Rental terms of McRent, updated on 9 September 2026.
Rental Terms and Conditions for motorhomes in Sweden
Dear Hirer,
Your contract partner is the respective local rental station that will hand the Vehicle over to
you. Therefore, upon conclusion of a contract on the booking of a motorhome, the following
Rental Terms and Conditions (to the extent effectively agreed) will become part of the contract
coming about between the partners and licensees of Rental Alliance GmbH, i.e. the respective
local rental station (herein after referred to as the „Rental Company“) and you. Please read
these Terms and Conditions of Business carefully.
(*Translation only. The only legally binding version of this document is the German one.)
The following Standard Terms and Conditions [AGB] of McRent, its partners and licensees
(hereinafter referred to as „the Rental Company“) apply exclusively. Terms and
conditions of the Hirer, which contradict or deviate from the Standard Terms and
Conditions of the Rental Company will not be recognized. The Standard Terms and
Conditions of the Rental Company will apply even if the Rental Company hires the Vehicle
out to the Hirer without reservation, knowing that terms and conditions of the Hirer
contradict or deviate from these Standard Terms and Conditions.
The sole subject of the contract with the Rental Company is the hiring out of
the Vehicle. The Rental Company is under no obligation to provide travel
services, and in particular no package of travel services.
In the event of a booking, a rental contract will arise between the Rental Company and
the Hirer(s), which is solely subject to Swedish law. The statutory provisions relating to
travel contracts do not apply to the contract either directly or accordingly. The Hirer will
organize his journey himself and make use of the Vehicle on his own responsibility. The
rental contract is limited to a specific period as agreed.
All agreements between the Rental Company and the Hirer must be concluded in writing.
2.1 The Hirer and any other driver must be at least 21 years old. For Vehicles above 3,5 tons
(Premium Group) the minimum age is 25 years. The Hirer and any other drivers must have
been in possession of a Class III / Class B or comparable national driver´s license for at
least one year – for Vehicles above 3,5 tons (Premium Group) not less than 3 years –
corresponding to the weight of the Vehicle. The delivery of the Vehicles requires the
presentation by the Hirer and/or driver(s) of the driver’s license and the valid
identification card/pass- port at the time of taking possession. If a delay in taking
possession occurs due to the non-presentation of said documents, such delay shall be at
the expense of the Hirer. If such documents cannot be presented at neither the agreed
time for taking possession, nor within a reasonable grace period thereafter, then the
Rental Company shall be entitled to withdraw from the contract. The cancellation
provisions set forth in section 4.2 shall apply. The Rental Company or the official
authorities of the country may require the presentation of an international driver’s
license (for non-EU citizens).
2.2 Please note that some of the Rental Company’s Vehicles have a total weight of more than
3.5 tons (Premium Group) and that to drive these Vehicles an appropriate driver´s license
is required. Those in possession of a Class B driver´s license must consult the Rental
Company about the engine size and the technically permissible total weight of the Vehicle
rented. If, upon renting, a respective driver´s license cannot be presented, the Vehicle shall
be regarded as not collected. In such case, there shall apply the respective terms of
cancellation (see 4.2).
2.3 2.4 The Vehicle may only be driven by the Hirer and the drivers named at the time of hiring.
The Hirer is under an obligation to record the names and addresses of all drivers to whom
he entrusts the Vehicle, for however short a time, and supply this information to the
Rental Company on request. The Hirer bears the same responsibility for the actions of
any driver to whom he supplies the Vehicle as for his own.
The rental price payable is the one applicable for the rental period at the booked the rental
station of the vehicle. The rental price is calculated in accordance with the price rate valid
on the day of booking the vehicle for the reserved travel period. The minimum rental
period set by the Rental Company shall apply. A one-off lump-sum service charge is levied
for each rental. The amount is determined by the Rental Company and is shown in the
price calculation on your rental contract.
3.2 The relevant hire charge includes: In generally unlimited mileage; specials could have
limited kilometres, extra kilometres will be charge according to the valid price list;
insurance cover modelled on German „Kasko“ insurance as described in Section 12 and
the vehicle manufacturer’s mobility guarantee. The bicycle racks are not suitable for E-
Bikes.
