Rent Out Timeshare FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions About Renting Out Your Timeshare

Renting out your timeshare is a great way to earn some money back to cover your maintenance fees while you are waiting for your timeshare to sell. Or, maybe you’re not ready to sell! Rent out your Ka’anapali timeshare on any given year to pay your maintenance fees if you’re not able to visit your timeshare. Questions? Here are some answers to commonly asked questions about renting your timeshare.

Can I rent out my timeshare?

You can rent out your timeshare as long as you are the owner and your ownership/membership contract does not contain any restrictions prohibiting you from renting it out — whether your timeshare is deeded, right-to-use, a vacation club membership, or timeshare points.

It is important to note that you cannot rent out a week you’ve received in exchange. You can only rent out a timeshare for which you own the deed or certificate. Exchange companies like RCI and Interval International will ban you from future exchanges for renting out a week or points for which you’ve traded.

What are the benefits of renting out my timeshare?

Renting out your timeshare week or vacation club points is a great way to make the most of your vacation ownership even during those years you aren’t able to use it. You can use the income you receive from renting out your Ka’anapali timeshare to pay for your maintenance fees, so you’re not losing out on your time.

How should I price my timeshare rental?

We suggest that you set your timeshare rental price based on supply and demand. Our resort rental specialists will compare your rental unit to other similar units on the market to help you determine how much it is worth.

  7. Acquire a confirmation number or guest passes from the resort for your renters.
  8. Request the final deposit from your renter in exchange for the confirmation number or guest passes.

How can I be certain the renter will pay the rental costs?

You and the renter will sign a rental agreement prior to the agreed rental period. The agreement protects both parties and explicitly states that the renter will pay in full for the timeshare rental. As the owner, you will notify the timeshare resort that the renter will be staying during the specified rental period and obtain either a confirmation number or guest passes for the renter. It is important for both you and the renter to have copies of the agreement. The rental agreement will guarantee that you receive payment for the use of the timeshare and that the renter will have a timeshare reserved in his or her name.
