What to do and see in Windhoek, Khomas Region: The Best Gear Rentals

July 16, 2021 Leonarda Pillsbury

Many visitors to Namibia start their adventure in Windhoek, the capital and largest city of this South African country. Nama, Herero, German, Afrikaans, and British cultures have influenced the growth and development of Windhoek. Visit the statue of Hosea Kutako, a nationalist hero, in the gardens surrounding the Tintenpalast, the seat of the Namibian legislature, or chow down on ostrich kebab or zebra steak at Joe’s Beerhouse before leaving on a safari into the Namibian wilderness.

Africa 4x4 Rentals

Reviewed By yulneverroamalone - Montreal, Canada

To say we thoroughly enjoyed spending a week driving a vehicle from Africa 4x4 Rentals would be a tremendous understatement! We traveled to Namibia just recently (January 2020) and would not have traveled the country any other way! For starters, we can't stress enough how we absolutely recommend renting a 4x4 if you're going to be exploring Namibia. Many of Namibia's roads aren't paved, and you don't want to end up in a sticky situation! The one thing you can't predict when renting from a company is the service and helpfulness of the staff, and Africa 4x4 Rentals delivered like never before! From the moment we got there, the staff was friendly, helpful and insightful. They explained everything we needed to know about the truck and driving Namibia's rugged terrain. The truck spoke for itself as it was equipped with everything you could need; fridge, pop-up tent with a comfortable mattress, 2 spare tires, jumper cables, a comfortable interior cabin and air conditioning just to name a few. All in all, if Namibia was on your bucket list, make it happen, but do not do so without renting a truck from Africa 4x4 Rentals, they seriously will not disappoint! Would highly recommend and would definitely rent from them again!

Safari Car Rental

Reviewed By 38hayleyf - Johannesburg, South Africa

Safari Car Rental is the way to go if you’re planning to hire a 4X4. They aren’t necessarily the cheapest BUT their vehicles are in pristine condition (virtually new) and the added extras / bonuses (table, camping chairs, gps, cooler box and camping fridge) we’re greatly appreciated. Vincent and his team were friendly, professional and gave some wonderful advice and tips on routes to take etc. Their discreet branding is also great (a simple small sticker on the rear) compared to some companies that had the entire vehicle plastered in branding. We will most definitely use this company again when we’re next in Namibia.

We highly recommend Advanced Car Hire! Overall, it was a great experience, from the booking, to collection, to drop off. The staff are always very responsive and friendly. When we arrived in Windhoek from RSA, a driver from the company picked us up from the airport and took us to the car hire depo. Mickey, the driver, was animated and engaging during the car ride. We rented a Toyota Hilux 4x4 Double Cab (2014 model) which was very affordable and in decent condition. It was an old model, so didn't have any 'bells and whistles', but it got us around Namibia safely and comfortably. We were very happy with the vehicle! The vehicle came with a complementary fridge/ freezer in the back, which we used extensively. The collection process was quick, efficient and professional. The agent sat with us and took us through the contract in detail. We appreciated the transparency which is usually amiss with the major car rental companies. During our 12 day trip, we encountered two small issues: a broken battery pole (so the car couldn't start) and a snapped canopy latch (likely from the bumpy gravel roads). The Advanced Car Hire team gave us a 24hr Whatsapp line to contact them on, which we did, and the issues were tended to immediately and a mechanic was with us within 30 mins. Thank you for the great service, Advanced Car Hire!

Savanna Car Hire

Reviewed By sarai250 - Helsinki, Finland

We hired a car here for a very short notice. Everything went really smoothly still and we were very happy with the car. It had all the amenities we needed and even more. One day we got a breakage of the back holster for spare wheel. Luckily, they have many collaborators around Namibia and we found one in Okaukuejo camp Etosha. The man quickly welded the holster just there right at the camp and we were good to go again. We would recommend this company warmly and would use them again – actually we have plans for a longer trip and would surely request a quote from Savanna.
