Re: How Safe Is It To Rent?? (by Laura C.):

hi, this is an old message board, so not sure if anyone will see it or not...but Travel Guard does not insure timeshares.

I called them and asked, "if I rent from someone, and my kid gets sick, which means we would not be able to make the trip, will you ensure us?" Oh, of course, blah blah blah, I will send you the info, $67 etc...well, I actually read the fine print, saw something that made me wonder otherwise, then called back and reasked the question. At that point, I was told, they DO NOT insure timeshares. I was very specific that I was renting a unit from a private owner, and they were very specific in telling me they would not cover me.

I would like to find an insurance company that would cover though, any suggestions?
