If you own one or more vacation timeshares and rentals, it is likely the case that there are times when you are unable to use it when you had planned. You might be a bit too low on funds to take that vacation you had been thinking about; and of course we all know how things come up when you least expect it. Even when the accommodations are already there for you and paid; there are plenty of other expenses which go into a vacation.
In this case, what should you do with your timeshare week? If you do nothing you might lose it. You paid all that money to own it; you might as well get something out of it.
One thing you can do is to rent your vacation timeshare to someone. You can make some extra money this way; or at the very least cover your expenses. But how do you do this?
Since you own vacation timeshares and rentals, you probably only go there once a year at the most. This means you're probably not familiar with the area and might not know where to start. Don't worry, though. Renting a timeshare is easier than you think.
The first consideration is how much rent you will be asking for your timeshare. While you don't want to price yourself out of the market, you also don't want to ask for too little and sell your timeshare short. One of the easiest ways is to call the resort pretending to be interested in renting a similar timeshare and see what they quote you for the week.
Your vacation timeshares and rentals company may also have a rental program in place already. The resort wants to maintain full occupancy or as close to it as possible to make more money from food, drinks and other services. This is why they may well already have a system in place to rent your timeshare. Ask them about it and decide whether or not they are offering you a deal which is fair; you don't need to accept less if you could rent it out for yourself.
If you decide to do it yourself, you may have to accept a little less than what the resort would charge; after all, they have an advertising budget and an established client base to draw upon. Your budget is more limited and you may have to take what you can find.
Once you get someone that wants to rent your timeshare, you have to make sure everything is straight on the paperwork end. You need to get a good renter's agreement that spells out everything in writing. You want every possible scenario in writing. Sometimes it's the only recourse you have against a bad renter.
When accepting payment, Paypal is a great tool to use. This way it gives the buyer some sense of security. It makes them feel like they're not mailing money to a nameless P.O. Box somewhere and potentially losing their money. Paypal handles all the receipts and proof of purchase documents. This eliminates a lot of headaches for you.
You should make sure to get your money in advance. This won't be a problem with most potential renters; if a renter has a problem with this, look for another renter. If you follow these tips, you should have no trouble turning your vacation timeshares and rentals into a virtual ATM machine!
