Renters

What are timeshare rentals by owner?

Timeshare rentals by owner are vacation properties made available directly by the owner, not through the resort or hotel. These listings often offer better rates, flexible terms, and access to top-tier resort accommodations.

Which unit will I get?

You’ll receive a reservation for a unit in the size/view category listed. Like hotel bookings, exact unit assignments are handled by the resort. You’re welcome to submit location preferences, which we can pass along.

How do I contact the property owner?

You don’t need to. Travelscowt handles all communication. Use the booking form or call us directly. We manage everything for a seamless experience.

Do you allow pets?

Family pets are not permitted. Service animals that perform specific tasks for a guest with a disability are welcome.

Booking and payments

How do I book a property?

Each listing includes a “Request to Book” button. Submit your dates, and if available, you’ll receive a full quote and next steps to confirm your stay.

When is payment due?

Payment terms vary by season and lead time. High-demand weeks may require full payment upfront. Otherwise, we typically ask for a 50% deposit when booking 8+ months out.

Owners

Why shouldn’t I rent my timeshare myself?

You absolutely can. But most owners don’t have the time or marketing reach to rent effectively. We handle every step (strategy, listing, and payment) so you don’t have to.

How do you “monetize” my points?

We receive hundreds of requests each month for brand-name resorts. We reserve available weeks with your points and offer them at competitive rates. Once rented, we send you the funds.

When do I get paid?

We typically pay you after the rental transaction is completed. For bookings made more than 8 months in advance, we collect a 50% deposit upfront and pay you half immediately. The rest is paid 90 days before check-in.

Safety

Is booking a timeshare rental safe?

Yes. All listings on Travelscowt are submitted by verified owners and reviewed by our team. We manage the transaction from start to finish and provide you with one all-in quote. No surprises.

What’s your privacy policy?

We do not share your mobile number or personal data for marketing purposes. By submitting your phone number, you consent to receive SMS communication related to your booking. Message & data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out.
