The rental company

The McRent network in France

A rental subsidiary of the German Erwin Hymer Group, itself part of Thor Industries, McRent works with motorhome dealerships in France. Its seven depots form a network oriented towards the north-west: Caen, Rouen and Évreux in Normandy, Nantes, Poitiers, then Paris and Lyon. The addresses are on the outskirts, for example in Lagny-sur-Marne for Paris or in Saint-Priest for Lyon.

The French range consists of eight models, all with manual transmission: Urban campervans, including a pop-up roof version, Compact and Family low-profiles, a Family Plus overcab for five and a Comfort Luxury A-class.

In the offers observed by CoolDrive, mileage is never limited and the excess is €1,800. Accessories such as child seats are generally charged as extras.

Our verdict: a handy network for exploring Normandy, Brittany, the Loire or the Atlantic coast, with quality vehicles and a service our customers appreciate. Worth knowing: few depots in the south of the country, no automatics and a substantial security deposit.

Our view

McRent: who is it for, and who should look elsewhere?

McRent is ideal if…

  • Your trip is aimed at Normandy, Brittany or Mont-Saint-Michel
  • You plan to link several regions without calculating each stage
  • You are leaving from Lyon for the Alps, the Ardèche or Provence
  • You are looking for a pop-up roof campervan for four
  • An overcab for five suits your family

McRent is not ideal if…

  • You want to leave from Marseille, Bordeaux, Toulouse or Nice
  • A manual gearbox is not an option for you
  • You were planning to collect the vehicle straight from an airport
  • Having a large security deposit held is a problem for you
Practical tips

Our tips for booking with McRent

  1. Choose the depot according to your itinerary

    For the Normandy coast and Brittany, Caen or Rouen avoid crossing the Île-de-France. For the Loire châteaux, the Vendée or the Marais Poitevin, look at Nantes and Poitiers. Lyon remains the best starting point for the Alps and the south-east.

  2. Plan your journey to the Paris depot

    The “Paris” departure is from Lagny-sur-Marne, in Seine-et-Marne. Allow for the journey by public transport or taxi from the centre or the airports, and check the appointment time given in your confirmation.

  3. Plan your accessories ahead

    GPS, child seats or booster seats are generally charged for at McRent. By adding them when you book, you know the total cost before leaving and you can be sure they will be available at the depot.

  4. Aim for spring or September

    In our observations, a McRent campervan costs much less in January than in July, with April or October falling in between. May, June and September often combine pleasant weather, open campsites and roads less busy than in high summer.

  5. Keep some leeway on your card

    The security deposit required at departure is high, and the observed excess reaches €1,800. Check your card’s payment limit a few days before departure to avoid being blocked at the counter.

What travellers ask

Your questions about McRent

In which French cities can I pick up a McRent motorhome?

McRent has seven departure cities in France: Caen (depot in Verson), Rouen (Saint-Jean-du-Cardonnay), Évreux, Paris (Lagny-sur-Marne), Nantes (Orvault), Poitiers (Naintré) and Lyon (Saint-Priest). None is located at an airport or in a city centre: the address of your depot is given in the offer details.

Which McRent range should I choose for travelling in France?

For Normandy villages or the narrow roads of Brittany, an Urban campervan goes anywhere. The Compact and Family Standard low-profiles add comfort for two to four people. The Family Plus overcab accommodates five travellers, and the Comfort Luxury A-class is aimed at those who prefer space on long stages.

Do I need to watch the mileage with McRent in France?

No. In CoolDrive’s October 2026 observations, no French McRent offer caps the mileage, whatever the model. A tour leaving Rouen for Mont-Saint-Michel, following the Brittany coast and then heading down to the Loire can therefore be done without calculating distances or paying a surcharge on return.

What is the difference between the Urban Standard, Plus and Luxury campervans?

According to our catalogue, the Urban Standard is a pop-up roof campervan with four seats and four berths. The Urban Plus has four seats but two berths, while the Urban Luxury offers four berths. All three have manual transmission; compare their equipment in the details of each offer before choosing.

How much does a McRent hire cost in France?

Our prices observed in October 2026, calculated over fourteen days with mandatory fees, start at €90 per day for a McRent campervan in January. In July, the median price rises to around €159 for a campervan, €175 for a low-profile and €187 for a large motorhome. Enter your dates to get the final rate.

The two service providers made me pay for the insurance for the car. And when I request a refund for one of them, I no longer get a response. I will travel by motorhome again, but certainly not with CoolDrive, nor with my friends.

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 and campervan hire in France

Why book McRent with CoolDrive?

CoolDrive shows McRent and the other rental companies present in France in a single list, with a rate that already includes mandatory fees. Before confirming, you see the exact town of the depot, the excess and the mileage terms. Our team answers your questions in writing or by phone, before departure as well as during your trip.

What security deposit should I expect with McRent France?

McRent requires a high security deposit at departure, in principle on a credit card. In the French offers observed in October 2026, the excess reaches €1,800 for all models. The exact deposit amount and the conditions for its return are stated in the offer you book.

Can I do a one-way hire between two McRent depots in France?

This is decided case by case. To find out whether Rouen–Lyon or Paris–Nantes is possible for your dates, enter an arrival city different from the departure city: the offers that allow it appear with any surcharge. If in doubt, a loop remains the safest solution.

Can I travel to Spain, Italy or Switzerland with a McRent motorhome?

Trips to neighbouring countries are common from France, but each rental company sets its own list of permitted and excluded destinations. Check it in the offer terms before planning an itinerary to the Spanish Pyrenees, the Italian Riviera or the Swiss passes, and ask our experts if a country is missing.

What extras should I budget for with McRent in France?

The rate shown includes mandatory fees. Accessories such as GPS, child seats or booster seats generally remain chargeable, as do some comfort options. Add them when booking to know the final cost from the start and avoid unpleasant surprises at the depot counter.

Can I change or cancel a McRent booking?

Some McRent bookings can be changed or cancelled, but the rules depend on the rate and the departure date. Read the cancellation terms shown in the offer before paying. If your dates are still uncertain, our experts will tell you about the most flexible options available for your depot.
