The rental company
McRent in Romania, a departure on the outskirts of Bucharest
In Romania, McRent, the rental brand of the Erwin Hymer Group, itself owned by the American company Thor Industries, entrusts vehicle handovers to a partner dealer, Trust Motors. Its only depot is in Otopeni, the town of Henri Coandă International Airport, alongside the DN1, the national road linking Bucharest to Ploiești and then Brașov.
The Romanian page does not yet detail the models available, and CoolDrive recorded no McRent offer in the country in October 2026. The vehicle, its berths, the kilometres included and the excess can therefore be read in each offer displayed by the search. The rental company advertises recent motorhomes, from compact models for two to family vehicles, with kitchen, shower and toilet, as well as roadside assistance available day and night.
Our verdict: a convenient address for anyone landing in Bucharest who wants to head straight for the Prahova Valley, Brașov and the Saxon villages. The limits are clear: a single departure point, so a loop that returns to Otopeni, little public information on the local fleet and availability that tightens in July and August. Book early for the summer and read the list of additional charges before confirming.

Our view
McRent: who is it for, and who should look elsewhere?
McRent is ideal if…
- You land in Bucharest and want to get behind the wheel without crossing the capital
- You are heading for Transylvania: Brașov, Sibiu, Sighișoara and the Saxon fortified churches
- You want a vehicle from a major European motorhome manufacturer
- You dream of crossing the Carpathians via the Transfăgărășan or the Transalpina in summer
McRent is not ideal if…
- You prefer to start in Cluj-Napoca, Timișoara or Iași
- You want to end the trip somewhere other than Bucharest
- You want to pick a specific model from a catalogue right now: the Romanian range is not detailed
- Your itinerary goes through Moldova, Ukraine or Serbia without the rental company's written approval
Practical tips
Our tips for booking with McRent
-
Plan the journey from the terminal
The McRent depot is at 24, Calea Bucureștilor, on the DN1, a few kilometres from the Henri Coandă terminal. A taxi will get you there quickly. Time your flight to fit the key handover hours: after a late landing, a night in a hotel in Otopeni saves you collecting the vehicle in a rush.
-
Sort out the rovinieta
In Romania, an electronic vignette, the rovinieta, is required to drive on national roads and motorways. Ask the depot whether it comes with the vehicle and for how long. If not, buy it online or at a petrol station before leaving Otopeni.
-
Think in hours, not kilometres
On village roads, horse-drawn carts, herds and potholes slow progress. On Friday evenings and Sundays, the DN1 between Bucharest and Brașov is often congested in the Prahova Valley. Plan short stages and set off early in the morning to get through this section.
-
Keep your food inside
The brown bears of the Carpathians sometimes come close to roads and lay-bys, especially on the Transfăgărășan. Stay in the motorhome, do not hand them anything and leave no rubbish outside at night. Store food on board, with the door and windows closed.
-
Walk around the vehicle with the agent
At departure, photograph every side of the motorhome, check it is clean, test the water, gas, fridge and heating, then count the crockery. Save the assistance number in your phone and reread the charges that may be billed on return: cleaning, fuel, toilet cassette.
What travellers ask
Your questions about McRent
How much does a McRent hire cost in Romania?
CoolDrive recorded no McRent offer in Romania in October 2026: we therefore do not publish prices for this country. The rate depends on the season, the vehicle and the duration. Run a search from Bucharest with your dates: the available offers appear with mandatory fees included, alongside those of the other Romanian rental companies.
Where is the McRent depot in Romania?
It is based at Trust Motors, Calea Bucureștilor 24, in Otopeni, north of Bucharest, along the DN1. Otopeni is the town of Henri Coandă airport, but the depot has no desk in the terminal: plan on a short taxi ride. It is McRent's only address in the country, for both departure and return.
Which McRent motorhomes can you hire in Romania?
Our Romanian page does not yet list any models. Elsewhere, McRent organises its fleet by category, from the van to the large family motorhome, with vehicles from the Erwin Hymer Group brands. The one offered in Otopeni, its number of berths, its transmission and its weight appear in the details of each offer: compare them before choosing.
Can a McRent collected in Bucharest leave Romania?
Bulgaria, via the Giurgiu bridge over the Danube, and Hungary, to the west, are neighbours that are members of the European Union. Moldova, Ukraine and Serbia are not. The permitted countries are set by McRent in the terms of the offer: check them before planning your itinerary, and remember that the return is in Otopeni.
Which route should you take in a McRent motorhome from Bucharest?
The DN1 takes you in two to three hours to Sinaia and Peleș Castle, then to Brașov. From there, Sighișoara, Biertan and Sibiu form the Saxon heart of Transylvania. With two or three weeks, add the painted monasteries of Bucovina or Maramureș in the north, then come back down via the Transfăgărășan, open in summer.

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 hire in Romania
Why book McRent with CoolDrive?
A CoolDrive search from Bucharest sets the McRent offer against those of Rent Easy, Anywhere Campers and the other Romanian rental companies, for your exact dates. The price shown already contains the mandatory fees, and the terms of the offer can be read before payment. A question about the Otopeni depot or the security deposit? Our experts will answer you.
McRent in Romania: what excess, what security deposit?
With no offer recorded in the country in October 2026, we do not publish any amount. The excess, that is the sum that may be left for you to pay in the event of covered damage, is stated in each offer. The security deposit is generally blocked at departure on a credit card in the main driver's name: check your limit before the trip.
What age and which licence do you need to drive a McRent in Romania?
A category B licence is enough for motorhomes up to 3.5 tonnes; above that, you need a C1 licence. McRent sets a minimum age and a number of years of holding a licence, both written in the offer. A licence issued outside the European Union may require an international driving permit: find out before you leave and keep it on board with your passport.
Where can you spend the night in a motorhome in Romania?
Campsites are less numerous than in Western Europe, but you will find them in Transylvania, the Carpathians and on the Black Sea coast; many close out of season. Some guesthouses also accept motorhomes in their courtyard. Outside protected areas, ask the landowner's permission before stopping for the night.
Which season should you choose for Romania by motorhome?
May, June and September offer mild temperatures, quieter roads and mountains that are still green. July and August are hot on the Danube plain and lively on the coast, but this is the only period when the Transfăgărășan is in principle open. In winter, snow closes the passes: choose lowland stages instead.
Can you return the motorhome somewhere other than Otopeni?
McRent has only one depot in Romania: the vehicle therefore returns to Otopeni at the end of the loop. To finish in Cluj-Napoca or outside the country, enter that other destination as the return location in the search engine: it then shows only compatible offers. Otherwise, allow half a day's margin for the journey back from Transylvania.
About us
McRent in Romania, to book on CoolDrive Nomad
Between the Carpathian loop, the Saxon citadels, the monasteries of Bucovina, the Danube Delta and the Black Sea beaches, Romania is well suited to discovery by motorhome, especially as public transport serves its villages poorly. McRent, the rental brand of the Erwin Hymer Group, hands over its vehicles there from a single depot, at Trust Motors in Otopeni, a few minutes from Bucharest airport and right on the road to Brașov.
On CoolDrive Nomad, you compare this offer with those of Rent Easy and Anywhere Campers, you pay the price shown, mandatory fees already included, and our experts help you choose the vehicle, the dates and the itinerary. The model, the kilometres included and the excess are detailed in each offer: enter your dates to see them.
