Later this week, I’m heading to Kalispell, Montana, to hike in Glacier National Park with my friend Angie. I can’t wait – it’s been 10 years since I’ve been in Montana!
Me in Montana – 2007
Though I’m excited, I found it admittedly difficult to cobble this trip together with points and miles – rural places are not kind to our hobby. So I paid about $1,000 out-of-pocket because I really wanted to go.
Here’s how I minimized costs as much as possible.
I rented a car this past weekend in Albuquerque.
And I’m renting another one this upcoming weekend for a work trip to Austin.
I’ve rented enough cars by this point to rely solely on 2 places to look: the Chase Ultimate Rewards portal and Costco Travel. One or the other of them has the best deal almost always.
Laaaa! Behold Costco Travel’s car rental search
For good measure, I usually run a search through Kayak, too – just to be sure.
Last week, I booked through Costco. And this week, I booked through Chase. One of them simply always works out for the best.
