The 4×4 off-road vehicles come fully equipped to handle the rugged African terrain. They include camping gear such as one roof tent (or ground tent if preferred), a table, chairs, pillows, blankets, a BBQ grill, cooking pots and pans, kitchen utensils, and more. In simple terms, you've got everything necessary for a comfy camping adventure.

We provide two types of tents: canvas and hard-shell.
Below, you can access detailed information about each type to help you decide which one is ideal for your trip.
Canvas tents are most used by travellers and is the most cost-effective option.
Canvas tents are made from canvas and has a cover that needs to be removed before it is pitched.
To pitch the tent, it must be opened manually by 180 degrees. It does not require much muscle power since the ladder is used as a lever.
The opposite action is used to set up the tent. The side canvas must be tucked in properly to close the tent and to cover it again with the rooftop cover.
It is ideal for 1 or 2 adults per tent.
One or two of these tents can be fitted on a double cab vehicle.
Usually, a 1.2 x metre and a 1.4 metre tent can be fitted on the same vehicle. Length when opened 2.4m

Our one-month road trip through Namibia with a rooftop tent from Melbic Car Rentals was an unforgettable adventure and truly the trip of a lifetime. From the very beginning, Melbic... Read More made the entire experience smooth, professional, and stress-free. The vehicle was in excellent condition, well maintained, and perfectly equipped for Namibia’s long distances and varied terrain. The rooftop tent was comfortable, easy to set up, and ideal for camping in some of the most breathtaking locations we have ever experienced. Having our own car gave us complete freedom to explore at our own pace, from deserts and dunes to national parks and remote landscapes. Throughout the month, the car performed flawlessly on gravel roads, sandy tracks, and long highway drives. Melbic Car Rentals provided clear instructions, helpful advice, and great customer service, which gave us confidence and peace of mind for such a long journey. Everything we needed was thoughtfully included, making life on the road simple and enjoyable. Namibia is a spectacular country, and traveling it by self-drive with a rooftop tent is the perfect way to experience its beauty and vastness. We highly recommend Melbic Car Rentals to anyone planning a road trip in Namibia. Thanks to them, our month-long adventure was comfortable, reliable, and absolutely unforgettable.

Read More bien suivis, l'équipe attentive à satisfaire ses clients, la magie de la Namibie fait le reste. A recommander les yeux fermés.
All was perfect! Good communication, good price and very good car . No fees at the end with full insurance. Pick up in Kasane and drop off at Windoek. I recommand.

Read More we had a small issue with the table mount at the back of the pickup, support was quick to respond and arranged a repair stop along our route.

Avril 2025 ,C'était un grand plaisir de louer chez Melbic, une équipe super professionnelle et toujours disponible pour la moindre question. Les véhicules sont super bien entretenus, quasiment neufs. Nous... Read More avons parcouru 6000 kilomètres sans aucun problème. Nous avons hâte de revenir en Namibie et, bien sûr, de relouer chez Melbic. Merci a toute l'équipe .
Véhicule fiable, recent et bien entretenu. Excellent accueil et explication détaillé pour la prise en charge du véhicule. Transfert aeroport !
Nous avons loué un 4x4 avec 2 tentes de toit lors de nos vacances en Namibie. Nous avons été ravis de notre experience avec Melbic. Loueur très professionnel, nous avons... Read More eu toutes les explications nécessaires pour la prise en main du véhicule ainsi que de tout le matériel présent dans le 4x4. Nous avions loué un Toyota Hilux, il était très récent, à peine 6000km. Nous avons passé 2 semaines incroyables à bord de ce véhicule. Pas le moindre problème, pas même une crevaison malgré toutes les pistes empreintées! Nous avons fait quasiment 3500km avec nos deux enfants de 9 et 11 ans. Nous avons rendu le 4x4 avec beaucoup de regrets et une grande nostalgie. Pas de soucis à la restitution du véhicule non plus. Je ne peux que vous conseiller de passer par Melbic pour louer un véhicule!!
We hebben in oktober een Toyota Hilux met daktent gehuurd bij Melbic. Het was een enorm fijne wagen en voorzien van alles wat je nodig hebt om te kamperen en... Read More rondreizen in Namibië. Er is ruim tijd genomen om de wagen en al het materiaal te overlopen en uit te leggen. Tegen het einde hadden we enkele technische problemen met de wagen, maar er was steeds technische assistentie beschikbaar om ons verder te helpen. Een aanrader voor als je een betrouwbare organisatie zoekt voor je huurwagen!

Notre expérience avec Melbic a été excellente du début à la fin. Nous avions contacté beaucoup d'entreprises de location, melbic ont été les premiers à nous envoyer le devis et force... Read More est de constater qu'ils sont bien moins chers que les autres avec un service d'une très grande qualité. Le transfert aller-retour de l'aéroport est inclus dans le prix de la location, ce qui est un avantage non négligeable. A l'arrivée, tout est très bien expliqué. Nous avons pris des routes difficiles et pourtant nous n'avons jamais eu le moindre problème avec la voiture. Le seul soucis que nous avons rencontré était avec l'alarme que nous avions mal désactivée et les équipes ont été très réactives via WhatsApp pour répondre à nos questions et nous réexpliquer. La tente était facile à installer alors que c'était notre première fois. Le service de nettoyage de la voiture coûte seulement 350N$ ce que nous avons trouvé très pratique et abordable. Toute l'équipe est très professionnelle et agréable, nous avons même eu la bonne surprise d'être accompagnés (gratuitement) en centre ville en voiture puisque nous avions rendu notre véhicule tôt, ce qui nous a permis de profiter confortablement de notre dernière journée en Namibie. Un grand merci à toute l'équipe ! Rendre les clés du véhicule a été un petit pincement au cœur puisque ça a vraiment été notre maison namibienne pendant ce séjour.
Expérience parfaite, rien à redire, de l'envoi du devis jusqu'au rendu des clefs. L'équipe sur place est professionnelle, réactive et gentille au possible. Nous n'avons eu aucun pépin avec la Toyota... Read More Hilux, parfaitement équipée tant pour la route que le désert et les routes ensablées. Le transfert depuis et vers l'aéroport est un gros plus, inclus dans le prix plus que raisonnable par rapport aux autres compagnies. Très fiable, je recommande à 100% !
We were a group of 4 and rented a Toyota Hilux 2.8 with two rooftop tents. We did a 4.500 km trip through Namibia and everything was perfect! The car... Read More and tires were in excellent condition and therefore very reliable. The whole rental process (from the first contact via mail to the car handover) was smooth and professional, with very friendly melbic staff. We can highly recommend this service and would definitely book again!
Excellent car and equipments, high professionality. No possibility to try pick up service in case of car breakdown (luckily)
