I intend to rent my timeshare week in 2011 instead of using it myself. I am a member at Grande Aruba, however I plan to offer a week at a resort in the D.R. or Mexico, due to lower AI fees there compared to Aruba. I am finding the process quite confusing - and I need some help. First, about the all-inclusive fee: is it paid at he time of reservation, or by the renter upon arrival? Also, what is the customary value assigned to the room when one rents it to another party? I am doing the math & not finding much profit potential for me, by the time I factor in the AI fee - especially when I compare with what one could find by booking with the resort directly. Should I make a reservation and hope for a renter who wants that exact week, or offer a range of dates and hope that what the renter wants is available at the time when he/she is in contact with me? HELP!!! Thanks to any one who can share their experience with this.
