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

I would definitely recommend Melbic car rental! The Toyota Hilux was excellent for our journey around Namibia and Botswana. The staff is extremely friendly and very helpful. Huge shoutout to... Read More Lorenzo he was very kind!
Ottimo servizio di noleggio! Macchina impeccabile,resa eccellente. Lo staff cortese e preciso nella spiegazione,sempre disponibile. Consigliatissimo!
Group of friends and first time in Namibia(and in Africa) and it was the best decision to rent our fully equipped 4x4 with Melbic. The rental process was so smooth... Read More and easy. To be honest, I was probably annoying because I had so many questions but Melbic team was so patient and professional answering all my queries. When we got there, staff were so polite and took time to orient us with the vehicle. Since we’re first timers, we didnt know that locks are such common issues/breakages that people deal with their vehicles due to rough roads. I was sweating and stressing. But communicating with Melbic team was sweat free and the issue was fixed within an hour by going to the nearest service station that they have connections with. Thankfully, that was the only issue we had. ☺️ Overall, we had an amazing and beautiful time in Namibia and Melbic team contributed big time in making it as smooth as possible! Definitely coming back to Namibia and would rent vehicle with Melbic again. Shout out to Loup, Bianca, Regan, and Lorenzo for assisting us! To add, The vehicle is in excellent condition! - you can tell that Melbic is very serious about client’s safety.
We rented a 4x4 Toyota Hillux with tent on the roof and we had no problem during our 15-day roadtrip through Namibia. No puncture, our tires were 👌🏻(however we recommend... Read More taking the windscreen and tires insurance anyway). Check-in thorough and fast check-out. No “tourist trap”. The camping equipment was complete and the tent was comfortable. We felt secured during the whole trip.
Notre agence locale avait fait le choix de Melbic pour louer le 4x4 qui nous a permis de faire notre voyage en Namibie et Botswana. Ils ont été au top!! L'accueil et... Read More la prise en main du véhicule ont été très professionnels. On nous a tout expliqué de A à Z pour que nous n'ayons aucun souci en route. Le 4x4 était comme neuf intérieur et extérieur, les pneus neufs. La canopée super bien équipée pour notre groupe de 5 personnes. Comme nous étions inquiets des nuits froides, ils avaient même prévus plus de duvets et de plaids bien chauds (le tout sentant bon le propre!!) Je recommande vivement ce loueur pour vos roadtrips!
Rented a 4x4 with a roof tent and very happy with the whole experience. Very responsive via mail and whatsapp in advance. Airport or hotel pickup and drop off included.... Read More Good instructions on how to handle the car and camping equipment. Drop off was smooth, check for any new damages was reasonable, smaller scratches were not charged. GPS and satelitephone available at an extra charge.
Tres bonne experience dans notre hilux avec tente sur le toit. Tres bon accueil, des explications tres claires (en francais !) et aucun souci mécanique! Tout était... Read More parfait
Nous avons loué un Toyota Hilux avec une hard shell roof top tent et nous avons traversé toute la Namibie sur plus de 3 semaines. Le véhicule et le matériel étaient... Read More en très bon état. Melbic a toujours répondu présent lorsque nous avons rencontré des petits problèmes ( pneu crevé, serrure défectueuse) et nous avons été rapidement dépannés. Je recommande cette société.
Great experience with them, very good services with cars in very good conditions.
Simply perfect. The car was exceptionally well-equipped for our adventure, featuring numerous modifications for off-roading and camping. It was in pristine condition with very low mileage, looking and running flawlessly... Read More inside and out. I have to say, I fell in love with the Toyota Hilux we rented; it handles smoothly on both paved and unpaved roads, is easy to drive, and provides a great sense of safety. The rental process was seamless: we received clear instructions on how to operate the vehicle and the camping gear, and the return process was quick and effortless. Overall, a perfect experience.