3.3 The daily rates applicable will be charged for each 24-hour period completed or
commenced during the rental period. The rental period will begin when the Hirer takes
possession of the Vehicle at the rental station and end when the rental station employee
takes it back.
3.4 If the Vehicle is returned after the time agreed in writing, the Rental Company will charge
a fee according to the actual valid pricelist (up to a maximum equal to the relevant full
day price for each day late). Any costs incurred as a result of a subsequent Hirer or any
other person making claims against the Rental Company on the grounds that a Vehicle
was supplied late must be borne by the Hirer.
3.5 If the Vehicle is returned before the expiry of the agreed rental period, the full
contractually agreed hire charge must be paid unless the Vehicle can be hired out to
someone else.
3.6 The Vehicle will be supplied with a full tank and must be returned in the same condition.
Otherwise, the Rental Company will charge the diesel according to the valid price list
(https://www.mcrent.se/hyresvillkor/). Fuel, AdBlue and running costs during the rental
period must be borne by the Hirer.
One-way rentals are only possible by special agreement.
3.7 4.1 4. Reservation, rebooking and cancellation
Reservations are only binding after they have been confirmed by the Rental Company
as described in Subsection 4.2, and then only for Vehicle groups, not for Vehicle types.
This will apply even if a specific Vehicle type is mentioned as an example in the
description of the Vehicle group. The Rental Company reserves the right to upgrade the
client to an equivalent or superior Vehicle.
4.2 To confirm the booking a deposit of 30% of the rental charge, with a minimum of 3.000 SEK
must be paid. After receiving the payment, a booking confirmation will be sent to the Hirer.
Only then will the reservation become binding on both parties. If the Hirer exceeds this
deadline written in the offer the Rental Company will cease to be bound by the reservation.

period (Pick Up), we will charge a processing fee of 1.000 SEK

The cancellation must be made in writing.
4.3 Changes may be made to a reservation confirmed to the Hirer from the date of
reservation until at least sixty days before the agreed commencement of the rental
period, as long as the Rental Company has alternative capacity and the alternative
booking corresponds in amount to the first. Rebooking is only possible in the same
calendar year and at the same station, a change of station is not possible in case of
rebooking.
Later changes of bookings are not possible. If the booked travel period is
shortened/reduced, the above-mentioned cancellation conditions apply to the
cancelled nights. Each rental amendment will be charged according to the valid price
list. After conclusion of the contract the Hirer is not entitled to any changes with
regard to begin of term of rental.
4.4 If the Rental Company cannot provide the rental vehicle of the booked vehicle group
on the planned pick-up date, the Rental Company reserves itself the right to:
a) provide a vehicle of an equal or higher category. If the Rental Company provides a
vehicle of an equal or higher category, the hirer shall not be entitled to cancel the rental
contract.
b) If a vehicle of an equal or higher category cannot be made available either, the Rental
Company is entitled to rebook the customer to a vehicle of a lower category. The Rental
Company shall reimburse the Hirer for the difference in price to the rental charge
already paid by the Hirer in advance. If the Rental Company provides a vehicle of a
lower rental category, cancellation of the rental contract by the Hirer is excluded.
c) If the Rental Company is unable to provide a replacement vehicle, the Rental Company
is entitled to offer a rental from another rental station. In this case, the current daily
prices for the rental vehicle at the new rental station shall apply. Possible additional
costs are to be borne by the hirer.
d) If the Rental Company cannot provide a replacement vehicle and the Hirer does not
accept a rental offer from another rental station, the Rental Company reserves itself
the right to cancel the booking free of charge. The Rental Company shall reimburse the
Hirer for any payments already made.
This provision shall apply, amongst other things, in the event of delays in delivery or non-
delivery of the rental vehicle, as well as destruction of the vehicle due to force majeure,
weather conditions, explosion, fire, theft, burglary, amended legal regulations or other
amended regulations.
