Getting Started With Renting Out DVC Points
How do I rent out my DVC points?
Getting started is easy. Simply visit the DVC Rental Store website and click “Rent Your Points” in the upper right-hand corner. From there, you’ll complete a short onboarding process and gain access to our Member Center, which serves as your home base for all things point rentals.
Inside the Member Center, you can browse available Guest rental requests and claim reservations that match your available points. Once you claim a request, you’ll receive the booking details needed to secure the stay for the Guest. After the reservation is booked and verified, your part of the process is complete. You can also enter your available points to receive automated email alerts for matching rental opportunities and even list a Confirmed Reservation if you have an existing Disney Vacation Club stay that you’re no longer able to use.
Does DVC allow members to rent out their DVC points?
Yes. Disney Vacation Club Members are permitted to rent their Vacation Points, and information regarding point usage and rental policies can be found on both the Disney Vacation Club website and the DVC Rental Store Blog. While Disney has policies prohibiting the commercial use of Memberships, occasional point rentals by Members have long been an accepted and common practice.
At the DVC Rental Store, we serve as a trusted intermediary, helping Members safely and securely rent unused points when they are unable to use them themselves. Our role is to facilitate the transaction, provide protections for both parties, and make the rental process simple and transparent.
Why do members rent out their DVC points?
Every Member’s reason for renting out their DVC points is different, but it usually comes down to one thing: getting value from a Disney Vacation Club Membership they are not planning to use. Some Members may be taking a different type of vacation that year and want to put the value of their points toward those travel expenses, while others may have an unexpected financial need, such as a major home repair, appliance replacement, or car expense.
One of the biggest advantages of DVC ownership is the flexibility to make your points work for you even when you are not using them for a Disney vacation. DVC Rental Store helps Members navigate the rental process and look for opportunities to maximize the value of their unused points.
What happens after I submit my DVC points for rent?
This is actually a common misconception. In most cases, Members are not simply submitting points and waiting for them to rent. Through the DVC Rental Store, there are three primary ways to rent your points.
First, you can browse and claim open Guest requests within the Member Center. These are reservation requests that Guests have already submitted for specific resorts, dates, and room types. By claiming a request, you’re indicating that you have points available to fulfill that stay, and we’ll provide you with the information needed to book the reservation for the Guest.
Second, you can enter your available points into our system and receive automated email alerts whenever new Guest requests match your resort, point availability, and travel timeframe.
Finally, if you already have a Disney Vacation Club reservation booked that you’re unable to use, you can list it as a Confirmed Reservation on our website. We will then market that reservation to Guests who can purchase the stay exactly as it has been booked.
Do I have to make the DVC reservation myself?
Yes. As the Disney Vacation Club Member, you will need to make the reservation on behalf of the Guest through your DVC account, just as you would when booking a stay for yourself. You’ll enter the requested dates and room type, add the Guest’s information, secure the reservation, and then provide the 12-digit reservation number to the DVC Rental Store team to complete the booking process.
You may also be asked to help with small reservation updates along the way, such as adjusting Guest names or adding requests like the Disney Dining Plan, celebrations, or room-location preferences.
Earnings and Payment
How much can I earn by renting out my DVC points?
At the DVC Rental Store, we believe in maximizing the value of your Disney Vacation Club ownership. In fact, we’ve paid out more than $100 million to DVC Members and continuously monitor the rental market to ensure our payouts remain competitive and reflect current demand.
The amount you can earn depends on several factors, including your home resort, the number of points available, and when those points can be used. Resorts with strong demand and limited availability, such as Disney’s Beach Club Villas, Disney’s Polynesian Villas & Bungalows, and The Villas at Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel, often command some of our highest payouts, particularly within the 7 to 11 month home resort booking window. Other popular resorts, including Saratoga Springs, Old Key West, Hilton Head, and Vero Beach, also rent successfully, though payouts may vary depending on booking flexibility and market demand.
Because pricing is driven by supply and demand, we regularly adjust our payout rates to ensure Members receive the highest value possible for their points.
How much does the DVC Rental Store payout for DVC points?
DVC Rental Store payouts vary based on several factors, including your home resort, how far in advance the points can be used, and current Guest demand. Points that can be used during the 7-to-11-month home resort booking window will often have a higher payout than points that are already within the 0-to-7-month booking window.
Because payout rates can change over time, the best way to see what your points may be worth is to check the current rates for your home resort or use our DVC point value calculator for an estimate based on the number of points you want to rent.
When do I get paid for renting out my DVC points?
When you rent your DVC points through DVC Rental Store, you’ll receive 75% of your payout within 2–3 days after the reservation is secured for the Guest. This gives you access to most of your rental proceeds shortly after the booking is completed.
The remaining 25% is paid 2–3 days after the Guest checks in for their stay.
How are payments handled for DVC Members?
DVC Rental Store offers several convenient ways for Members to receive their rental proceeds. PayPal is typically the quickest and most convenient option, but Members can also choose to be paid by ACH (Direct Deposit) or check.
You can also put your rental proceeds toward a different type of vacation through the DVC Rental Store Swap Program, giving you the flexibility to turn unused DVC points into another travel experience instead of receiving a traditional cash payout.
Demand and Timing
How quickly will my DVC points rent?
