Humans say...

try calling this number 1-855-863-0357 they should be able to tell you about whether it is allowed and if there are any liabilities if you book for someone else

I just used Costco for Alamo. They didn't ask for Costco card
Kate
My experience too... thanks
Jennifer
Budget in Vegas asked me for my Costco card last month
Kate
Damn! Thanks ha ha

I have used Costco US multiple times in Vegas and other places and not once asked for my card. You would need to reserve it under your friends name though as they have to use their credit card when signing for the car.
Technically Costco US car rental is only for US residents but I have never had an issue.
Kate
Yep, booked it in his name! Good point about the US thing. I use it all the time with my Canadian card.

I used alamo on 2 different Hawaiian islands this past May and was never asked for my Costco card.

Can You Rent a Car Through Costco If You're Not the Cardholder?
Yes, you can rent a car through the American Costco website even if you are not the cardholder. However, there are a few things to keep in mind.
- The driver must be at least 25 years old and have a valid driver's license.
- The driver must be authorized to drive the car by the cardholder.
- The cardholder must be present at the time of rental and provide their Costco membership card.
If you are not the cardholder, you will need to provide the cardholder's name, membership number, and authorization to drive the car. You will also need to provide your own driver's license and proof of insurance.
Once you have provided all of the necessary information, you can book your rental car through the Costco website. The rental car will be in the cardholder's name, but you will be able to drive the car.
What if I'm not authorized to drive the car?
If you are not authorized to drive the car, you will not be able to rent a car through the Costco website. The cardholder must authorize you to drive the car before you can book the rental.
What if I don't have my own driver's license?
If you do not have your own driver's license, you will not be able to rent a car through the Costco website. The driver must have a valid driver's license in order to rent a car.
What if I don't have proof of insurance?
If you do not have proof of insurance, you will not be able to rent a car through the Costco website. The driver must provide proof of insurance in order to rent a car.
Conclusion
Renting a car through the Costco website is a great way to save money on your next rental. However, it is important to make sure that you meet all of the requirements before you book your rental. If you have any questions, please contact Costco customer service.

Can anyone advise on the logistics of renting a car through the American Costco website when the driver is not the card holder.
I often use the Costco site when I book for myself, and was going to book a car for a friend. I don't think in the past rental companies have asked for my Costco card. Anyone else?
