Home swap and vehicle swap contracts

Together with exchanging homes you may swap cars brilliant idea for low-cost touring or day trips. Please check with your insurance agent before you agree to swap vehicles. 

From our own car swapping experiences we recommend that before you exchange cars that you have a written agreement regarding maintenance, restrictions on mileage and care of the car. The single most concern expressed by members who have completed car exchanges is the inequality of maintenance on the vehicles exchanged.

Do not let anyone bully you into exchanging cars.  This is a personal choice and many choose not to include cars as part of a home exchange.   

We had a member ask if it was a requirement to exchange cars as part of their exchange. Apparently they had been corresponding with possible exchangers from the UK. In their correspondence it was stated that it was an expectation that a car exchange was done. Further, if the couple was unwilling to exchange cars, they wouldn't get an exchange with anyone from the UK.  This is untruthful and sounds like a bullying tactic. Plain and simple - if you don't feel comfortable swapping cars - then don't. 

For those that chose to exchange cars - you are welcome to use or modify the following vehicle exchange form.  Please note - it is not a legally binding form.