How quickly your points rent depends on several factors, including your home resort, when your points expire, and whether you still have access to your 7 to 11 month home resort booking window. Many Guests prefer to plan their vacations well in advance to secure specific resorts, room types, and travel dates, so points with early booking flexibility will often rent the quickest.
Our advice is simple: if you know you won’t be using your points, let us know as soon as possible. The earlier your points are entered into our system, the more opportunities we have to match them with Guest requests. As points move into the 0 to 7 month booking window, or if they are tied to resorts with lower demand, they may take longer to rent.
To maximize your chances of renting quickly, keep an eye on the Open Listings section of the DVC Rental Store Member Center and be sure to enter your available points so you can receive automated email alerts whenever matching Guest requests become available.
What if my DVC points do not rent?
It is highly unlikely that your DVC points will simply sit unrented. The DVC rental market has historically seen strong Guest demand from travelers looking to stay in Disney Vacation Club accommodations while saving money compared with booking directly through Disney, which means DVC Rental Store is regularly looking for Member points to help fulfill rental requests.
If your points are getting close to their expiration date, additional options may be available, such as using them to book a confirmed reservation that can then be listed for rent. Ultimately, however, any points that remain unused at the end of your Use Year will expire, so it is always best to start the rental process as early as possible.
Point Eligibility and Options
Can I rent out banked DVC points?
Yes, banked DVC points can be rented out through DVC Rental Store. However, banking is a final transaction and cannot be reversed, so we generally recommend waiting to bank your points until you see an available rental request that requires them to be moved into the next Use Year.
This helps preserve as much flexibility as possible with your Membership while still allowing you to take advantage of rental opportunities when they become available.
Can I rent out borrowed DVC points?
Yes, borrowed DVC points can also be rented out through DVC Rental Store. Because borrowing is a final transaction and cannot be undone, we recommend waiting to borrow points until you see an available rental request that requires additional points from a future Use Year.
By waiting until a specific rental opportunity is available, you can avoid unnecessarily committing future points before you know they are needed.
Can I rent out DVC points that are expiring soon?
DVC points that are very close to expiration can be difficult to rent through a traditional Guest request because last-minute DVC availability is often limited. In these situations, we typically recommend using the points to book a confirmed reservation based on current availability, then listing that reservation for rent through DVC Rental Store.
Because last-minute Guests often expect a discount, confirmed reservations using expiring points may need to be priced more aggressively and could result in a lower payout than a standard rental. However, this can still be a valuable option compared with allowing the points to expire unused at the end of your Use Year.
Can I rent out a confirmed DVC reservation?
Yes. If you have an existing Disney Vacation Club reservation that you’re no longer able to use due to changes in travel plans, illness, financial reasons, or any other circumstance, you can list it as a Confirmed Reservation with the DVC Rental Store.
Simply provide us with the details of your reservation, including the resort, room type, travel dates, and your desired price per point. We’ll then list the reservation on our website, where Guests can browse and purchase stays that match their vacation needs. Once a Guest purchases your reservation, you’ll make a few simple updates to the reservation details with Disney Vacation Club, and the booking will be transferred to the new Guest.
Listing a Confirmed Reservation is a great way to recover value from a reservation you can no longer use while helping another family enjoy a Disney vacation.
Policies and Trust
Is it safe to rent out my DVC Points?
Yes. Renting out your Disney Vacation Club points can be a safe and secure process, especially when working with a trusted intermediary like the DVC Rental Store. Our goal is to protect the interests of both our Members and Guests throughout every stage of the transaction.
To accomplish this, we utilize binding agreements between DVC Rental Store and the Member, as well as rental agreements between the Member and Guest, clearly outlining the responsibilities of all parties involved. Combined with our experienced support team and proven processes, these safeguards help provide a secure, transparent, and stress-free rental experience.
Can I cancel after my points are rented?
Once your points have been rented and a signed rental agreement is in place between you and the Guest through the DVC Rental Store, the reservation cannot be canceled by the Member. At that point, the Guest has made travel plans and is relying on the reservation for their Disney vacation.
For this reason, we encourage Members to be certain they want to rent their points before accepting a booking. It’s also important to keep your Disney Vacation Club Membership in good standing by maintaining current annual dues, loan payments, and account information so that nothing unexpectedly impacts the reservation. By honoring confirmed bookings, we can provide a safe and reliable experience for both Members and Guests.
What happens if a guest cancels?
If a Guest cancels their reservation, the DVC Rental Store works to take the stress and uncertainty out of the process for our Members. Once the Guest has signed their rental agreement and paid their required deposit, your payout is protected. You will still receive your initial 75% payment and the remaining 25% payout on the original check-in date, just as planned.
Depending on the situation, we may contact you to request assistance with canceling the reservation, modifying Guest information, or booking an alternative stay. Because we understand that DVC points have unique expiration dates, banking deadlines, and usage restrictions, our team assumes much of the burden associated with Guest cancellations and works to find solutions that protect both your rental earnings and your points.
Will renting out my points affect my member benefits?
No. Renting out your DVC points does not affect the Member benefits you are eligible to receive. Those benefits remain tied to you as the Disney Vacation Club Member and your individual eligibility.
Guests staying on a rented reservation can enjoy the benefits of staying at a Disney Vacation Club Resort, but they do not receive Member-only perks such as dining discounts, Moonlight Magic events, or other eligible Membership Extras. Those remain reserved for qualifying DVC Members.
