Many prospective timeshare buyers today are daunted by the current state of the timeshare industry. Countless online testimonials of owners wishing to get rid of their timeshare vacation packages have deterred many buyers from purchasing new timeshares. Even current timeshare owners who can no longer sustain timeshare upkeep fees are experiencing problems on how to get rid of their timeshares for a profit in the shortest time possible. Yet, there is still a way out for both prospective buyers and owners waiting for their timeshares to be sold, that is, in the form of timeshare rentals.

Vacationers who cannot afford to purchase a new timeshare vacation package, or who could afford it but are discouraged by the expenses of timeshare maintenance, may always rent other timeshares. By doing so, they can experience the timeshare vacation of their dream, without outright purchase of a timeshare. In addition, renting timeshare units have the further advantage that vacationers can always choose where their vacation would be, as long as there are timeshare units for rent in that particular location.

Furthermore, due to the high supply of timeshare units in the market today and an unfortunate lack on timeshare demand, prospective timeshare sellers sometimes have to wait a long time for a buyer. During the span of time from the posting of their timeshare until its eventual sale, the timeshare owner is still responsible for all maintenance fees during this period. Hence, renting their timeshares out temporarily is a means of relief from timeshare maintenance fees as well as other special assessment charges.
