RENTING YOUR POINTS
What does it mean to rent your points?
What does renting DVC points actually mean?
Renting your DVC points does not transfer or sell your Disney Vacation Club ownership. Instead, you use your points to make a reservation for a Guest and receive an agreed payout in return.
The reservation remains under your control as the DVC Member. The Guest receives the right to stay in the accommodation but does not gain access to your Membership, account or points.
When might renting your points be useful?
Renting can be worth considering when you know that some or all of your points are unlikely to be used.
If your points are still eligible to be banked and you expect to use them next year, banking may be the simpler option. If not, renting can help you make use of points that might otherwise expire.
How renting through DVC Rental UK works
DVC Rental UK acts as the intermediary between you and the Guest. We source suitable requests, coordinate the booking details, manage communication and administer the payments.

How and when are Members paid?
Your applicable payout rate is confirmed in pounds before you accept a reservation. Once accepted, the agreed payout for that reservation is fixed in accordance with the Member Agreement.
Paid within three business days once the Guest has paid in full and the DVC confirmation has been verified.
The remaining half is paid on the Guest’s check-in date.
Payments are made by bank transfer in GBP to your nominated account.
What information should you have ready?
These details help us understand which Guest requests your points could be used for.
Point status matters because different points can have different expiry dates and booking restrictions.
Points or a confirmed reservation?
Renting available points
Your points are matched with a new Guest request. Once you accept the request, you make the reservation using the Guest details provided.
Renting a confirmed reservation
An existing reservation may be offered for its exact dates, resort and accommodation. Suitability and availability should be checked with us before anything is changed or cancelled.
Why your Home Resort and timing matter
Members can normally book their Home Resort up to 11 months before check-in and other DVC resorts up to 7 months before check-in. Points available during the Home Resort window may therefore be especially useful for popular resorts and travel dates.
Points offered close to expiry can be more difficult to match because there are fewer possible travel dates and less resort availability. Matching is not guaranteed, so it is generally best to make unused points available as early as possible.
What remains your responsibility?
You remain responsible for your Membership and the reservation throughout the rental.
DVC Rental UK handles communication with the Guest. The Guest manages their own travel, park tickets and most dining arrangements, while any approved request requiring access to the DVC Membership is passed back to you.
