The rental company

CrossRent, campervan and 4x4 hire

CrossRent is an Erwin Hymer group rental brand dedicated to compact vehicles: converted vans, pop-top vans, small low-profile models and 4x4s. In Germany, its depots are most often located at partner car dealerships, in medium-sized towns such as Rheine, Oldenburg or Rosenheim as well as near the major cities: Munich, Hamburg, Dresden, Nuremberg or Leipzig.

The fleet is organised into lines: Explorer and Adventurer for the vans, Voyager for the low-profile models, Overlander for the 4x4 with a roof tent. Each line comes in several equipment levels (Series, Advanced, Ultimate, Extreme). Almost all models have an automatic gearbox, and the pop-top vans offer four berths.

In the offers recorded by CoolDrive in October 2026, mileage is limited and the excess is €2,000, whatever the model. At departure, the depot presents the vehicle and gives advice on how to use it.

Our verdict: a good choice for travelling light, as two or four, with a manoeuvrable vehicle that parks anywhere, and one of the few 4x4 offers in the country. On the other hand, limited mileage weighs on long itineraries, and large families or fans of big motorhomes will look elsewhere.

Our view

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

CrossRent is ideal if…

  • You want a manoeuvrable van, easy to park in town as well as on mountain roads
  • You prefer to drive an automatic
  • You want a 4x4 vehicle for dirt tracks or the backcountry
  • You are travelling as four and a pop-top roof is enough for sleeping
  • You are flying into Munich and want to head for the Alps
  • You are setting off on a short loop or a long weekend

CrossRent is not ideal if…

  • You are planning thousands of kilometres: mileage is limited
  • There are more than four of you sleeping on board
  • You want an overcab or an A-class with a large bathroom
  • You do not like climbing up into a bed under the roof
Practical tips

Our tips for booking with CrossRent

  1. Count your kilometres before booking

    The CrossRent offers recorded include a mileage allowance, and every kilometre beyond it is charged. Estimate the distance of your itinerary, add a margin for detours, then compare with the allowance stated in the offer. For a very long tour, a rental company with unlimited mileage may work out cheaper.

  2. Choose between two and four berths

    The pop-top vans of the Explorer and Adventurer lines (Advanced, Extreme) sleep four people, two below and two under the roof. The other models, including the Voyager low-profile models and the Overlander 4x4, have two berths. Check this point before anything else.

  3. Note the exact address of the depot

    Several depots bear the name of a large city but are located outside it: the Hamburg depot is in Elmshorn, the Leipzig one in Naumburg, the Munich airport one in Moosinning-Eichenried. The address is shown in the details of the offer: plan your journey to the depot.

  4. Keep some headroom on your credit card

    The observed excess at CrossRent is €2,000 for all models. The security deposit is generally taken on a credit card in the main driver’s name: check its limit before departure and read the terms specified in the offer.

  5. Allow time for the return

    The vehicle must be returned clean, and the terms of the offer detail what is expected: interior, emptying the grey water, toilet. Set aside an hour before the return to put everything back in order and avoid cleaning charges.

What travellers ask

Your questions about CrossRent

How much does a CrossRent hire cost in Germany?

Based on the prices recorded by CoolDrive in October 2026 for 14-day hires, mandatory fees included, a CrossRent van starts at €81 per day in January, for a median price of €101. In July, the median rises to €162 for a van and €194 for a Voyager low-profile. The 4x4s are slightly more expensive than the standard vans. The exact price depends on your dates: run a search to get it.

Is mileage unlimited with CrossRent?

No: all the CrossRent offers recorded by CoolDrive in Germany come with limited mileage. The included allowance and the price of each extra kilometre are specified in the offer. For a loop in Bavaria or the Black Forest, the allowance is often enough; to cross Europe, work out the cost of the extra kilometres or compare with a rental company offering unlimited mileage.

Which CrossRent van should you choose?

For four, take a pop-top van from the Explorer or Adventurer lines in the Advanced or Extreme version. For two, the Adventurer Series remains compact and easy to drive. For more interior space, the Voyager low-profile models add comfort. Finally, the 4x4 versions and the Overlander with its roof tent are aimed at tracks and remote regions.

Does CrossRent offer 4x4 vehicles?

Yes, it is one of its specialities. Our records include three four-wheel-drive models: the Explorer Ultimate 4x4 with a pop-top roof, the Adventurer Ultimate 4x4 and the Overlander Ultimate 4x4, which sleeps under a roof tent. They suit forest tracks, snowy roads or dirt tracks, within the limits set by the rental company’s terms.

Where can you pick up a CrossRent van in Germany?

CrossRent has more than 20 depots across the country. In the south: Munich and its airport, Nuremberg, Rosenheim, Herrenberg or Pforzheim. In the west: Grevenbroich, Mettmann, Mülheim or Rheinbach. In the north: Hamburg, Oldenburg and Bremervörde. In the east: Dresden, Leipzig and Zossen, south of Berlin. The full list is shown further down this page.

Frequently asked questions

FAQ — CrossRent campervan hire in Germany

Why book CrossRent with CoolDrive?

A single CoolDrive search displays CrossRent vans alongside the offers of other German rental companies, with the total price including mandatory fees. You can see the mileage allowance, the excess and the options at a glance, which makes comparison easier. Our experts answer your questions before and after booking.

What is the excess with CrossRent?

In all the CrossRent offers recorded in Germany in October 2026, the excess is €2,000, from the smallest van to the 4x4. This is the maximum amount you pay in the event of damage. The security deposit and any excess reduction options are specified in each offer: read them before confirming.

Can you leave Germany with a CrossRent van?

Trips to neighbouring countries are generally possible, and several depots are close to the borders: Lauchringen and Müllheim near Switzerland and France, Rosenheim near Austria. The permitted and excluded countries are listed in the terms of the offer. Check them before planning your itinerary, especially outside the European Union.

How many people can sleep in a CrossRent van?

It depends on the model. The pop-top vans have four berths: one bed in the living area and a second under the roof. Vans without a pop-top roof, the Voyager low-profile models and the Overlander 4x4 offer two berths. The number of seats also varies, up to five in the Overlander: check both figures on the vehicle sheet.

How does pick-up work at CrossRent?

At the depot, a staff member presents the vehicle to you: pop-top roof, heating, gas, water and storage. Allow a little time, as waiting can be longer at busy times. The depot address and the pick-up and return times are shown in your booking confirmation. Bring your licence and the main driver’s credit card.

What is the difference between CrossRent and McRent?

Both brands belong to the Erwin Hymer group and sometimes share the same premises, in Leipzig or Mülheim for example. CrossRent focuses on compact vans and 4x4s, with limited mileage in our records. McRent also offers overcab and A-class motorhomes, with unlimited mileage. The search engine displays both brands side by side for your dates.
