 Namibia Car Rental Mini Guide

Namibia is a vast and arid country and if you want to see as much of it as possible, we recommend booking a hire car, as public transport is very minimal indeed. Whether you want to explore the desert or view the amazing wildlife in the national parks, renting a car is as safe and convenient way, not to mention cost effective means of transport.

Depending on your intended use for a hire car in Namibia will determine what type of vehicle you should rent. If you are planning to travel beyond the towns and cities, a 4x4 or pick-up is wise to ensure safe passage over what can be very poor quality road surfaces. Not all rural roads are paved and a regular car unlikely to be suitable for such journeys.
