Timeshare Exchange Companies

Timeshare can be incredibly flexible if you’re a savvy owner. If you fancy a bit of a change, why not exchange your week? Because there are nearly six thousand timeshare resorts across the world, you have many choices. In order to exchange, you must become a member of one of the timeshare exchange companies.

You may choose to return to your home resort year after year. You could trade your week for any of the thousands of affiliated resorts throughout the world. Or you could alternate back and forth between the two!  It is this kind of owner flexibility that brought the timeshare industry from nothing more than a great idea 30 years ago to the multi-billion dollar industry it is today.

Can I Exchange my Timeshare Weeks for Another Resort?

Most reputable timeshares sold are exchangeable around the world through RCI, Interval International, 7Across or other exchange organisations.  As a result, you can choose which company is right for you.
