Not that it is for everyone but you can also check out Disboards DVC or Mouseowner Rent/trade/transfer forums. These are forums where DVC owners are renting their points out themselves rather than going through an actual company to rent their points out for them. Often times you can get the reservation you want cheaper than what a DVC rental store will give you because it essentially cuts out the middle man. It also cuts out the security. I rented from someone on Disboards…I got AKL nine months out by renting from an individual when the DVC rental store couldn’t get me a reservation. I made sure to check references and we signed a contract. It’s worth looking into anyway.
