Timeshares are a great option to help families in this struggling economy still enjoy some quality time and a relaxing vacation. Below we will discuss five different ways that renting a timeshare will save your family money.

1. Timeshares on the whole cost less than hotels – Timeshare rentals will normally cost less than renting a room at a hotel in the same location. Timeshares will also provide a greater amount of space to stretch out and relax. Generally you will have more privacy as well at a resort instead of being cramped into a hotel room. Some timeshares will provide housekeeping and room service but many of them do not, if this is not important for your family, you will have a great time.

2. Save money on meals – Timeshare resorts usually will provide you with a full kitchen in the unit along with everything you will need to prepare meals. A family of four will normally spend around $160 a day for food while on vacation, imagine eating one or two meals in your unit per day and the savings add up very quickly.

3. Negotiating – Unlike hotels that have set prices many timeshare owners willing to negotiate their stated price. This is especially true if you are able to find a last minute timeshare deal. The closer the owner comes to the use dates of their timeshare the more they are willing to negotiate, this is because if they do not use their timeshare or are able to find someone to use it they will simply lose their time. Many owners would rather receive something even if it is not their full asking price.

4. Timeshare Promotions – Many timeshare resorts will allow you to visit their property at a highly discounted rate. Just like everything else in life there is a catch, most of the time you will have to attend a “Presentation”, complete with high pressure sales people. As long as you have made up your mind before attending the presentation you should be fine and will receive a few nights at a nice resort for a great price.

5. Timeshare exchanges – If you already own a timeshare you might be able to find someone to exchange/trade with for the year. You can actually contact owners directly who are interested in exchange on VacationTimeshareRentals.com. If you choose to exchange directly with an owner you will not have to pay any fees as you would with RCI or Interval International.
