All Threads and Posts on the DVC Rent/Transfer Board are subject to these policies
The DVC Rent/Transfer Board is the only allowed classified ad area of the DISboards.com forums. Offers to rent and rental requests posted on other DISboards Forums, offers made via PM or email (unless the potential renter initiated contact), and offers made in approved threads of other DVC Members are not allowed. DVC-Members may use this board to offer to make reservations for others and transfer points to/from other DVC members. Potential renters may use this board to post requests for a DVC Resort reservation in an existing rental thread posted by a DVC Member. Offers for the rental of other timeshare resorts and exchanges are NOT allowed on this board.
All transactions are handled privately between the individuals involved. DVC rental transactions do not directly involve Disney, Disney Vacation Club or DISboards.com . DISboards.com will not intervene in any issues resulting from these private transactions. DISboards.com does not endorse anyone offering rentals or transfers and all transactions should be viewed as "Buyer Beware". We encourage all parties to use due diligence when participating in any rental transaction. DISboards.com cannot and will not be held responsible for any private transactions between the parties involved in these transactions.
Note: This is NOT a discussion board. Questions about how rent/transfer works should be asked on our DVC Member Services Forum. Comments about rentals or resorts are not welcome on this board. Unless you are making a rental request or responding to one, no other comments are allowed.
'For Sale' posts and 'Want-to-Buy' posts of any type are not allowed
A Word to the Wise
The DIS is very proud to share that we have a great record over the past 22+ years regarding reported problems with Rent/Transfer transactions accomplished as a result of this site. There are some precautions which we feel renters and members alike should consider before entering into any financial agreement.
Renters should ask for and receive a printed confirmation from the member. The confirmation is always sent to the member, but it should be made in the renter's name and forwarded to the renter. It will contain the confirmation number for the reservation and will allow the renter to verify their reservation using the My Disney Experience application. Please recognize that the DVC Member will always retain control over the reservation until the guest has checked into the Resort. Disney has indicated in the DVC contract documents that a rental agreement must be provided to the renter, identifying that the terms of rental will follow the terms the member has agreed to for DVC membership.
Members should be aware that they are subject to all reservation policies of DVC whenever they make a reservation- whether it's for themselves, a guest or a renter. If they make a reservation within 30 days of travel, they are automatically subject to holding account rules should they need to cancel the reservation. Members may want to insist on full payment from a renter before making a reservation within 30 days of arrival, as they will at least lose some value for those points should payment not be received.
Both parties should be aware that there is an element of trust required for these transactions. Both sides should be comfortable with the details of the transaction before agreeing to do business. Either party could have some costly disappointment if they do not prepare for these possibilities in advance.
We suggest that renters should ask for (and check) references from the member they are working with as well as review past posts on the DIS by that member.
Renters should request and be provided the home address and home telephone number of the DVC member as a reference.
The following threads contain additional important information for those considering renting a reservation:
