Just cruising - Excellent service and very nice, professional crew! Car in mint shape and very reliable. I can recommend this company for car hire in Namibia.
Best Service Ever! If you need a fully kitted 4X4 camper vehicle, Melbic is amazing! - Melbic Car Rentals, Tours & Transfers in Namibia is the best car rental agency we've every dealt with. From the moment we requested our 4X4 vehicle, to the moment we... read more returned it 2 weeks later, everything was extremely professional and smooth. Upon arriving to Windhoek airport Clinton from Melbic was waiting for us with a sign. He drove us to Melbic's office where we were greeted by Bianca. Bianca and Clinton are amazing! Very thorough when showing us how to use our 4X4 ie. changing tires, setting up the tent, driving in 4X4 mode, etc. It all seemed so overwhelming but their detailed lesson was much appreciated. Ensure you give yourself at least an hour to go over everything because there is a lot to cover. All of their vehicles are in great condition. Tires were new (we didn't have one flat tire and traveled over 2,500km), camping gear clean and well organized in a kit. They give you everything you'll need, including a refrigerated cooler!
Traveling Namibia by 4X4 is the only way to experience this beautiful country. Melbic was amazing and we can't thank them enough for the excellent service.
Excellent car! Highly recommend Melbic car hire! - Loueurs très professionnels, véhicules très bien équipés et en très bon états. Les pneus, très utiles sur les pistes Namibiennes (2/3 à 3/4 des routes utilisées) étaient vraiment hauts de... read more gamme. Nous n'avons pas eu de crevaison (et avions quand même 2 roues de secours fournies au cas où).
Les explications étaient claires lors du briefing et la restitution du véhicule s'est faite rapidement et sans soucis.
Melbic est venu nous récupérer à l'aéroport et nous a déposé lors de notre départ, service impeccable.
Nous recommandons tout particulièrement Melbic pour la qualité des voitures, le service fourni et pour le prix très compétitif (moins cher que les grandes enseignes connues de location).
Most probably the best rental cars in Namibia - Had an awesome experience with Melbic rentals during our 10 days trip to Namibia in December. Connected with them around 5 months before and got a decent pricing with discount.... read more Although their prices are competitive, they gain extra advantage on their competitors through their excellent communication and top noth quality of cars. 10 days before our trip, we got an updated invoice with additional discount as their system had shown some additional discount available. If they wanted to, they could have kept the old pricing, but this speaks a lot about their honesty and integrity. The pick up from airport was smooth and hassle free. Our vehicle was ready, polished and washed in absolute perfection, almost looking like a brand new Hilux. The car was just 37k kms done and was spotless. The staff was really helpful and explained the whole working of the car in detail including how to change tyres, how to charge the car in case of failed battery, how to pull in case get stuck etc. The whole process including signing the agreement and inspecting the car roughtly took around 30-45 mins. The driving was pretty awesome and didnt had an issue with the car on any day, including no punctures. We heard from fellow travellers that 1 or 2 punctures are just mandatory when driving in Namibia but thankfully the condition of the tyres was as good as new, so had no trouble. AC worked really well as well as the fridge. Kept our drinks chilled for the entire trip. The drop off was equally well managed and just took 5 mins after wwhich they dropeed us to our destination. If you are looking for a reliable renter with excellent cars, look no further.
Very good car hire company - I can definitely recommend Melbic car Hire - we rented fully equipped Hilux for 2 weeks, the car & equipment were in a perfect condition and staff helpful and professional.
Best 4x4 camping experience EVER! Very professional staff! - Big thanks to Melbic for making our 11 day 4.5k trip as smooth as possible!
Everything was top class (way better than any other car rental company... read more we have dealt with) and wow was our car looking great when we picked it up! I almost did not want to drive it because I was so scared I would put a dent or dust it up bad. Levine was very clear and concise with the Dos and Don'ts with the rental car and we did try to adhere to all of it including the speeding limit (good they have a beeper whenever you go over the limit or else I'd be slapped with many speeding tickets). All the camping equipment was nice and well kept - there's no other way to explore Namibia than with a camping 4x4!
Do prepared to get messy with this car as Namibian roads are allllll dust - but the photogenic kind of dust.
It was an unforgettable trip and we did not want to leave! We will be back but in the meantime keep being the awesome car rental company that you are! Highly recommended!
Great service! - We easily traveled over 2,200 kilometers in Namibia, because we were equipped with the right vehicle - Toyota Hillux and good equipment provided by the rent-a-car company MELBIC from Windhoek.... read more We decided on a full package (from a refrigerator, to an additional fuel tank, water, satellite phone, help in the event of an accident...) because of the safari trip in Etosha, where we explored the wonderful colors of the animal world in their environment and then set out on otherwise well-maintained gravel roads through the Kalahari and Namib deserts to the west coast of Namibia.
We can praise the exceptional helpfulness and friendliness of the staff, everything was prepared as we previously agreed via e-mails, and the price for renting a fully equipped vehicle was also affordable. Thank you MELBIC for making it possible to travel carefree thrue a beautiful Namibia. See you again!

Bien qu'étant 4 adultes et 1 adolescente, nous n'avons pas ressenti d'inconfort tout au long de notre parcours (3968 kms).

Alida the owner welcomed us when we picked up the truck and we checked together all the equipment to make sure everything is fine and got all the explanation to use it. Everything is well organised.
Regarding the truck, we were lucky enough to have an almost brand new Hilux with only 10K on the counter (but all the trucks seem recent and in very good condition). The truck was impeccable and as clean as when it gets out of the dealer.
All the camping equipment was fine, you have everything you need and it is equipped with a second battery for the fridge which is nice to have when you don't have access to electricity on your campsite.
The tires on the truck seemed almost new and with big crampons. We compared with many other rented trucks from other companies and we had by far the best tires. We didn't get any flat and never had to deflate/inflate tires before driving in the sand (Savuti, Sossuvlei, etc).
All in all, we had a wonderful experience with Melbic. We didn't have any suprise charge when we returned the car. We would recommend 100% and would book again with them for sure.
Very professional and reliable - Organisation au top (prise en main, démonstration utilisation matériel, mise à disposition téléphone,etc), personnel super sympha (merci Bianca !!), voiture et materiel en super état. Rien a redire, n'hésitez pas,... read more c'est un professionel fiable.
Perfect organisation (show how to use equipment, local phone to reach out in case of trouble, etc). The employees are very kind (thanks again to Bianca !!), car and equipment very new, clean and complete. I can only say that you should't hesitate to choose this Melbic team. They are very professional and reliable.
