Re: How can I rent a timeshare? (by R P.):

First, I have read up to Page 6 and found all the information very helpful as a first-time owner/renter of timeshare.

We own at Long Wharf in Newport, RI. We just recently found out that we cannot use our timeshare for the week that we booked; therefore, we have considered the option of renting. As someone had mentioned, if we rented directly through the resort, the fee that the resorts takes is astronomical so its more economical for us to rent our timeshare week ourselves.

We have a deed to the property, confirmation number for the week reserved. I have to read through the instructions for posting the week; however, how does the advertising of the rental work? Do people come to this site only, or do you recommend advertising on another web site.

Also, I'm a little confused by the fees for this site. Do you pay the $9.99 to become a member and then an additional $85/year to post a rental?

From Frequently Asked Questions under HELP in upper right hand corner:

How much does it cost to post my timeshare?

Postings can be added to your resort's page at a cost of $19.99 for each 6-month rental posting, and $49.99 for each 12-month resale posting. An active membership is required in order to post and keep all postings active for their full duration. Memberships are available for just $9.99 for 6 months or $14.99 for 12 months.
