The rental pool, which is relevant for the Rental Ownership and Investment Ownership user models, offers several advantages:
It enables EuroParcs to transfer bookings to other properties in the pool. This results in fewer days remaining vacant, higher occupancy rates, and increased income for owners.
A cancellation of a booking or an unexpected reason why a property is temporarily unavailable for rent, such as maintenance, is absorbed by the pool, reducing the risk for owners.
Everyone knows where they stand, because each participant receives a share of the pool based on the characteristics of their property, such as location, type, view, facilities, etc. The rental pool also offers more predictability than individual rental contracts, because fluctuations at pool level are smaller than for individual properties.
The Rental Ownership user model also offers more flexibility with regard to personal use. By planning in this manner, an owner can sometimes enjoy their property at the last minute without reducing their income.
Every owner of a holiday home at EuroParcs will receive their personal offer in the ‘my environment’ section of Booking Experts, under ‘my details’, on 8 September 2025.
In the coming period, we will provide you with detailed information about the new basic agreement, user models and methodologies, so that you can make an informed decision from 8 September 2025 onwards. If you have an agreement with a fixed return that expires before 1 April 2026, you will switch to the new basic agreement and a user model after your current agreement expires. If you currently have an owner-occupancy contract or a rental contract (BEX), you can choose whether to switch to a new user model or to remain with your current agreement using a transitional arrangement. You are not obliged to switch to a new user model.
The feedback gathered from these conversations and from the BVE platform, representing 29 of the 35 Owners’ Interest Groups (BVEs), has been used to make the user models clearer and more balanced. This has resulted in the current version of the basic agreement, user models and methodologies PSB, PNZW and the rental pool.
The transition to modern, uniform contracts is an important part of our future plans as set out in Horizon 2028. The wide variety of ownership contracts and exceptions makes managing so many different contracts virtually impossible and, moreover, very labour-intensive and therefore expensive.
That is why we have worked on a single uniform basic agreement and six new user models, which offer you simplicity, clarity and transparency. This new basic contract has been developed in careful consultation with a delegation of owners, incorporating a great deal of valuable feedback. The aim of this change is to maximise your security as an owner with a good balance between the rights and obligations of both parties. The new contracts do not change your ownership rights, only the use of your property as you see fit.
Under these user models where GWE costs apply, the owner pays based on actual consumption—similar to the current arrangement.
You can find your Personal Offer in the ‘My Environment‘ section of Booking Experts.
The costs of daily maintenance, salaries and materials have risen in recent years due to external factors. As a result, the rates currently charged for park service contributions and other services do not accurately reflect the actual costs. We bear these costs together, but we want to prevent you from having to pay much more at once. With the bridging arrangement, we are gradually increasing the PSB, with you paying the full rate in 2028. This only applies if you purchased your home before 1 July 2025. This increase, and the bridging arrangement, is included in your personal offer.
