McRent Zagreb c/o Bauer Grupa d.o.o.Kovinska 20, 10000 Zagreb
The rental company
McRent in Croatia, a departure from the capital
In Croatia, the Erwin Hymer group’s rental company relies on a single address: the Zagreb depot, on Kovinska street, in the west of the capital. It is hosted by a local company, Bauer Grupa. No McRent depot is listed on the coast or at a Croatian airport.
Starting from Zagreb lends itself well to a complete tour: Istria and the Kvarner to the west, the Plitvice Lakes on the way south, then Dalmatia, from Zadar to Split and all the way to Dubrovnik. The A1 motorway links the capital to the sea, and ferries carry motorhomes to the islands. The rental company advertises vans, campervans and motorhomes with two to six berths; the available models appear in each offer.
CoolDrive observed no McRent offer in Croatia in October 2026: mileage, excess and security deposit are therefore read in the offer’s terms, at the time of the search.
Our view: a solid brand, linked to a major European manufacturer, and a local team that offers itinerary advice. Its limits here: a single departure point, far from the coast, little availability in high summer and options (insurance, cleaning, equipment) that can push up the bill. Compare offers with fees included before choosing.

Our view
McRent: who is it for, and who should look elsewhere?
McRent is ideal if…
- You are arriving in Zagreb and want to start the trip in the capital
- You are planning a big loop: Istria, Plitvice, Dalmatia then back to Zagreb
- You insist on a rental company backed by a major European manufacturer
- You are travelling as a family and looking for up to six berths
McRent is not ideal if…
- You want to collect the vehicle directly on the coast, in Split or Dubrovnik
- You want a one-way hire between Zagreb and the south of the country
- You are booking at the last minute for July or August
- You plan to sleep outside campsites: it is prohibited in Croatia
- A 4x4 van appeals to you: Petroni offers one in our observations
Practical tips
Our tips for booking with McRent
-
Book early for summer
July and August concentrate demand on the Croatian coast, and McRent lists only one depot in the country. For a high-season departure, book several months ahead or aim for June and September, quieter on the coastal roads and at campsites.
-
Plan the drive down to the sea
From Zagreb, the A1 motorway passes Karlovac then heads to Zadar and Split. Croatian motorways are tolled: keep a bank card to hand. For Plitvice, leave the motorway at Karlovac and take the national road, slower but direct.
-
Sleep on authorised sites
In Croatia, camping outside designated sites is prohibited. In high season, book your pitches in advance, especially in Istria and on the islands, where motorhome spaces go quickly.
-
Read the list of permitted countries
The Pelješac Bridge lets you reach Dubrovnik without crossing Bosnia and Herzegovina at Neum. To go as far as Mostar, Montenegro or Slovenia, first check in the offer’s terms that these countries are permitted by the rental company.
-
Inspect the vehicle in Zagreb
Before leaving the depot, walk around the bodywork, check the on-board inventory, test the gas, water and heating, and note the assistance number. Have every defect recorded on the handover report: the return is at the same place.
-
Work out the total, options included
Additional insurance, linen, camping gear or final cleaning can be added to the base price. Compare offers with mandatory fees included in the CoolDrive search and add the useful options when booking.
What travellers ask
Your questions about McRent
Where do you collect a McRent motorhome in Croatia?
The only McRent depot listed in Croatia is in Zagreb, at 20 Kovinska street, in the west of the city, at the premises of the company Bauer Grupa. There is no counter at the airport or on the coast. If you are arriving by plane, plan a taxi to the depot and check the handover times in your offer.
How much does a McRent hire cost in Croatia?
CoolDrive did not observe any McRent price in Croatia in October 2026. The price depends on the season, the model and the length of the trip. Run a search with your dates departing from Zagreb: the available offers are displayed with mandatory fees included, alongside those of the country’s other rental companies.
Are kilometres counted with McRent in Croatia?
We have no McRent observation in Croatia to say: the kilometre allowance appears in each offer. For a round trip from Zagreb to Dubrovnik, look at it closely. As a benchmark, Anywhere Campers offers unlimited mileage in all its offers observed in the country, whereas Petroni applies limited mileage.
Which itinerary from the McRent depot in Zagreb?
A classic loop heads to Istria via Rijeka, follows the Kvarner, reaches the Plitvice Lakes then goes down to Zadar, Krka National Park and Split. With more time, push on to Dubrovnik via the Pelješac Bridge. Allow two to three weeks to return to Zagreb without rushing.
Can you go to Montenegro or Bosnia and Herzegovina with a Croatian McRent?
It depends on the list of countries permitted by the rental company, which appears in the offer’s terms. The McRent network generally excludes certain countries outside the European Union. Check it before planning Mostar, Kotor or Sarajevo, and ask our experts if any doubt remains about insurance outside Croatia.

a lot of information, it's precise, but maybe too many different emails. I've received too many different ones that I am getting lost.

First rental of this type of vehicle in a professional context where the rental must take place from France to Canada. Many questions and Cooldrive (Marlène) has been a valuable support in guiding my choices. Efficiency and responsiveness beforehand, and on-site a vehicle and service that met our expectations. No complaints. Great!

Frequently asked questions
FAQ — McRent motorhome hire in Croatia
Why book McRent with CoolDrive?
A single CoolDrive search displays McRent’s Zagreb offers alongside those of other Croatian rental companies, with a final price that includes mandatory fees. You see straight away what is included, you add useful options when booking, and our experts answer your questions about the terms, both before and after payment.
What excess applies with McRent in Croatia?
No amount was observed for McRent in Croatia in October 2026. The excess and security deposit are stated in the details of each offer. Bring a credit card with a sufficient limit for the security deposit, and ask our experts about the cover options that reduce the amount left for you to pay.
Which licence do you need to drive a McRent motorhome?
A category B licence is enough for vehicles whose gross weight does not exceed 3.5 tonnes, which generally covers vans and most motorhomes. Above that, a C1 licence is required. Gross weight, required age and years of licence holding are specified in the offer: check them before confirming.
Can you return the motorhome in Split or Dubrovnik?
McRent lists no depot on the Croatian coast: a return in Split or Dubrovnik is therefore only possible if an offer provides for it. Enter the return city you want in the search to see what exists. Otherwise, build a loop itinerary that brings the vehicle back to Zagreb.
When to go to Croatia by motorhome?
May, June and September offer a good compromise: the sea is already warm, campsites are less full and coastal roads flow better. July and August are the busiest months, with full ferries and higher prices. In spring, the Plitvice Lakes are at their most beautiful, with well-fed waterfalls.
Can you take the McRent motorhome to the Croatian islands?
Coastal ferries, including Jadrolinija’s, carry motorhomes to Krk, Cres, Hvar or Brač. Book the crossing in summer, as spaces for large vehicles are limited. Also check in the offer’s terms how the insurance covers the vehicle during the boat trip.
