I was wondering how successful people are in renting their timeshares, we are not using our timeshare this year so can't decide between depositing with RCI or trying to rent on redweek.com. We own at Grand Beach Resort in Orlando.

Success in renting out your unit depends on a number of factors. One is the price. Check to see what similar units are renting for and price yours accordingly and competitively.

Second, the demand based on unit size, time of year, location, etc. For instance, a 2-BR unit in Maui during Christmas will fetch a lot more attention and money than a Studio in Las Vegas during September.

The third is where you advertise. RedWeek is definitely a good start. Some other possibilities are Craigslist, E-Bay, My Resort Network, and Timeshare Users Group to name a few. But whatever you do, never ever pay anyone a large, upfront fee to rent out (or sell,market, or "cancel") your timeshare.
