Timeshare Advice Center's Guide to Timeshare Relinquishment

Frequently Answered Questions

Timeshare Advice Center helps unravel the information. In all likelihood, you will have received a lot of different, conflicting answers about your timeshare already

When considering how to cancel your timeshare contract, you may be tempted to contact your timeshare resort. As a company who stands much to lose in terms of future management fee revenues by cancelling your timeshare contract, you may find them to be unhelpful or even try to counteract your cancellation by upgrading you to another product. In this case, we would advise you to exercise caution if considering contacting your resort to cancel your timeshare contract.

At Timeshare Advice Center, we're different. We're an entirely independent organization offering expert advice and services. We are neither funded by, nor "partners with", the timeshare groups/resorts, the timeshare industry lobby, timeshare resellers or any other self-interested parties.

To find out more, please Contact us, or check these FAQs below:

1 - Why can't I sell my timeshare?

When they were first sold their timeshares, many owners were promised that their timeshare "investment" would hold its value - or even increase in value - and that it could be sold at a later date. The reality is that your timeshare contract actually has very little resale value - as evidenced by the fact that there are hundreds of timeshares for sale on websites like eBay for next to nothing, but they never sell. You can see an example here.

This is also why the "timeshare resale" companies try to charge up-front if you use them to try and sell your timeshare. They know that no-one will buy - and that they make all their income from listing fees. So please find out your Timeshare Relinquishment Options today.

2 - What is my timeshare worth?

The real question should be 'What is my timeshare contract worth to my timeshare company?'

As per the previous Q/A, timeshare sadly has litte resale value. However your timeshare contract certainly DOES have a significant value to your timeshare company, as it is (a) likely to have a very long term still to run and (b) includes a legal requirement for you to pay ever-increasing management fees at a rate of set by the timeshare company, throughout the remainder of the contract term.
