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

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.
best car renting company in Namibia - The best car renting company in Windhoek! Super reliable, friendly, fantastic car all equipped including a beautiful and large roof tent. Travelling with Melbic's car is the guarantee of... read more a safe and comfortable road trip! Can't wait to get back to them for a new trip in beautiful Namibia.
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.
Excellent service; very responsive - I highly recommend Melbic Car Hire. We rented from them and they were great.
We experienced a broken windscreen (rock thrown up by vehicle going the other way... read more on a gravel road). We messaged them via WhatsApp and within an hour we had a plan for replacement next morning! Everything went smoothly - their designated repairer collected and returned the vehicle on time and we were back on the road.
We also experienced an unexpected issue when one of the rear cabin locks became seized (due to dusty roads). They were able to organise someone to meet at our next destination and resolve it for us.
I have no experience with other Namibian 4x4 rental companies but I can vouch for Melbic being quick to respond to initial and subsequent emails before we travelled to Namibia, AND they were easy to deal with in person, AND most importantly they were responsive and helpful when we had any issue during our rental.
I would rent from them again without hesitation.

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!
One week around South Namibia - Melbic is highly recommended! Our experience was super. They have been really professional in explaining everything and luckily we didn’t have any problems during our road trip!
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!
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.

Uitstekend - Uitstekende service en kwaliteit auto + equipment. Communicatie verliep erg soepel en de organisatie denkt met je mee.

My husband unfortunately scraped up the side of the truck a few days in which caused us a lot of stress but Melbic was great when we returned it. They immediately got it in for a repair estimate while we waited at the office and were so unbelievably helpful and patient sending and resending me paperwork for our insurance company.
I'd most definitely rent from them again. Very friendly and helpful company with very nice vehicles.
