What is a Timeshare?

Timeshares are one of the best ways to vacation. A timeshare unit is usually a condo, villa, cabin, or ski resort and most offer the conveniences of kitchens and kitchenettes, dining areas, bedrooms and living rooms. Each unit is divided up into 52 one-week periods each year with one week reserved for maintenance and refurbishing. The remaining 51 weeks are sold to individuals and families for vacation use.

There are two types of weeks available for timeshare ownership, fixed weeks and floating weeks. On a fixed week, a timeshare owner is guaranteed the same week at their resort every year or every other year depending on ownership.

Knowing that many families cannot vacation at the same time every year, the timeshare industry and resorts came up with the idea of a floating week. With a floating week, an owner still has one week per year (or every other year) at a specific resort. The owner simply has to make a reservation with the resort in advance to use their week.

In addition to the initial purchase price for the timeshare week, an owner must also pay annual maintenance fees. The maintenance fees cover everything from insurance and maintenance to resort staff and cable. Maintenance fees are different for each resort and may be determined by either the homeowners association (HOA�s) or by the resort itself. Maintenance fees may increase over time and are often subject to change.

 
What are Exchange Companies?

Timeshare owners may love their home resort, but may also want to travel to other locations. Exchange companies, such as RCI, allow timeshare owners to exchange weeks at their home resort for time at another resort within their exchange network.

Membership with an exchange company involves a small annual fee. In order to exchange a timeshare week an owner should join the exchange company directly affiliated with their resort. Resort Condominiums International (RCI) and Interval International (II) are two of the oldest and largest exchange companies in the world. Membership and exchange fees with these companies are minimal and every member receives complete timeshare catalogs, which contain pictures and descriptions of thousands of resorts throughout the world. Exchange companies also offer Internet sites for members to search through a directory of resorts.
