Excellent Company! - This company was fantastic from pickup to drop-off. The truck was like new, easy to drive, no need to ever deflate the tires when driving on sand since the tires... read more do this on their own.
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.

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).

Ottima compagnia di noleggio, la migliore dei nostri 4 tour in Namibia. La nostra Toyota Hilux 4x4 era nuova e con pneumatici perfetti. Servizio impeccabile sia per trasferimenti ed assistenza lungo i nostri 4.500 km di tour Namibiano. Un poco più cara della concorrenza ma la qualità del servizio giustifica questa piccola differenza.
Consigliato !!!
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!
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.
