Costco & Sam’s Club Member Savings on a New Chevrolet in Venice, FL

Your warehouse club membership can do a lot more than stock the pantry. Costco and Sam’s Club each run an auto buying program with member pricing, and Jenkins Chevrolet of Venice is where you can put it to work on a new Chevy car, truck, SUV or EV.

Put your membership to work on a new Chevy

Neither Costco nor Sam’s Club sells cars. Your club’s auto program gets you member pricing, and we take care of the rest here in Venice: the test drive, the paperwork, your trade-in and your financing.

The two programs work differently. Costco sets a prearranged, no-haggle price. The Sam’s Club program, powered by TrueCar, shows a personalized price from the dealer with member-only discounts added in. Here’s how each one works, and you can browse our new Chevrolet inventory any time.

Know your program

Two clubs, two ways to save

Pick the program that matches your membership. If you belong to both clubs, you can look at both.

Costco members

Costco Auto Program

Prearranged, no-haggle member pricing

Who it’s for
Costco members, including Executive, Gold Star and Business members.
How the price works
Register online first to get an authorization code and a referral to an Approved Dealer. At the dealership, an Authorized Dealer Contact shows you your Costco Member-Only Price Sheet. Costco Auto Program states that this price will never exceed MSRP.
What stacks on top
Publicly available manufacturer incentives you qualify for, plus Costco member-only incentives when they’re offered on select models.
Also covered
Buying or leasing, since the prearranged price applies either way. Trade-ins are welcome too.
Sam’s Club members

Sam’s Club Auto Buying Program

Powered by TrueCar, with member-only discounts

Who it’s for
Sam’s Club members. You confirm your membership when you sign in, and some special offers require an active membership of at least 60 days.
How the price works
Build and price your Chevrolet on the program site to see a transparent, personalized price from the dealer, with member-only discounts shown once you sign in. Then schedule a visit to confirm pricing in person.
Good to know
Each dealer sets its own pricing on the program, so the final numbers are confirmed with you at the dealership before you sign anything.
Also covered
New and used vehicles, plus a tool to check your current car’s value and get a cash offer.

A club price isn’t the only way to save on a new Chevy. Here’s what else you can bring to the table when you buy.

Plus

Current Chevrolet offers

Costco Auto Program says publicly available manufacturer incentives can be added on top of the prearranged price, as long as you take delivery before the offer ends. Sam’s Club members can ask us which current offers apply to the vehicle they priced.

Plus

Your trade-in

Both programs work with a trade-in, and its value can go straight toward your new Chevrolet. Get an estimate online before you visit so you know where you stand when you walk in.

Plus

Financing set up here

Costco Auto Program doesn’t provide financing, and neither club sells vehicles, so your loan or lease is arranged with our finance team. You can start the application online before you come in.

Member-only incentives from either club change over time and apply to select models. Check your club’s program site for what’s available right now, or browse our current Chevrolet specials.

Member questions

Buying a Chevy with Costco or Sam’s Club: common questions

Can I use my club membership on a Chevrolet?

Yes. Chevrolet is one of the brands you can shop through both the Costco Auto Program and the Sam’s Club Auto Buying Program. Start on your club’s program site, then finish the purchase with the dealership.

Do I have to negotiate the Costco price?

No. Costco Auto Program calls its prearranged price no-haggle and says it will never exceed MSRP. Taxes, fees and any addendum items can still change the out-the-door total, so review the full breakdown before you sign.

Is the Sam’s Club price fixed?

No. The Sam’s Club Auto Buying Program, powered by TrueCar, shows a personalized price from the dealer and adds member-only discounts when you sign in. Each dealer sets its own pricing, and you confirm the final numbers at the dealership.

Can I lease instead of buying?

With Costco Auto Program, yes. Its prearranged price applies whether you lease or buy. If you’re shopping through Sam’s Club, ask our team about lease options on the vehicle you priced.

Does a car count toward my Costco 2% Executive reward?

No. Costco Auto Program says the 2% Executive Member Reward only applies to merchandise bought in the warehouse or on Costco.com.

What should I bring to the dealership?

Bring your membership card, your driver’s license and your program details. If you’re using a Costco member incentive certificate, the member named on it has to be there. Trading in? Bring the title or your loan payoff information too.
