In response to some UK DISers who have expressed an interest in renting / trading with others in the UK, we are happy to accept posts on the UK DVC board for that purpose. However, in line with the main DVC rent / trade board, there are some guidelines originally posted by WebmasterDoc which are well worth repeating here.
Here is a link to the DVC Rent/Trade Board FAQs
Please use this as a reference when seeking DVC reservations or suggesting your willingness to offer reservations.
Other timeshares may be offered in exchange for a DVC reservation and the transfer of DVC points between members are also an appropriate use of this board.
While the DIS is always very proud to share that we have a great record regarding any reported problems with Rent/Trade transactions accomplished as a result of the site, there are some cautions and precautions which we feel renters and members alike should consider before entering into any financial agreement.
Renters should ask for and receive a printed confirmation from the member. The confirmation is always sent to the member, but it should be made in the renter's name and forwarded to the renter. It will contain the confirmation number for the reservation and will allow the renter to call the resort directly to verify their reservation. The member will always retain control over the reservation. DVC has indicated in the contract documents that a rental agreement should be provided to the renter, identifying that the terms of rental will follow the terms the member has agreed to for DVC membership.
Members should be aware that they are subject to all reservation policies of DVC whenever they make a reservation- whether it's for themselves, a guest or a renter. If they make a reservation within 30 days of travel, they are automatically subject to holding account rules should they need to cancel the reservation. Members may want to insist on full payment from a renter before making a reservation within 30 days of arrival, as they will at least lose some value for those points should payment not be received.
Both parties should be aware that there is an element of trust required for these transactions. Both sides should be comfortable with the details of the transaction before agreeing to do business. Either party could have some costly disappointment if they do not prepare for these possibilities in advance.
Discussion about individuals offering/enquiring about rental is not allowed and will be removed. Since we have no means to verify information from any participants in these transactions, we can't allow accusations and will consider them as attacks in violation of our site guidelines.
Posting of availability of reservations, willingness to rent by a member and desire to rent from a member are certainly appropriate. Also welcome are offers to trade reservations at DVC resorts and other locations.
This site cannot accept any responsibility for any rent / trade transactions which may arise as a result of information posted by individuals on this forum, and cannot offer any endorsements of individuals.
