McRent Bologna South c/o Nauticaravan Imola SrlVia Pietro Nenni 7/A, 40026 Imola
McRent in Italy, from Piedmont to the islands
Behind McRent is the Erwin Hymer Group, one of Europe’s major motorhome manufacturers, now owned by the American company Thor Industries. In Italy, its 14 depots are run by local partners specialising in motorhomes: Turin, Milan, Vicenza, Modena, Bologna and Rimini in the north, Pisa and Rome in the centre, Pignataro Interamna near Frosinone, Matera and Brindisi in the south, Catania in Sicily, Sassari and Cagliari in Sardinia.
Four ranges are offered: the Urban campervan, the Compact and Comfort low-profiles, and the Family, whose overcabs offer five berths. Each comes in Standard, Plus or Luxury, and all the models shown have a manual gearbox.
The McRent offers observed by CoolDrive in Italy in October 2026 all include unlimited mileage, with an excess of €1,700, whatever the model.
Our verdict: a well-spread network, rare in the south and on the islands, and unlimited mileage that is invaluable in a country as long as Italy. Its weak points: no automatic gearbox, no airport depot, depots often far from the city whose name they bear, and models that are quickly booked up in high season.

McRent: who is it for, and who should look elsewhere?
McRent is ideal if…
- You plan to link northern and southern Italy without watching the mileage counter
- You want to start your trip directly in Sardinia or Sicily
- Your route goes through Puglia or Matera: two depots are right there
- You are travelling as five and looking for a Family overcab with five berths
- You prefer a vehicle built by a recognised manufacturer
McRent is not ideal if…
- You only drive automatics
- You want to collect the motorhome as soon as you get off the plane
- You are travelling as six: no observed model has more than five berths
- You are heading for western Sicily: the only Sicilian depot is in Randazzo, north of Etna
- You are booking at the last minute for August
Our tips for booking with McRent
-
Read the address behind the city name
Several McRent depots are far from the centre of the city shown. For Catania, departure is from Randazzo, on the northern slopes of Etna; for Bologna, from Imola or Modena; for Milan, from Caponago; for Turin, from None; for Vicenza, from Alonte. Plan the journey before setting the time of your train or flight.
-
Make the most of unlimited mileage for a long itinerary
With unlimited mileage, a route from the northern lakes down to Puglia or Calabria costs nothing extra in kilometres. Still keep your daily stages reasonable: mountain and coastal roads are slow, and a motorhome travels more slowly than a car.
-
Pick up the motorhome on the island
Taking a motorhome on a ferry to Sardinia or Sicily is expensive in high summer. McRent has two Sardinian depots, in Sassari and near Cagliari, and one Sicilian depot: reach the island by plane or by boat as a foot passenger, and start your trip there.
-
Stay out of ZTLs
Almost all Italian historic centres are classified as limited traffic zones, with cameras at the entrance. The fine often arrives long after you get home. Leave the vehicle in a motorhome parking area outside and finish the journey by public transport or on foot.
-
Book early for July and August
In high season, the most popular models, such as the Family overcabs, go quickly. Booking several months before departure leaves you free to choose the range and the city. If your dates are flexible, aim for April, May or October instead: availability is wider.
-
Take care when returning the vehicle
The return conditions are strict: a late return or a motorhome returned dirty may incur fees, according to the rental company’s terms. Allow some leeway on the time of the last day, empty the grey water and the toilet and clean the interior before arriving at the depot.
Your questions about McRent
How much does a McRent hire cost in Italy?
For a two-week hire, prices observed in October 2026, including mandatory fees, start a McRent campervan at €79 per day in October. In July, the median price approaches €141 per day for a campervan, €171 for a low-profile and €177 for a large motorhome. In January, the campervan median drops to €92. A single search gives you the price for your own dates.
Where are McRent’s depots in Italy?
McRent has 14 depots, one per city: Turin, Milan, Vicenza, Modena, Bologna, Rimini, Pisa, Rome, Pignataro Interamna, Matera, Brindisi, Catania, Sassari and Cagliari. They are run by local partners, often on the outskirts or in a neighbouring town, and none is located at an airport. The exact address is shown on each city’s page and in the offer.
Can you hire a McRent motorhome in Sardinia or Sicily?
Yes. In Sardinia, McRent has a depot in Sassari, in the north, and another in Selargius, on the outskirts of Cagliari, in the south: a one-way hire between the two may therefore be worth searching for. In Sicily, the only depot is in Randazzo, on the northern slopes of Etna, inland.
Which McRent range should you choose for Italy?
For two, an Urban campervan gets through village lanes and the roads of the Amalfi Coast more easily. The Compact and Comfort low-profiles bring a proper shower room and more storage. For families, the Family Plus and Luxury overcabs offer five seats and five berths. Always check the number of berths, which varies by version.
McRent or Rent Easy in Italy: what is the difference?
Both brands belong to the Erwin Hymer Group. In Italy, McRent departs from 14 cities and all its observed offers include unlimited mileage. Rent Easy is present in 8 cities, with its City, Active and Family ranges and limited mileage in our surveys. The excess observed is €1,700 with both. The search engine shows them side by side.
They rented with McRent
Good and quick communication, easy to book and easy to follow all the instructions.
Cooldrive was very attentive and very responsive in all situations. We received valuable assistance in the steps to be taken. I highly recommend it.
The person answered my questions before I confirmed the booking. The van matched my order well with extras. During my trip, I had a little issue that had nothing to do with Cooldrive. I appreciated that the person took the time to call me back. No bad surprises, only good ones. Highly recommended.
FAQ — McRent motorhome hire in Italy
Why book McRent with CoolDrive?
A single CoolDrive search shows you McRent alongside Anywhere Campers, Motorhomes Italy or Rent Easy, for the same dates and the same city. The amount shown includes mandatory fees and does not change when you pay. Our experts know the Italian depots and help you choose the most convenient starting point for your itinerary.
What is the excess with McRent in Italy?
The McRent offers observed in Italy in October 2026 all state an excess of €1,700, from the Urban campervan to the Family overcab. This is the maximum amount you pay if the vehicle is damaged. The security deposit, its amount and the accepted card are shown in the offer’s terms: make sure your card limit covers it.
Are McRent motorhomes in Italy automatic?
No. In Italy, McRent only shows models with a manual gearbox, whether an Urban campervan or a Family overcab. For an automatic vehicle, use the search engine’s transmission filter: in our Italian surveys, Anywhere Campers offers automatic campervans and motorhomes, which may be a suitable alternative.
Is a one-way hire possible with McRent in Italy?
It depends on the offer and the two depots concerned. Choose an arrival city different from the departure city when searching: the engine keeps only the compatible offers, any fees included. Otherwise, plan a loop, for example Tuscany and Umbria from Pisa, or Puglia and Basilicata from Brindisi or Matera.
Do you need to book far in advance?
For the summer, yes. From June to September, and especially in August, the most sought-after McRent models are booked early, and the choice of depots narrows. Booking several months before departure leaves you the range and city of your choice. In spring and autumn, availability is wider and observed prices are lower.
How does returning a McRent motorhome work?
As a rule, you return the vehicle to the departure depot, at the time set in the booking. Fees may apply for a late return or if the motorhome is not returned in good condition, according to the rental company’s terms. Allow some leeway on the last day, fill up the tank if the offer requires it and report any damage during the vehicle inspection.
