Go to a website such as Red Week or Timeshare Gateway and browse timeshares online. You may view rates and other specifics of the timeshare such as how many bedrooms are available and what area of Cancun the timeshare is located in. Many timeshare owners will post their timeshares on websites like these to generate a continual flow of prospective renters. You will be able to communicate with the renter directly and ask any important questions that you may have. Be sure to avoid scams by checking reviews of the owner which are located on the website. Renting directly from an owner can save money in some cases. If you feel more comfortable renting a timeshare from a resort or agency, websites such as Royal Club Vacations offer timeshare rentals directly through the resort.
Express your interest in renting the timeshare when you find one that suits you. An application or paperwork stating how many occupants will be staying at the property and their ages may be required. In addition to this, once accepted, a deposit to hold the timeshare may be required. Many timeshare owners will accept a payment online via credit card or PayPal. It is important to make sure that the owner is a reputable timeshare owner before making this type of monetary transaction to avoid scams.
Arrive in Cancun and check-in. Payment may be expected in full upon arrival if you are renting through a private owner. If you are renting through a resort, payment upon check-out may be expected. Obtain the keys from the individual owner or resort. Enjoy your vacation in Cancun!
