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!
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.
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 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!

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 !!!
Wir hatten für vier Wochen ein Fahrzeug (Hilux 4x4) von Melbic. Das Auto war sehr sauber und gut ausgerüstet sowie allgemein in einem hervorragenden und fast neuen Zustand. Bianca hat... read more uns sehr gut instruiert. Für Rückfragen oder falls Probleme auftreten hat uns die Firma ein Handy mitgegeben und einen 24/7 Service. Zum Glück hatten wir keine Vorfälle und auch keine Pannen. Das Auto hat über 5000 Km seinen Dienst sehr zuverlässig geleistet.
Very professional and reliable - Organisation au top (prise en main, démonstration utilisation matériel, mise à disposition téléphone,etc), personnel super sympha (merci Bianca !!), voiture et materiel en super état. Rien a redire, n'hésitez pas,... read more c'est un professionel fiable.
Perfect organisation (show how to use equipment, local phone to reach out in case of trouble, etc). The employees are very kind (thanks again to Bianca !!), car and equipment very new, clean and complete. I can only say that you should't hesitate to choose this Melbic team. They are very professional and reliable.

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.