The predicted hire charge, calculated on the basis of the booking details, must be
received at least 40 days before the commencement of the hire in an account of the
Rental Company to be notified to the Hirer, free of any charges.

security deposit when the Vehicle is returned.
5.5 If the Hirer defaults on payment, interest will be charged in accordance with the
statutory regulations in force.
6.1 Before taking the wheel, the Hirer is under an obligation to take part in a detailed
introduction to the Vehicle by the Rental Company’s experts at the collection center.
On that occasion, there is drawn up a detailed report (Pick Up) of delivery describing
the condition of the Vehicle that is to be signed by both parties. The Rental Company is
entitled to refuse to hand over the Vehicle until this introduction has taken place. If
handover is delayed due to the fault of the Hirer, he must bear any costs incurred as a
result.
6.2 On returning the Vehicle, the Hirer is under an obligation to carry out a final
examination of it together with rental station staff, with a written return report (Drop
Off) to be prepared and signed by the Rental Company and the Hirer. Any damage not
specified in the report of delivery that is detected upon return of the Vehicle shall be
at the Hirer’s expense.
6.3 Regular vehicle handovers take place Monday to Friday in the afternoon; returns take
place Monday to Friday in the morning. You can find your booked pick-up time in your
booking confirmation. Pick up and Drop Off times as shown in the rental contract are
binding.
The exact times can be found on the station details pages:
https://www.mcrent.eu/motorhome-rv-rental/sweden/
On Saturdays, collection and return are only possible by prior arrangement. This will
incur an additional charge, to be agreed. The days of collection and return will be
charged together as a single day, as long as a total of 24 hours is either not exceeded or
only exceeded due to the fault of the Rental Company.
6.4 The Vehicles are delivered with a clean interior and are to be returned by the Hirer in
the same condition as are received. Should the interior not be in the same clean
condition as received, the Hirer will be liable for the cleaning fee.
The Hirer is prohibited from using the Vehicle as follows: to participate in motor sport
events and Vehicle tests, to transport easily inflammable, poisonous or otherwise
dangerous substances, to commit Customs or other criminal offences, even if these
are only punishable according to the law applicable in the place where the offence was
committed, for rental to a third party or for the commercial transport of passengers or
for any other use going beyond that agreed by contract, in particular driving on terrain
not intended for the purpose.
The Vehicle must be treated carefully and appropriately and properly locked on
all occasions. The regulations and technical rules applicable to its use must be
complied with. Its running condition, in particular oil and water levels and tire
pressure, must be monitored. The Hirer undertakes to check regularly to make
sure that the Vehicle is in a roadworthy condition.
All Vehicles are non-smoking Vehicles. This means that you may not smoke in any part
of the Vehicle. Pets may only be brought along subject to the Rental Company’s explicit
approval. Cleaning expenses caused by non-compliance with regulations must be borne
by the Hirer. Any costs which may be incurred by ventilation or for elimination of
contamination with smoke, including lost profits resulting from temporary non-
availability of the Vehicle for hire owing to these circumstances, shall also be borne by
the Hirer.
Participation in festivals and other events is only permitted with the express consent
of the Rental Company.
If evidence of violation of the provisions in the aforementioned paragraphs 7.1, 7.2 and 7.3
can be provided, the Rental Company may terminate the lease without notice.
After an accident, theft or damage by fire or collision with a wild animal, the police must
be informed immediately and also the Rental Company or the rental station (for
Telephone Number see rental contract), at the latest immediately after the working day
following the day of the accident/incident. It is not permitted to accept any third-party
claims as valid.
Even in the case of very slight damage, the Hirer must prepare a detailed written report
for the Rental Company, including a sketch. If, for whatever reason, the Hirer fails to draw
up such report and if, because of that, the insurance company refuses to pay the damage,
the Hirer shall be obliged to pay full compensation for the damage.
The accident report must in particular include the names and addresses of anyone involved
and any witnesses, together with the license numbers of all Vehicles involved and has to be
over handed filled out and signed by drop off latest towards Rental Company.
