Looking for a Costco gas station near me? Costco sells some of the cheapest fuel in the country, usually 10 to 30 cents a gallon below the local average, at the gas stations attached to its warehouses. Use the map below to find the nearest Costco gas, then read on for hours, prices, which cards they take, and whether you need a membership.
Costco Gas Station Map: Find One Near You
The map shows Costco warehouses and their gas stations around you. Search your city or zip, then open a location for its address, hours, and directions. Costco fuel is sold at the warehouse pumps (with a few new standalone stations now rolling out), so most pins mark a full Costco warehouse.

How to Find Costco Gas Near You
With around 600 US warehouses, most of them with a gas station, there’s a good chance a Costco is within driving distance. Three ways to find Costco gas near you:
- The map above – search your area for the nearest Costco and its address.
- Google Maps – search “Costco gas station near me” for locations, directions, and current hours.
- Costco’s warehouse locator on Costco.com or the Costco app, which lists each warehouse’s gas hours and the current fuel prices posted at that location.
Costco is also opening its first members-only standalone gas stations, separate from a warehouse, with the first in Mission Viejo, California, in 2026. Expect more fuel-only Costco sites over time.
Costco Gas Hours
Costco gas hours are set per location and usually differ from both regular gas stations and the warehouse itself, the pumps typically open earlier and close later so members can fill up outside warehouse hours. The general pattern:
| When | Typical Costco gas hours |
|---|---|
| Weekdays | Around 6 AM to 9 PM (opens before and closes after the warehouse) |
| Saturday | Roughly 6 AM to 8 PM |
| Sunday | Shorter, often 7 AM to 7 PM |
| New standalone stations | 5 AM to 10 PM daily (e.g. Mission Viejo, CA) |
Is Costco gas open now?
To check whether a specific Costco is open right now, look it up on the map above or in the Costco app, both show that warehouse’s gas hours. Note that Costco gas is not open 24 hours anywhere, so for late-night fuel you’ll want a different station. See our guide to stations open all night if you’re filling up after hours.
Costco gas holiday hours
Unlike most gas stations, Costco closes completely on several major holidays, and the gas station closes along with the warehouse:
| Holiday | Costco gas |
|---|---|
| New Year’s Day, Easter, Memorial Day, July 4th, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas | Closed (warehouse and gas both shut) |
| All other days | Open normal hours |
Costco Gas Prices: Why It’s So Cheap
Costco gas is consistently among the cheapest you can buy, typically 10 to 30 cents a gallon under the US average and often 10 to 25 cents below nearby stations. It’s cheap by design: Costco treats fuel as a loss leader to pull members through the door, moves enormous volume at thin margins, and limits the pumps to members. The fuel is Costco’s own Kirkland Signature gasoline. To see today’s price, look up your warehouse in the Costco app, prices are posted per location. The trade-off is the lines, popular warehouses back up at peak times, so early weekday mornings are usually quickest.
Do You Need a Membership for Costco Gas?
Yes. Costco gas is members only, you scan your membership card at the pump before fueling. There’s one workaround: a Costco Shop Card (Costco’s prepaid gift card) lets you pay at the pump without a membership, although only a member can buy or reload the card. So a non-member can fuel up at Costco if a member gives them a loaded Shop Card.
What Cards Does Costco Gas Accept?
Costco gas pumps take Visa credit cards, most debit cards, and the Costco Shop Card. They do not accept cash, American Express, Mastercard, or Discover. If you fuel up at Costco often, the Costco Anywhere Visa earns 5% cash back on Costco gas and 4% on other gas (on a combined $7,000 a year, then 1%), which stacks on top of the already-low pump price.
Is Costco Gas Good? Top Tier and Kirkland Signature
Yes. Costco’s Kirkland Signature fuel is Top Tier certified, meaning it carries more cleaning detergent than the EPA minimum, the same quality standard met by Shell, Chevron, BP, and ExxonMobil. So you’re getting some of the cheapest and some of the best fuel at the same time. Costco sells two grades, Regular and Premium (it skips midgrade), plus diesel at select warehouses:
| Costco fuel | Octane | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Regular (Kirkland Signature) | 87 | Top Tier, the everyday grade most drivers use |
| Premium (Kirkland Signature) | 91 | Top Tier, for cars that require premium |
| Diesel | n/a | Available at select Costco locations only |
Costco vs the Major Brands
Against Shell, BP, Chevron, and ExxonMobil, the fuel quality is a wash, all are Top Tier. Costco almost always wins on price, frequently 20 to 40 cents a gallon less. The majors win on convenience: no membership, no lines, far more locations, longer hours, and stations open 24 hours. If you have a membership and a Costco on your route, it’s the cheapest fill-up around. If not, any Top Tier brand will do.

Is Costco Gas Worth the Membership?
If you drive enough to use it regularly, almost certainly. The per-gallon savings alone can cover the annual membership for many households, and you get Top Tier fuel at the lowest price around. The downsides are real, members only, no late-night or holiday fueling, fewer locations, and lines at peak times. If those don’t fit your routine, a nearby Top Tier brand with a rewards app may be more convenient. For more ways to pay less, see our guide to the cheapest gas stations near you.
