How to Rent a Timeshare

It can be difficult finding the perfect timeshare to rent, but there are many available deals. Information regarding timeshares can be found in different places depending on what method the owner decides to use. Timeshares are popular and are a breeding ground for scams. It’s important to learn the proper way to search for legitimate timeshares and what to watch out for.

Browse the web: There are websites that allow consumers to search for different timeshare listings that are offered in various locations. These listings will usually include packaging plans, amenities, and additional contact information.

Classified ads: Often times a local newspaper will have listings of timeshare packages that are currently available nationwide. The ads should have important contact information such as a telephone number, email address or website.

Hotels and resorts: Many hotels can offer customers information on timeshare events that are scheduled in the near future. Be sure to ask how to get in contact with the company that will be hosting the timeshare event, and if they could offer any information about the registration process.

Scams to avoid: Beware of telemarketers or mailings that require your checking account number in order to be eligible for a timeshare opportunity. If you are unsure whether a company is legit, you can research the company's information on the Better Business Bureau's website at BBB.org.
