I am an owner and did rent once for a solo trip in 05'.

I rented from a seasoned DISer, with many posts to his credit. There was NO contract.

He wanted 50% now and the balance..dont remember how many days before my trip.

When he recieved the ressie..he mailed it to me.

I immediately sent him the balance!! ;)

My feeling was that he should NOT be worried or responsible for this exchange...it is my responsibility. Great experience!! :thumbsup2
 
I'm both an owner & renter so far nothing but smooth sailing
we own at BW & wanted a grand villa at OKW not being able to make resies at 11 month window we rented points from an owner at OKW
Now with all my BW points not being used I rented them out to 4 different people to reimburse myself. The first party just came back from their anniversary trip & loved it
even though I'm a long time disboard member I don't have many posts & thank goodnes none of the renters held that against me
 
We just recently rented for the first time and were extremely happy! The owner that we rented from was very helpful and understanding of our lack of knowledge about DVC. Not only was he able to get us the reservation, but also provided us with information on finding discount park tickets.

I was uneasy with the process in the beginning, considering I was sending a check to a total stranger and trusting that this person was going to do what he said he would do for us. However, once we spoke and he answered all of my questions, the process was as smooth as I could have possibly hoped for. Having a contract helped ease my mind as well as the owners.

Not only will we probably rent again, but we are looking into buying now.
 
I've rented points twice. The first time was for a Dec 04 trip, and I booked 11 months out from a family who was adopting a baby from China, so weren't taking their annual trip. This was a great experience. I had booked 2 BWV studios, but knew that it was possible my in-laws would have to cancel due to health issues. I told the owner up front, and they were clear about when I'd have to cancel to avoid issues. Since the WDW was with a cruise, I knew we'd have the answer more than 60 days out. When we did cancel the inlaws room, we decided to just keep our room for the weekend night so we didn't have to move. The owner booked the extra night, and didn't charge us for the extra 3 points, which I was fully prepared to pay for.

Our 2nd experience, I rented for Dec of 06, before I bought in September. Although I haven't taken the trip, the experience has been fine so far. The owner of that one actually posted on the owners poll, and didn't say anything bad about me, so I guess he thinks it's okay too!

Renting gave me the option of trying out the experience before I committed, so it was a great option for me.
 

I rented once from a stranger just for a short stay, so I paid 100% with a check up front and received my reservation in the mail. It worked great, and I'll probably do it again. I did end up with a handicapped accessible room and the shower leaked all over the bathroom, but that wasn't the renter's fault.
