Car rental · Windhoek, Namibia
Self-drive 4x4s and campers from our Windhoek office, from N$1,015 per day, with unlimited kilometres, free airport transfers in office hours and 24/7 support.
Renting a car in Windhoek
Almost every self-drive trip in Namibia starts and ends in Windhoek. We are based in the capital, and our vehicles are prepared here for a country where gravel roads make up around 90% of the road network, so a city runabout will not do.
You do not need a 4x4 for most main routes, but you do need the ground clearance, tyres and comfort of one to drive long days on gravel in a relaxed way. Our four-wheel drive is a free safety device that can be engaged when needed; unlike many competitors, a 4x4 with four-wheel drive is standard with us.
From the international airport almost every route starts on tar, but Etosha, Sossusvlei and the coast mean long gravel legs. That is why every vehicle is handed over with a briefing on the 4x4 system and gravel driving technique.
Collection
Our office is at 20 Palladium Street, Prosperita, Windhoek. Collection is during office hours (Monday to Friday, 08:00 to 17:00), and the handover takes 45 to 90 minutes: the contract, the vehicle and its 4x4 system, and a full demonstration of any camping equipment.
Flying in? Hosea Kutako International Airport is about 45 km east of Windhoek, roughly a 45-minute drive. Send us your flight details when you book and we schedule your free airport transfer automatically within office hours. Arriving a day before your rental starts is fine: we take you to your guesthouse and transfer you to the office the next day, all included in your rental price.
The fleet
Four 4x4 groups for Windhoek collection: automatic, expedition-prepared and priced per day, with campers in the same fleet.
From N$1,937 per day
Our latest-generation Hilux, fully equipped for 2 or 4 travellers. Newer model, updated interior, and the most current safety and comfort features in our fleet. Ideal for self-drive travellers who want the freshest vehicle on Namibia's gravel roads, with the space and durability the Hilux is known for.
From N$1,647 per day
The same trusted Hilux platform in a slightly earlier model year, available in 2 or 4 pax configurations. A smarter rate for travellers who want proven 4x4 capability and Advanced Car Hire support standards on every Namibia route without paying for the newest model. Same reliability, same backup, just better value.
From N$1,937 per day
A premium SUV for travellers who prefer tarmac comfort with genuine off-road capability. Seven seats, a refined interior, and a smoother ride across longer distances. The Fortuner is the right choice for families or couples exploring Namibia's national parks, lodges, and scenic routes without a rooftop tent setup.
From N$1,015 per day
Compact, capable, and surprisingly agile on gravel. The Jimny is built for solo travellers or couples who want a nimble 4x4 for Namibia's back roads without the size of a full double cab. Light on fuel, easy to park in town, and tougher off-road than it looks.
From N$3,692 / day. Our flagship expedition camper, with an onboard shower, an onboard toilet and a fresh water tank, comforts no other rooftop camper in its class offers. Dual fuel tanks for extended range, a premium camping setup, and the comfort and capability the Land Cruiser is known for across Southern Africa.
Unlimited kilometres · Live GPS safety tracking · 24/7 roadside support · free airport transfers (office hours) · two spare wheels (one on the Fortuner) · car jack and tools · tyre compressor · tow rope · first aid kit · jumper cables.
Minimum rental 6 days · Cleaning fee N$500 once-off · See the full fleet

From Windhoek
The classic Namibia loop, Windhoek, Etosha, Sossusvlei and Swakopmund, comes to about 1,600 km of driving. The three legs most Windhoek rentals start with:
±435 km to Andersson Gate, the southern entrance: 4.5 to 5.5 hours on tar via Okahandja, Otjiwarongo and Outjo.
±305 km: 4.5 to 5 hours, the last stretch on gravel. Inside the park, the final leg to the vlei is 4x4-only sand, which is why this trip needs a proper 4x4.
±350 km on the B2, all tar: 3.5 to 4 hours, the easiest drive in the country.
