Best check-in day - renting

[tamu_bu]

If setting a reservation for renting, is there a consensus on which check-in day might rent better? Thoughts?

IMO it depends on the resort/location...

With Hawaii, where you lose time flying home, I think Sunday is probably worst since many would take a redeye back and arrive Monday morning thus maybe having to take another vacation day. But I don't have experience with renting there.

I know some people like to book Wednesday checkins for Hawaii because it can save on airfare and there is probably also less competition in the rental market. Obviously with Vistana that's a Staroptions reservation at 8 months.

Otherwise, I usually try to avoid Fridays since, in most cases, a Friday-Friday vacation involves 6 vacation days while a Sunday or Saturday weeklong vacation is just 5 vacation days (ignoring holidays and such).

Usually Saturday to Saturday.

I'd concur that Sat-Sat is generally better although this year for Maui we had a pre-arranged renter who wanted Fri-Fri.

Or a Westin Flex or Nanea HomeOption reservation, which can be 12 Months out.
