Dial an Exchange

DAE - Dial An Exchange

Dial An Exchange is an independent exchange company much smaller than RCI or II. By offering personal service and excellent value for money, Dial An Exchange has become a leader in the holiday home exchange business and their quality of service is good.

Dial An Exchange started in Australia in 1995. The operation was extended to Europe in 1999, when a business was opened in the UK. The Australia/New Zealand business is owned and managed by Francis Taylor and Marc Chouniard. The European business is owned and managed by Philip A. Green. Customers are treated as individuals and offered a friendly, helpful, personal service.

They are able to obtain holiday weeks for exchange in many other countries such as USA, Canada, Mexico, Caribbean, and South Africa through their well established network of trading partners.

Dial An Exchange IS NOT part of the timeshare business. Dial An Exchange exists for the benefit of existing Timeshare owners so that they can benefit from the most flexible use of their ownership.

It is FREE to join for the standard membership and £30 for the annual Gold membership. Exchanges are £72 UK. £74 Europe and £89 Long Haul.