Everything was perfect ! From the start to the end! Well equiped car, perfect for namibia's roads, the team is also very responsive via whatts app when you need help ! Thank... Read More you guys ! 🙏🏻🙏🏻
We often travel around Europe. We experience stress when renting a car, because when filling out the documents we are pressured to buy a lot of additional insurance, and when... Read More returning the car we are accused of damaging it. This happens in Italy, Spain. We say THANK YOU to MELBIC. Toyota is new, no problems. The start with Lu was smooth, we received excellent instructions, and when returning Dirk calmly, professionally checked and we said goodbye nicely. Arijus and Lina. Lithuania.
Great service, highly recommend
Nous avons loué un Toyota Hilux chez Melbic (via Damanara) pour notre road trip de 12 jours en famille, et tout a été absolument parfait ! Le personnel sur place... Read More est excellent et très accueillant. Lors de la prise en charge, la présentation du véhicule et de l'équipement a été d'une grande clarté : ils ont pris le temps de bien nous expliquer comment rouler avec le 4x4, comment utiliser les tentes de toit et quoi faire en cas de problème. On sent immédiatement que les voitures sont préparées minutieusement. Pendant le séjour, nous avons rencontré un tout petit souci avec le frigo (un fusible qui avait sauté). L'agence s'est montrée extrêmement efficace et réactive : dès le lendemain, nous avons pu nous arrêter dans un garage partenaire et la réparation a été effectuée très rapidement, sans nous faire perdre de temps. Un service irréprochable et un grand professionnalisme. Je recommande l'agence Melbic sans aucun problème !
We rented a car with Melbic for 28 days and our experience was simply excellent. We took a long road trip through Namibia and also visited Botswana, and the vehicle... Read More gave us absolutely zero problems during the entire journey. We did not even have a single flat tire. We used the rooftop tent and the full camping equipment every day and the quality was really good and reliable. Besides the car being fantastic, the customer service is outstanding. We want to leave a very special thanks to Bianca, who was incredibly helpful and kind to us. We highly recommend Melbic to anyone planning this kind of adventure. We definitely intend to return to Namibia in the future and we will hire their services once again.
We had an excellent experience with Melbic Car Rentals. The team was professional, responsive, and always clear in their communication from the booking process to the vehicle return. The Hilux with... Read More the rooftop tent was in great condition and perfectly equipped for our Namibian road trip. We would definitely rent from Melbic again and highly recommend them to anyone planning to explore Namibia.
Nuestra experiencia con Melbic ha sido muy buena. Hemos alquilado un Toyota Hilux con dos tiendas de techo y todo se veía nuevo y en buen estado. Hemos hecho más... Read More de 5.000 km y no hemos tenido ningún problema. El trato del personal muy bueno también. Nos explicaron todo en detalle y nos recogieron y llevaron al aeropuerto. Así que no puedo más que recomendar está empresa.
Muy recomendable. Desde el momento en el que pedimos presupuestos la comunicación hasta el final del viaje la comunicación fue perfecta. Realizando incluso un cambio en el vehículo (de manual... Read More a automático) pocos días antes de iniciar el viaje. Alquilamos Toyota Hilux que se encontraba en perfecto estado y no dio ningún problema. Tuvimos un pequeño percance al final del viaje con la luna delantera, cuando un vehículo que circulaba en el carril contrario nos lanzo una piedra y rompió la luna, pero con el seguro que cogimos al firmar el contrato nos desentendimos totalmente. Estuvieron muy atentos en los traslados al aeropuerto, y todos los extras que cogimos cumplieron las expectativas. El 4x4 venía equipado com lo necesario para salir de cualquier imprevisto en los complicadas carreteras, y también incluía dos ruedas de repuesto que por suerte no tuvimos que utilizarlas. Nuestra nota 10/10.
Très bonne expérience avec Melbic ! Très bonne réactivité avant de réserver, explications claires durant la récupération de la voiture et service client de qualité durant la location. Pas de... Read More souci au moment de rendre le véhicule, nous recommandons.
Fantastic service, virtually new car, I would not choose anybody else.
