can access anything.they say vist the help center and self service options but there's nothing at all on the site..are you guys insane or what.
I booked a vacation to Amsterdam-Paris on April 17, 2023. the plan is a flight to Amsterdam, then a train trip to Paris, and a flight back to Vancouver from Paris. when we got closer to our vacation, I noticed that we have not received any confirmation for Amsterdam to Paris train trip. I called Costco Travel several times. every time the agent said that they put a note for the train booking department to follow up. nothing happened so far. just keep calling again to find someone to help. agents are polite but no progress. I book the vacation to rest but the way Costco Travel is managing my vacation gives me frustration and disappointment. I lost my trust in Costco Travel by reading the reviews on this page. I m not sure if they booked the rest of my vacation schedule properly.
Costco sold us a package and we upgraded it to include exclusive amenities. When we got to the hotel, those amenities were being given away as a part of time share sales pitches. In addition and more importantly, the upgrades we paid for were not honored. We complained to the hotel and to Costco travel and neither rectified the situation. We spent $400 on upgrades that didn’t exist. No help, had to call several times to talk to anyone. Not the experience I expect from Costco. Funny enough, while we were having our case reviewed by Costco, they removed those amenities from the packages for the hotel. Pretty strong evidence that they knew there was a problem. Too bad they didn’t try to make it right with us.
I was booking without any luck on the Celebrity Website and then found cabins on costcotravel that I could not find on celebrity but could only book one room and the second one disappeared. I called their help line and an agent by the name of Bailey was amazing. He stayed on the line for hours fixing all my name entry mistakes, then found us a better priced veranda and got us the drink package, gratuity and wifi included at no charge. His service, attention to detail and dedication to getting his clients the best value was amazing. We are going with my inlaws so he understood having a suite on the same level but far enough so I have my sanity! (LOL) I tried to contact costco travel in Canada but they have no email contact where I could acknowledge this agent going out of his way to make things perfect for us. I was surprised that Costco Agents don't get to travel using the TA discounts. They really should have that right as most other travel agents do. FAM trips are the best way to enable the agent to do a better job.
Ruined our Tahiti vacation. Due to a delay by Delta Airlines, we missed our connection to Tahiti. Costco Travel gave us the option of taking a later flight though Tahiti Air wanted to charge us an additional $2,000 due to "an increase in ticket prices" even though that flight had only 80% capacity. Also, due to getting in late, they wanted to charge us an additional $400 to stay in a hotel room once we arrived. At this point Costco gave us an option of canceling or throwing good money after bad. We chose to cancel and have had nothing but problems trying to recover our money. Costco Travel is the worst Travel experience we have ever had and will never use them again. Remember, if it sounds to good to be true it probably is. Buyer Beware!
