DRM, a large fleet spread across five major cities
DRM, short for Deutsche Reisemobil Vermietungs GmbH, is a German motorhome rental company. Its six depots listed on CoolDrive are on the outskirts of five major cities: Kelsterbach and Rüsselsheim for Frankfurt, Markt Schwaben for Munich, Henstedt-Ulzburg for Hamburg, Hilden for Düsseldorf and Vogelsdorf, at partner Wohnmobile Bach, for Berlin.
The fleet has 40 models sorted into easy-to-spot families: California pop-top vans, Compact converted vans, Classic and Slim low-profiles, Family overcabs sleeping up to six and Comfort Star, Comfort Luxury and Luxury Star A-class models. Twenty-five models have an automatic gearbox, and two carry the 4x4 label in their name.
CoolDrive has not yet recorded any DRM offers, so the included mileage, excess, security deposit and minimum age need to be checked offer by offer. DRM highlights modern, well-maintained vehicles, designed for a weekend away as much as for a long trip across Europe.
Our verdict: a very varied fleet, with a large share of automatics, and depots covering the north, west, centre, south and east of the country. Watch out for: a network limited to five cities, addresses outside the centres and hire terms to read offer by offer, as CoolDrive has not yet recorded them.

DRM: who is it for, and who should look elsewhere?
DRM is ideal if…
- You only drive automatics: the fleet includes twenty-five automatic models
- You are torn between a pop-top van and a large motorhome: every size is represented
- You are leaving from the Frankfurt area, where DRM has two depots
- You are travelling with children: the Family overcabs offer up to six berths
- You are travelling as two or four and prefer a pop-top van from the California family
DRM is not ideal if…
- You want to know the included mileage before searching: it has not yet been recorded
- You are leaving from Stuttgart, Cologne, Dresden or Leipzig: no DRM depot is listed there
- You plan to walk to the depot from a city centre: they are all on the outskirts
- You want to compare excess and security deposit at a glance, without opening the offer details
Our tips for booking with DRM
-
Spot the right model family
At DRM, the name tells you the type: California for pop-top vans, Compact for converted vans, Classic and Slim for low-profiles, Family for overcabs, Comfort and Luxury Star for A-class models. Then compare the seats and berths, which vary from one model to another.
-
Check the transmission of the chosen model
Several models carry the same name in more than one version: Compact Star, California, Classic Traveller or Classic Excellence. One may be manual and the other automatic. Check the gearbox and the number of berths in the offer sheet before confirming.
-
Plan the journey to the depot
DRM depots are located outside the centres: Hilden for Düsseldorf, Henstedt-Ulzburg for Hamburg, Markt Schwaben for Munich, Vogelsdorf for Berlin. Find the address on the offer sheet and allow for a taxi or a transfer, especially if you are arriving with luggage by train or plane.
-
Read the terms in the offer details
As CoolDrive has not yet recorded any DRM offers, the included mileage, excess, security deposit and minimum age must be read in each offer. Compare them with those of the other German rental companies shown in the same search, and ask our experts about the options that reduce the amount left for you to pay.
-
Take your time over the handover inspection
On departure day, walk round the vehicle with the agent, photograph any existing scratches, test the heating, gas and water, and check the equipment inventory. Keep the assistance number shown on your contract close at hand: it will come in useful if you have a problem on the road.
Your questions about DRM
Where are DRM's depots in Germany?
DRM has six depots listed on CoolDrive, all on the outskirts: Kelsterbach and Rüsselsheim for Frankfurt, Markt Schwaben for Munich, Henstedt-Ulzburg for Hamburg, Hilden for Düsseldorf and Vogelsdorf for Berlin, at partner Wohnmobile Bach. The exact address and handover times are given in the details of each offer.
What types of motorhome does DRM offer?
The DRM fleet covers every size: pop-top vans from the California family, Compact converted vans, Classic and Slim low-profiles, Family overcabs and Comfort Star, Comfort Luxury and Luxury Star A-class models. The smallest models take two people, the Family Palace overcab up to six. Two models, the Compact Cross 4x4 and the California Cross 4x4, are presented as 4x4s.
Can I hire a DRM motorhome with an automatic gearbox?
Yes, and there is plenty of choice: twenty-five of the DRM models listed on CoolDrive have an automatic gearbox. They are found mainly among the Classic and Slim low-profiles, but also among the California vans, the Family overcabs and the Luxury Star A-class. Some names exist in two versions: check the transmission in the offer sheet before booking.
What is the difference between DRM and McRent in Germany?
McRent has a much larger network, with 41 departure cities in our records, and all its recorded offers include unlimited mileage. DRM departs from five major cities, with a fleet of 40 models ranging from the California van to the A-class. As its terms have not yet been recorded, run a search on your dates to compare the two rental companies side by side.
How much does a DRM hire cost in Germany?
We do not yet have any recorded DRM prices to share with you. The rate depends on the season, the duration, the model and the departure depot, and summer generally remains the busiest period. Run a CoolDrive search with your dates and your city: the amount shown includes mandatory fees.

FAQ — DRM motorhome hire in Germany
Why book DRM with CoolDrive?
A single CoolDrive search shows DRM alongside the other German rental companies, with a price that includes mandatory fees. You can add options to the booking, pay online and put your questions to our experts, who help you choose the depot, the model and the dates. The packs offered by CoolDrive come on top of your hire.
Is mileage unlimited with DRM?
CoolDrive has not yet recorded any DRM offers, so we cannot say whether mileage is unlimited or capped. The information is given in the details of each offer, along with the price of extra kilometres where applicable. For a long route, compare this point with the other rental companies shown in the same search.
What excess and security deposit does DRM charge?
Each DRM offer specifies the amount held as a security deposit and the amount left for you to pay in the event of damage, two figures that can change from one model to another. Bring a credit card whose limit covers the deposit on departure day. Our experts can present the options that reduce the excess before you book.
Can I leave Germany with a DRM motorhome?
The permitted and excluded countries are listed in the terms of each DRM offer. Check them before planning your route, especially if you are heading for countries outside the European Union. If in doubt, our experts will check with the rental company that your route is accepted.
Can I return the DRM motorhome to a different depot?
The CoolDrive search engine gives you the answer directly: choose a return city different from the departure city, and only the offers accepting that journey will remain displayed, fees included. With depots in Frankfurt, Munich, Hamburg, Düsseldorf and Berlin, a journey between two of these cities can be considered, subject to the rental company's approval.
Do I need a special licence for the large DRM models?
A B licence is enough for a vehicle whose gross vehicle weight does not exceed 3.5 tonnes. Above that, a C1 licence is required. The large overcabs and A-class models are worth checking: the gross weight is shown in the offer sheet. The rental company also sets a minimum age and a minimum number of years holding a licence, stated in the offer.