Journeys inside the Scandinavian countries (Norway, Sweden and Finland) are allowed.
Travelling to countries outside of Sweden, Finland and Norway, but inside Europe, is only
allowed with the prior approval of the rental station. The applicable entry requirements
can be found on our website: https://www.mcrent.eu/service/travel-requirements
Journeys to areas outside of Europe are not permitted. Journeys to areas affected by war
or crisis are also prohibited.
10.1 Any claims to compensation by the Hirer on the basis of defects for which the Rental
Company is not responsible are hereby excluded.
10.2 Any defects in the Vehicle or its fittings/equipment which are discovered after the
commencement of the hire must be reported to the Rental Company in writing by the
Hirer by returning of Vehicle. Claims for damages based on subsequently notified defects
shall be excluded unless the claim is based on a defect that is not patent.
11.1 Repairs, which are necessary in order to maintain the Vehicle in a good working and
roadworthy condition during the rental period may be ordered by the Hirer up to 1.000
SEK without consultation. Repairs going beyond this may only be ordered with the consent
of the Rental Company. The Rental Company will bear repair costs on production of the
original invoices and the parts replaced, as long as the Hirer is not liable for the dam- age
pursuant to Section 12 below. This does not apply to tire damage.
11.2 If a defect for which the Rental Company is responsible makes such a repair necessary, and
if the Hirer does not rectify the defect on his own initiative, the Hirer must notify the Rental
Company of the defect immediately and set a reasonable deadline for its repair. Any
circumstances specific to a particular country (e.g. infrastructure) which delay the repair
must be taken into account here to avoid disadvantage to the Rental Company.
11.3 If the Vehicle is destroyed without any fault on the part of the Hirer or if it appears likely
that its use will be prevented or withdrawn for an unreasonably long time, the Rental
Company will be entitled to supply the Hirer with an equivalent substitute Vehicle within
a reasonable period. If the Rental Company supplies an equivalent substitute Vehicle, any
termination by the Hirer is excluded. If in such a case the Rental Company offers a Vehicle
from a lower price class and this is accepted by the Hirer, the Rental Company will
reimburse to the Hirer the difference between this and the price already paid in advance
by the Hirer. If no replacement vehicle can be provided, the Rental Company may cancel
the contract.
11.4 If the Vehicle is destroyed due to the Hirer’s fault or if it is foreseeable that its use will
be prevented or made impossible for an unreasonably long period due to the Hirer’s
fault, the Rental Company may refuse to make a replacement Vehicle available. In such
a case, termination of the contract by the Hirer is excluded. If the Rental Company
provides a replacement Vehicle, it can charge the Hirer with the transfer costs incurred.
12.1 In accordance with the principles of a comprehensive motor insurance, the Rental
Company will indemnify the Hirer from liability subject to an excess of 17.000 SEK
[German: Kasko] to be borne by the Hirer in case of damage subject to full comprehensive
motor insurance per case of damage. The respective excess cannot be excluded.
12.2 The indemnity against liability described in Subsection 12.1 will not apply if the Hirer
causes a loss/damage deliberately or by gross negligence.
If the Hirer causes loss/damage culpably, he will additionally be liable in the following
cases:
if loss/damage was caused by impaired ability to drive due to drugs or alcohol
if the Hirer or a driver to whom the Hirer has supplied the Vehicle leaves the site of an
accident without justification
if the Hirer fails to call the police to an accident, contrary to the obligation imposed by
Section 8, unless this breach of obligation does not affect either the establishment of
the cause of the loss/damage or of its amount
if the Hirer breaches any other obligations imposed by Section 8, unless this breach of
obligation does not affect either the establishment of the cause of the loss/damage or
of its amount
if loss/damage is due to usage prohibited by Subsection 7.1
if loss/damage is due to a breach of an obligation imposed by Subsection 7.2
if loss/damage is caused by an unauthorized driver to whom the Hirer has supplied the
Vehicle
if loss/damage is due to a failure to take account of the Vehicle’s dimensions (height
Swedish Road Traffic Regulations, with Swedish Road Traffic Regulations or equivalent
country signs.
if loss/damage is due to a failure to comply with load regulations
if damage is caused by the use of the wrong fuel (Incorrect refuelling), if water, AdBlue or oil
is not refilled and warning indicators in the vehicle have been disregarded; the insurance does
not cover the damages. This also counts for interior damages and incorrect operation of for
instance awning, water, AdBlue and fuel tank.
