How to Rent Out Your Timeshare
If you’re not planning to use your timeshare this year, renting it out can be a smart way to cover annual maintenance fees or even earn extra income. With the right strategy, renting your timeshare can be easy, safe, and profitable.
1. Check Your Contract First
Before listing your timeshare for rent, review your ownership contract. Some resorts or developers have specific rules about subletting or renting. Make sure you understand:
- Whether renting is allowed.
- How many days or weeks you can rent out.
- Any required resort approvals or fees.
2. Set the Right Rental Price
Research what other owners are charging for similar timeshares at your resort or area. Prices depend on:
- Location and resort quality.
- Season (peak weeks rent for more).
- Size and amenities of your unit.
Websites like RedWeek, Timeshare Users Group (TUG), or Airbnb can help you compare rental rates.
3. Choose a Trusted Platform
List your timeshare on reliable sites or local travel groups. Popular options include:
- RedWeek.com – dedicated to timeshare rentals and sales.
- Airbnb or Vrbo – great for reaching global travelers.
- Your resort’s internal system – some resorts offer official rental programs.
4. Create a Professional Listing
Your rental ad should include:
- Clear, high-quality photos.
- Details like number of guests, amenities, and location.
- Available dates and total price.
- Contact information for quick communication.
A well-written description with honest details will attract more renters and build trust.
5. Sign a Simple Rental Agreement
Even if you’re renting for a short time, protect yourself with a written agreement. It should include:
- Names of both parties.
- Check-in/check-out dates.
- Total payment and deposit terms.
- Responsibilities for damages or cancellations.
6. Handle Payments Securely
Always use secure platforms (like PayPal, Airbnb, or escrow services). Avoid direct bank transfers with unknown renters.
Conclusion
Renting out your timeshare can turn unused vacation weeks into extra income. By understanding your resort’s rules, pricing fairly, and using safe payment methods, you can rent your property with confidence and peace of mind.
