Rivian Costco Discount: Save $1,000–$5,000
Costco members get exclusive pricing on R1S, R1T, and R2 models through the Costco Auto Program. Here's exactly how to claim your discount and stack it with other savings.
Actual discounts vary by model and configuration. Costco membership required.
How the Costco Auto Program Works
Costco's partnership with Rivian brings exclusive member pricing through prearranged relationships with Rivian representatives.
Membership Required
Must be a current Costco member. Executive membership not required – standard membership qualifies for all Rivian discounts.
Prearranged Pricing
Costco negotiates bulk pricing with Rivian, passing savings directly to members. No haggling required.
Approved Representatives
Connect with Costco-approved Rivian representatives who honor the program pricing and provide white-glove service.
Simple Process
Enter your Costco member number online, get connected with a Rivian representative, configure your Rivian, and receive your discount.
Current Discount Amounts by Model
Savings vary by configuration. Higher-end models typically qualify for larger discounts.
*R2 discounts subject to change at launch. Pricing includes destination fees.
Step-by-Step Process to Claim Your Discount
The process is straightforward, but timing matters for maximizing savings.
Verify Costco Membership
Ensure your Costco membership is current and active. Standard membership is sufficient – Executive membership provides no additional Rivian benefits.
Access Costco Auto Program
Visit costcoauto.com and search for Rivian vehicles. You'll need your Costco member number to access pricing.
Get Connected with Rivian Guide
Costco will connect you with a Rivian Guide who participates in the program. This is typically a Rivian representative at a Service Center or authorized location.
Configure Your Rivian
Work with the Rivian Guide to configure your R1S, R1T, or R2. Mention any other discounts you want to stack (referral code, employer discounts, etc.).
Verify Discount Application
Confirm the Costco discount appears on your order summary before finalizing. The discount should be clearly itemized.
Complete Purchase
Finalize your order through the approved Rivian representative. Your Costco discount will be applied at the point of sale.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need Executive membership for the Rivian discount?
No. Standard Costco membership ($60/year) qualifies you for all Rivian Auto Program discounts. Executive membership provides no additional Rivian-specific benefits.
Can I use the Costco discount with Rivian's online configurator?
Not directly. You must go through Costco's Auto Program and work with their approved Rivian representatives. However, you can research configurations online first, then work with the Costco representative to place your order.
How much can I really save combining Costco + referral code?
On a Tri-Motor R1T Max Pack (MSRP $99,900), you could save $5,000 (Costco) + $500 store credit (referral) + 3 months free charging. Total value exceeds $5,500.
Does the discount apply to R2 pre-orders?
Costco has indicated R2 models will be included in the Auto Program, but specific discount amounts for R2 may not be finalized until closer to launch (Spring 2026).
Can I get the Costco discount on a lease?
Typically, yes. Costco Auto Program discounts usually apply to both financing and leasing, but confirm with your Rivian representative as lease terms can be more complex.
What if I'm already in contact with a Rivian representative?
You may still be able to apply Costco pricing to an existing inquiry, but it's best to start fresh through the Costco Auto Program to ensure you receive all available discounts.
Are there any hidden fees with Costco pricing?
No. Costco's prearranged pricing is transparent and typically includes destination fees. The discount shown is the discount you get – no fine print or additional charges.
How long does the Costco pricing last?
Costco Auto Program pricing is typically good for a specific time period (usually 30-60 days) once you receive your pricing certificate. Confirm the expiration date with your Rivian representative.
