RCI Resorts You Can Own for Free
Many of our Florida listings are RCI affiliates, including Vacation Village at Parkway, Silver Lake Resort and Vacation Village at Weston. Compare networks in our timeshare exchange guide and our guide to how Interval International works.
Start With a Free Timeshare
Why is it free? Owners who no longer use their timeshare pass it on to someone who will. You take over for $0, with no closing costs or transfer fees, and a title and transfer company handles the paperwork in about 60 to 90 days. Depending on timing, some listings include a free week for the new owner, with the maintenance fee already paid.
