Renting a DVC villa from an owner can be a great way to save money on your next Disney vacation. The Disney Vacation Club rules and regulations prohibit the commercial renting of Disney Vacation Club points or villas by anyone other than Disney. Individual DVC owners, however, have the right to occasionally rent their unused DVC points to non-owners as long as the primary intention of their ownership is for personal use and enjoyment.
There are two primary ways to locate Disney reservations. Renters can either look for confirmed reservations that have already been booked, or can have a DVC points owner check for availability. The number of points needed will vary based on the dates, the resort, and the villa type requested. It is often very helpful for a renter to review a point chart matrix to understand how many DVC points will be required for the reservation. Rental rates often range from $10. to $13. per point, so it's important to know how many points your reservation will require.
The renter will then contract and pay for the rental directly with the timeshare owner. There are several third party escrow agents who can provide rental escrow services for a small fee if desired. Email me if you need a referral.
Disney will send the reservation confirmation directly to the owner, who must then forward it to the renter. The renter simply brings this with them at check in, and provides a credit card to the front desk for any incidental charges and as a damage deposit. Always be sure to provide the names and ages of all guest who will be staying in the villa, as each guest will get a personalized ID card for the duration of their stay. My children always create a photo album from the vacation and their ID cards are always front in center in the display!
