Home Exchanging is Planet Friendly!

In addition to creating a more authentic travel experience, home exchange also takes pressure off the environment by reducing the need for new hotel and resort construction in heavily frequented international destinations.

Home exchange and Local services

Home exchangers help local merchants by shopping in local markets and using local services. The increasing interest in home exchange is a natural outgrowth of the movement for responsible travel.

Home exchanging - the true sharing economy

Sharing economy is a very popular concept nowadays. It highlights the preference of individuals to borrow goods rather than buy and own them. We have been doing that in Intervac since 1953 making Intervac one of the pioneers in the modern sharing economy. Rather than buying or rent a holiday home… why not borrow one?

Globe-trotters dream

Your membership fee covers unlimited vacation exchanges during a specific period of time (usually a year or more) and most of our members exchange their home several times a year. We offer two different membership plans to match your needs.

Humans at the heart of our organisation

At Intervac International, we believe that home exchange should not be a transaction but an opportunity to create personal connections and that is why we have a "no points-policy". Our members are part of an exchange family. We stay committed to creating a safe space where dream adventures come true.

Our exchange community is made up of real members from around the world, who are authentic home exchangers themselves. Every single one of them are eager to help you fulfill your traveling dreams, in a flexible, cost-effective and sustainable manner.