12.3 To avoid increasing costs due to expenses incurred to establish the amount of the damage
suffered, the Rental Company will in the event of accident damage initially supply the Hirer on
request with sample invoices for the type of case concerned.
12.4 Personal property of the Hirer, which is damaged - or lost - as a result of an accident or theft is
not insured.
12.5 The Hirer is liable for all fees, charges, fines and penalties imposed upon the Rental
Company in connection with the use of the Vehicle, unless these are incurred due to the
fault of the Rental Company. The Rental Company reserves the right to deduct the fees,
charges, fines and penalties from the clients’ credit card. Additional handling charges are
subject to the displayed pricing lists at the rental stations.
12.6 More than one Hirer will be generally and severally liable.
13.1 The Rental Company bears unlimited liability for deliberate action and gross
negligence. In the case of simple negligence, the Rental Company is only liable for
foreseeable loss/dam- age typical of the type of contract concerned where there is a
breach of an obligation the meeting of which is of particular importance for the
achievement of the purpose of the contract (cardinal obligation). This standard of
liability also applies in cases of obstacles to performance at the time of the conclusion
of the contract.
13.2 The above limitations and exclusions of liability do not apply to claims under the
terms of the German Product Liability Act or to claims based on injury to life, limb orT&C Sweden Page 2 of 2
health or infringements of liberty.
13.3 Claims which are not excluded according to paragraph 13.1 but were only limited in
scope shall become statute-barred within a year of the end of the year of the claim
being created and the circumstances justifying the claim and the debtor’s identity
being disclosed to the creditor or the creditor, without gross negligence, being
considered to be aware of such circumstances or identity. With the exception of
claims for damages which are based on loss of life, physical injury, health hazards or
the loss of freedom and claims based on the product liability act, claims for damages
shall become statute-barred – with no consideration being given as to whether the
creditor was aware of the circumstances and identity or, without gross negligence,
should have been aware of such circumstances and identity – within five years of the
end of the year in which the claim was created.
13.4 The Terms and conditions of the Rental Company apply. These are provided at the
rental depot during pick-up and are published on our website. Additional price lists
are published in each Rental Station.
14.1 The Hirer agrees to the Rental Company storing personal data.
14.2 The Rental Company may forward these data via the central warning ring to third
parties with a justified interest if the statements made in the rental are incorrect in
essential points or the rented Vehicle is not returned within 24 hours of the expiry of
the rental period (also extended, if need be) or if rental claims have to be made in
judicial reminder proceedings or cheques presented by the Hirer are not honored. In
addition, the data can be forwarded to all the authorities responsible for prosecution
of offences against public order and criminal offences in the event of the Hirer actually
behaving dishonestly or sufficient indications here for existing. This is done, for
example, in the event of wrong information for the rental, presentation of forged
personal documents or such reported as having been lost, failure to return the Vehicle,
failure to notify a technical defect, road traffic offences or similar.
The Rental Company´s Vehicles can be equipped with GPS Tracking Systems.
For all disputes arising out of or in connection with the hire contract for the Vehicle,
it is hereby agreed that if the Hirer has no general legal venue in Germany or if the
Hirer against whom legal action is to be brought to enforce a claim transfers his
place of residence or usual abode abroad after the conclusion of the contract or if
his place of residence or usual abode is not known at the time when action is
brought or if the Hirer is a merchant [Kaufmann] as defined by German law or a
person defined as equivalent by § 38 Para. 1 German Code of Civil Procedure [ZPO],
the legal venue will be that of the rental station concerned.
Valid from December 10th, 2025
