The rental company
McRent in Sweden, between Lake Mälaren and the Gulf of Bothnia
In Sweden, McRent, the rental brand of the Erwin Hymer Group (now part of the American company Thor Industries), hires out its motorhomes from two depots more than 600 km apart by road. The first is in Bålsta, north-west of Stockholm, along the E18; the second is in Degernäs, near Umeå, on the coast of the Gulf of Bothnia.
Ten models have been observed, all with manual transmission: three Urban campervans (Standard, Plus and Luxury), Compact and Comfort low-profiles, a Comfort Luxury A-class and Family models with up to five berths.
The 40 McRent offers observed by CoolDrive in Sweden all include unlimited mileage, which is welcome when driving up the country towards Lapland. The excess amount was not observed: it is shown in the details of each offer.
Our verdict: vehicles from a major European manufacturer and communication that our customers praise in their reviews. On the downside, only two departure points, with no depot in the south or on the west coast, and prices observed in July that more than double compared with spring.

Our view
McRent: who is it for, and who should look elsewhere?
McRent is ideal if…
- You are landing in Stockholm and heading for Lake Mälaren, Uppsala or Dalarna
- You want Swedish Lapland or the High Coast without driving up from the south
- Your tour is long: no observed offer caps the mileage
- There are four or five of you and you are looking for a Family overcab
- You want a vehicle built by a major European manufacturer
McRent is not ideal if…
- You plan to leave from Gothenburg, Malmö or the south of the country: McRent has no listed depot there
- You only drive automatics
- You are travelling in July on a tight budget
- There are more than five of you on board
Practical tips
Our tips for booking with McRent
-
Choose the depot according to your direction
From Bålsta, you can explore around Lake Mälaren, towards Uppsala, Dalarna or the Gotland ferry at Nynäshamn. From Umeå, the E4 follows the High Coast southwards and the E12 heads towards Lapland and Norway. Starting from the right depot saves whole days of transfers.
-
Prefer June or September to high summer
Prices observed in July are much higher than in spring or autumn, and families book early. In June, the nights are almost white in the north; in September, the forests turn colour and the roads empty. If your dates are fixed in summer, book several months in advance.
-
Always drive with your lights on
In Sweden, dipped headlights stay on day and night. In the north, also watch out for reindeer and elk, especially at dawn and dusk. In winter, suitable tyres are compulsory in winter conditions: ask the depot what equipment is provided on your vehicle.
-
Do a thorough walk-around of the vehicle at departure
Take the time to photograph the bodywork, check the inventory and test the heating, water and gas before leaving the depot. Save the assistance number in your phone: if there is a problem far from Bålsta or Umeå, you will know who to call straight away.
-
Read the terms before planning your itinerary
The countries and regions where the motorhome may be driven, the excess and the cleaning fees are set out in black and white in the terms. Reread them before considering a trip into Norway or Finland, and compare what is included in the price shown to avoid surprises at the counter.
What travellers ask
Your questions about McRent
Where are the McRent depots in Sweden?
McRent has two depots in Sweden. The Stockholm one is actually in Bålsta, Björnängsvägen 6, north-west of the capital. The second is in Degernäs, near Umeå, in the north of the country. Neither is located at an airport: plan a transfer by train, bus or taxi to the chosen depot.
How many kilometres can I drive with a Swedish McRent motorhome?
As many as you like, in our observations: the 40 McRent offers observed in Sweden in October 2026 all include unlimited mileage, whatever the model. This is invaluable in such an elongated country, where the round trip between Umeå and the Arctic Circle, or between Stockholm and the High Coast, already amounts to hundreds of kilometres.
Which McRent model should I choose for a trip to Sweden?
For two, an Urban campervan goes anywhere, from the lanes of Sigtuna to forest tracks. The Compact Plus or a Comfort provides more space and a proper shower room. For four or five people, look at the Family models: the Plus and Luxury versions offer five berths. All the listed models have manual transmission.
Can I cross into Norway or Finland with a McRent motorhome hired in Sweden?
From Umeå, Norway and Finland are within driving distance, and the temptation is great. McRent itself sets the permitted destinations, which can be found in the terms attached to each offer. Check this list before booking, and ask our experts if your itinerary crosses a border.
How much does a McRent hire cost in Sweden?
Our prices observed in October 2026, for 14-day hires with mandatory fees included, put the starting price of a McRent campervan at €85 per day, for an April departure. In July, median prices reach around €224 for a campervan, €268 for a low-profile and €313 for a large model. Run a search with your dates to get the exact rate.

Everything went well from the beginning to the end. I was informed at all times, even they wrote to me because there was a change of camper due to circumstances and they notified me in case I didn't agree. There was no problem, I'm very grateful because it's a pleasure to travel like this. Thank you very much.

Frequently asked questions
FAQ — McRent motorhome hire in Sweden
Why book McRent with CoolDrive?
A single CoolDrive search shows McRent alongside the other rental companies present in Sweden, with a price that already includes mandatory fees. Mileage, berths and departure depot appear for each offer, and our experts help you choose between Bålsta and Umeå depending on your itinerary.
What excess and security deposit should I expect with McRent in Sweden?
The excess amount was not observed for the Swedish offers: it is stated in the details of each offer, along with the security deposit required at departure. The main driver must present a credit card in their name with a limit that covers this amount. Ask our experts about ways to reduce the excess.
Is a McRent motorhome in Sweden in the middle of winter possible?
Yes, offers have been observed for January. The Swedish winter does, however, require preparation: very short days in the north, snowy roads and suitable tyres compulsory in winter conditions. Check the vehicle’s equipment, the heating and whether campsites on your route are open, as opening is often reduced out of season.
What licence do I need to drive a McRent motorhome?
A category B licence is enough for vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes gross weight; above that, a C1 licence is required. McRent’s own conditions on age and years holding a licence are stated in each offer. Check the weight of the chosen model, especially for the Family overcabs and the Comfort Luxury A-class.
Where can I sleep in a motorhome in Sweden?
The right of public access to nature, allemansrätten, mainly concerns hikers: it does not allow a motorhome to set up just anywhere. Choose campsites, which are plentiful along the lakes and coasts, and dedicated motorhome areas, called ställplatser. Always respect signage and private land.
What should I do if there is a problem during the hire?
First call the assistance number given at departure, then notify the depot and keep a written record of your exchanges. Photograph the problem, keep the invoices if a repair is carried out and contact our experts: they liaise with McRent during and after your trip.
