McRent in Finland, from the southern lakes to Lapland
In Finland, the Erwin Hymer Group rental company, owned by the American firm Thor Industries, relies on a single local company, McRent Helsinki Oy, for its two depots. The so-called Helsinki depot is located in Hyvinkää, about fifty kilometres north of the capital. The other is in a business park in Rovaniemi, the capital of Lapland, just south of the Arctic Circle.
Eight models appear in our observations, all with manual transmission: the Urban Plus and Luxury campervans, the Compact and Comfort low-profiles, and three Family models, including two five-berth overcabs.
Of the 64 McRent offers observed in Finland in October 2026, all leave the mileage free and all show an excess of €1,200. A reassuring consistency when you plan to link the Lakeland to Lapland.
Our verdict: a clear offer, with identical terms from one model to the next and a genuine departure point in Lapland. On the other hand, no automatic transmission is listed, the network is limited to two cities and summer costs much more than spring or autumn.

Our tips for booking with McRent
-
Rovaniemi for the Far North, Hyvinkää for the lakes
The two depots are nearly 800 km apart. From Rovaniemi, Inari, Saariselkä and the road to the North Cape are a few hours away. From Hyvinkää, the Lakeland, Tampere, Turku or the south-western archipelago are close by. Starting from the right side frees up days of holiday.
-
Confirm the pick-up time
Reread the time shown on your confirmation and call the depot the day before if your arrival changes. Allow some leeway on departure day: the vehicle handover and security deposit formalities take time, and it is better not to follow them with a long stage.
-
Bring a genuine credit card
The security deposit is generally taken on a credit card in the main driver’s name; a debit card may be refused. Check what type of card you have and its limit before leaving, and make sure all drivers are listed on the contract.
-
Match the season to what you want
In June and July, the midnight sun lights up Lapland but mosquitoes are plentiful. September offers the colours of the ruska and gentler observed prices. In winter, roads are snowy and winter tyres are compulsory: find out about the vehicle’s equipment.
-
Watch out for reindeer
In Lapland, reindeer often cross the road without warning, and elk are found throughout the country. Slow down in signposted areas and always keep your lights on, which is compulsory during the day in Finland. Also note the assistance number before leaving the depot.
Your questions about McRent
Where can I pick up a McRent motorhome in Finland?
Two addresses are listed. For Helsinki, the depot is in Hyvinkää, 11 Avainkierto, about fifty kilometres north of the capital. In Lapland, it is in Rovaniemi, 42 Teollisuustie. Neither is at an airport: arrange your transfer from the station or the airport terminal.
What is the excess on a McRent motorhome in Finland?
It is €1,200 in all the Finnish McRent offers observed in October 2026, whatever the model. The security deposit is required at departure and its amount is stated in the offer. Our experts can tell you whether an excess reduction option is available for your dates.
Which motorhomes does McRent hire out in Finland?
Eight models have been observed. For a couple, the Urban Plus or Luxury campervans are easy to handle, and the Compact Plus or Comfort Standard add space. The Comfort Plus and Family Standard offer four berths; the Family Plus and Luxury, two overcabs, offer five. The gearbox is manual throughout.
Can I travel to Estonia or the North Cape with a Finnish McRent motorhome?
The Helsinki-Tallinn ferry and the road to the North Cape through Lapland tempt many travellers. Any trip outside the country, however, depends on the destinations McRent permits, listed in the offer terms. Check this point before booking and ask our experts if your itinerary crosses a border or includes a ferry.
How much does a McRent hire cost in Finland?
For a 14-day hire, mandatory fees included, our prices observed in October 2026 start at €104 per day for a campervan, in spring as well as autumn. In October, medians are around €109 (campervan), €121 (low-profile) and €130 (large model); in July, €219, €241 and €263. Your dates give the exact rate.
They rented with McRent
a difference between the pick-up and return times! A problem with my credit card, which was only a debit card and therefore I couldn't pay the deposit. I was not aware of this restriction. I was able to pay the rental of €1500 but not the deposit of €500! Scheduled departure at 2:30 PM, actual departure at 6:30 PM! It was impossible for the other people present to pay the deposit with an appropriate card, as they were not listed on the rental agreement!
Difficult to get information before booking by phone or email, almost impossible. However, good responsiveness by email once the booking is made. Lack of fluidity on the site with issues downloading the various documents requested on the site but quickly resolved by Cool Drive.

FAQ — McRent motorhome hire in Finland
Why book McRent with CoolDrive?
CoolDrive puts McRent and Anywhere Campers side by side for your dates in Finland, with rates that include mandatory fees. Excess, mileage and departure depot are shown before payment. A question about Rovaniemi, the security deposit or the choice of model? Our team of experts will answer you before departure.
Can I pay the McRent security deposit with a debit card?
It is best not to count on it: the security deposit is generally held on a credit card in the main driver’s name, and a debit card may well be refused at the counter. Check your card type, its limit and its expiry date before the trip, and contact us if in doubt.
Can I hire a McRent motorhome in Lapland to see the northern lights?
Offers have been observed for January, and Rovaniemi is well placed for hunting the northern lights, generally visible from late August to April on clear nights. The Lapland winter does, however, mean snowy roads, intense cold and short days: check the winter equipment, the heating and whether campsites are open.
How do I get to the McRent depot in Hyvinkää?
Hyvinkää is served by regional trains from Helsinki Central Station. The depot is in a business district, with the last stretch by taxi from the station. Time your arrival to match the pick-up time given in your confirmation, and let the depot know if your train or flight is delayed.
Where can I spend the night in a motorhome in Finland?
Finland’s right of public access to nature, jokamiehenoikeus, mainly covers walking and tent camping: it does not allow you to park a vehicle just anywhere. Campsites, called leirintäalue, are plentiful by the lakes, but many close out of season. Respect signs and private land.
What should I check when collecting the motorhome?
Walk around the bodywork with the agent and photograph every defect. Check the crockery, the gas level, the heating and that the toilet works. Ask where to empty the grey water and save the assistance number: you will save time if a problem arises far from Hyvinkää or Rovaniemi.
