The SUV and Standard 4x4 vehicles are made to work well on both tarred and the gravel roads. SUVs are more comfortable and luxurious, and can be rented without camping gear.

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

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.
We rented (through an travel agency) with Melbic a 4x4 with roof tent for 2,5 weeks end of November 2020. It was an amazing trip where we drove over 4000km.... read more From the fish river canyon in the south, to the west coast and ending at Etosha Park in the north.
The car, camping equipment & service of Melbic (Which is a small family owned business) was perfect. At the car pick up Willem from Melbic explained everything (by showing us) what we needed to know. From how to put up the tent, to how to change a tyre, to how to use the cooking utilities etc. Since we were not familiar with driving a 4x4 or camping with a rooftop tent this was great. He took his time, it was not rushed, which was nice.
During the trip the car worked perfectly and we didn’t encounter any problems. The camping utilities were in perfect order (from the table, chairs, to the matras & sleeping bags - very comfy - to the flashlights and tools). We didn’t miss anything.
Melbic gave us a booklet with information (ie how to change a tyre) and a phone, to be used when there would be a problem. All in all if something technical would have happened in the middle of nowhere we felt very safe that we would have it fixed.
Returning the car after our trip in Windhoek went smoothly.
We definitely recommend this place and when coming back to Namibia we will rent our car with them!
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.
Namibia rocks! - Thankyou Namibia and thankyou Melbic Car Rental. Such a proffesional organisation. Our 4x4 worked perfectly during all of the 2500km in all sorts of terrain.

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.
