Car Hire in Namibia

If you're traveling with pets, confirm the rental company's pet policy before booking. Some companies allow pets but may have specific fees or restrictions, so it’s best to clarify in advance.

Always keep your rental agreement, identification, and insurance information easily accessible during your rental period. This can help resolve any issues quickly.

Before leaving the rental location, inspect the car for any existing damage and ensure it’s documented. Take photos if necessary to avoid disputes when returning the vehicle.

Familiarize yourself with local traffic patterns, peak hours, and driving etiquette to navigate more safely.

Most rental companies will require a credit card for the deposit, which is typically frozen in your account. Make sure to inquire about the specific deposit amount and the policy for releasing the freeze.

Ensure that you have a valid driving licence with at least one year of driving experience. If you are a foreign driver travelling to Namibia, an international driving permit may be required. Remember, hire rates can be higher for drivers under 25 or over 70

Some rentals may have mileage caps. Check the details to avoid extra fees if you exceed limits.

If you plan to share driving, check if the rental company allows a second driver and whether there are additional fees. Some companies offer free second driver options under certain conditions.
