Are You Allowed to Rent a Timeshare?

Because of the various ownership arrangements in the marketplace today, you’ll want to first conduct some research to determine if you are eligible to rent out your timeshare.

The vast majority of resorts allow owners to rent out timeshares but it’s best to check your ownership documents first to see if there are any restrictions to renting your timeshare If you have any eligibility questions, you should contact your home resort.

Consider the following when you are planning to rent your timeshare:

• Locate Your Ownership Documents – you should have this information on hand to verify what you own.

• Confirm Your Ownership Details – make sure you have all of the facts correct about your timeshare, whether it is the unit configuration, number of bedrooms/bathrooms, view and resort amenities. Renters want to know exactly what they are renting.

• Deeded Timeshare Interest - If you own deeded timeshare, it is considered a piece of deeded real estate and this will allow you to rent out your timeshare similar to renting out a home or a condo.

• Points – you will need to check your ownership documents to make sure you can rent your points. If you can, check the procedure about how to use points to book time for a week to be rented out.

• Exchange Companies – points assigned by timeshare exchange companies cannot be rented out and doing so may lead to your exchange membership being revoked. Also - weeks which are obtained as an exchange week cannot be rented out.

How Much Should You Rent a Timeshare For?

This is one of the most important decisions you can make. To determine the cost of renting a timeshare, most timeshare owners begin with the amount of their annual maintenance fees and work from there, since covering the cost of those fees allows you to keep your timeshare for virtually no annual fee. However, it is more important to assess the market demand for your product.

How to Price your Timeshare Rental

Start by searching the resort profile page for your resort here at BuyaTimeshare.com. Go to the search bar at the top of the page and change the For Sale tab in the bar to For Rent. Then enter the resort name and click onto the resort page that is suggested in the menu. Clicking onto that page will bring you to the Timeshares For Rent page for that resort.

Take a look at the timeshare rental advertisements to see what other owners are asking for their timeshare. You may not always agree with the price others are asking, but at least it will give you an idea of the marketplace. You may also want to check with your resort, if they have a program to rent a timeshare, to find out the price they are asking to rent a similar timeshare.

When researching, keep in mind the variables involved, as timeshare rental prices can be affected by items such as unit size, resort location, unit view, week owned and the season in which you own your timeshare. Let’s face it – a January week in Ocean City isn’t going to rent for the same amount of money as a June week, so keep those elements in mind.

Once you have your details in order and an idea of a price, it’s time to find a renter.
