Question 1

How does home exchange work?

Accepted Answer

With HomeExchange, you can either exchange your home reciprocally with another member's home or use your GuestPoints to make a non-reciprocal exchange. GuestPoints are points you earn by hosting other members in your home in non-reciprocal exchanges. All exchanges are covered for damage, theft and cancellation.

Question 2

What are the benefits of home exchange?

Accepted Answer

It's a responsible and economical way to travel with peace of mind within a trusted community. HomeExchange is the world's leading home exchange site with over 150,000 members in 145 countries.

Question 3

How much does it cost to exchange my home with HomeExchange?

Accepted Answer

Thanks to our annual HomeExchange membership, for 235 USD / year, you can organize as many exchanges as you want during 12 months, without any additional costs.

Question 4

How do the HomeExchange guarantees work ?

Accepted Answer

HomeExchange guarantees include relocation in case of cancellation by the host as well as insurance in case of breakage or theft.

Question 5

Can I exchange my accommodation if I live in a rental property ?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can do a home exchange unless specifically stated in your lease. It is not necessary to notify the home owner because it is not a sublet: in fact, there is no financial exchange.

Question 6

What if the health crisis does not allow me to travel?

Accepted Answer

In case of cancellation due to Covid 19, the GuestPoints that would be used during the exchange are fully refunded. HomeExchange also offers the 2nd year of membership free to members who were unable to exchange due to the health situation.

Question 7

Do I have to exchange my home with a similar home?

Accepted Answer

No, you can exchange with any type of home, no matter what type of home you have: a small studio in the city for a seaside villa, a farmhouse in the country for a condo. Everything is possible because everyone will find something to suit their desires!
