When  things go wrong  with a home exchange and a swap falls apart.

 

It is wise to always have back up arrangements available—just in case 

Sometimes such circumstances cannot be avoided and exchanges need to be cancelled. However, cancellations are only acceptable in cases of real crisis. Not because you found a better exchange.   If you must cancel, please inform your exchange partners immediately and try to find your guests alternative accommodation with family or friends. If this is impossible, we will do our best to help you through our network of partner clubs and by  publishing availability under our feature listings under last minute exchanges.

98% + home exchanges go without any major problems.  But what happens if your exchange partner cancels at the last minute or needs to return before the exchange is completed?

Accidents and medical emergencies happen.   We have talked with an older couple that had a lifetime dream of visiting Australia realized and made more affordable with a home exchange.  They planned to be away for five weeks with the first week spent relaxing on a south seas island stopover.  One night they went for a walk in a poorly lit area and unknown to them construction was being completed on the sidewalk with no barriers.  Our couple fell down a huge construction hole and ended up in the hospital with many injuries including broken ribs and a punctured lung.

Their vacation was ruined and they had to fly back home to Europe immediately.  As their home was too small to accommodate both them and their exchange partners, the couple from Australia was faced with either going home or finding other accommodations.

Have an emergency plan in place and talk about this with your exchange partners before you go on exchange.
