Frequently Asked Questions On Timeshare Specials



From a local point of view, buying South African Timeshare opens the door to overseas travel through RCI and other exchange organizations. This can be achieved relatively cheaply due to costs being paid locally and not impacted on by the exchange rate. From an overseas perspective timesharing can be purchased in South Africa by benefiting from a weak Rand in both the timeshare purchase price and levy contributions. In a nutshell an overseas buyer can purchase timeshare in South Africa without ever occupying, enjoying holidays on a continuous basis exchanging timeshare outside South Africa.



  • Faqs and Answers when Buying Timeshare


  • What are the various types of holiday ownership?
    • Fixed week timeshare ownership
    • Fractional ownership
    • Timeshare Points

  • What is the difference between the various forms of ownership?
    • Fixed week timeshare ownership is whereby you buy a particular week of the year at a resort that is of interest to you. You will have sole ownership of that week and will be able to use it at that resort every year.
    • Fractional ownership is pretty much the same however you would own more than one week ( In most cases it is 4 weeks that rotate every year ) at that particular development.
    • Timeshare Points, here you buy points / shares in various timeshare clubs. Based on the amount of points you own, you can book various weeks at any resorts on their stock portfolio both locally and abroad. In essence here you do not own any unit or week but rather shares / points which can be used to book timeshares
