Anyone rent DVC points? I was thinking of renting from David’s but I’m nervous about it. Any pros & cons or good & bad experiences that you’d like to share with me?
The DVC Rental website has insurance information in their FAQs.Thanks everyone! I had read somewhere else that they were renting points but the owner was in default so they couldn’t go on vacation at the last minute or something.. but I suppose going through a 3rd party like David’s would take away that fear.... how did you go about getting trip insurance? It is through Disney or somewhere else? I want to go in September & I’d rather not have another Dorian come through & ruin my vacation.

More questions! If I were to book a room at Poly, and friends were going with us but chose to book at Kidani Village. Would I be able to link our reservations so that we could have meals together? If we were both renting DVC points? I’m assuming it would be done the same if we were both booking through Disney but I’m unsure.

If you all make Disney experience accounts and are "friends & family" on the accounts then when you make DINING reservations you just choose them from the list. You RESORT reservation does not have to be linked in any way at all. Now, if you are at the same resort then you can let them know and you may "request" to be near each other if you booked the SAME category.
So, your first step would be to have all the people set up a "my disney experience" account and and become "friend & family" but if you do not do this, just make a reservation for ever how many are in your dining party.
have fun
David’s has no control over your reservation. The owner does. If the owner accidentally cancels your reservation and cannot re-book it, you will get your money back. If an owner flakes out and neglects to pay his dues over an extended period of time, DVC will cancel all of his pending reservations...including any rentals. Even so, you would get your money back.Thanks everyone!

There’s no difference. You link thru MDE Friends and Family and make your joint plans. You’re still a Disney guest when you stay in a DVC resort on points.More questions!

I'm an owner and leerly about renting out my points because, as the owner, I am responsible if there is damage or an unpaid cc bill. It all depends on how much risk one is comfortable with
