Marriott Vacation Club has announced a new parking policy change for 2025, introducing new fees at many of its resorts. With this policy, which took effect on January 1st, 2025, those staying at Marriott-managed resorts may wonder how this update will affect their travel budgets. Below, we’ll provide a breakdown of the new parking fees, who they apply to, and the rationale behind the policy.
What Are the New Parking Fees?
Starting in 2025 and beyond, a $25-per-night parking fee will be implemented at most Marriott Vacation Club properties. However, these fees won’t apply to every guest. Here’s how the policy is structured in terms of its reach:
- Rental Guests Using Marriott.com and Third-Party Travel Agents: The parking fee will be charged to guests who book their stays through Marriott.com, other online travel agents, or Bonvoy points.
- Timeshare Owners: Owners who reserve their units using deeded weeks or Abound Club Points will not be charged parking fees, which has always been one of the benefits of ownership.
- Interval International Exchanges: Guests staying at Marriott Vacation Club resorts using Interval International exchanges are exempt from paying the new parking fees.
- Guest Reservations Through Owners: Guests added to an owner’s existing reservation using deeded weeks or points will also not have to pay the parking charges. This is expected to apply to rentals where the owner made the booking using their points or deeded week.
