About AfriCar Car Hire
AfriCar Car Hire is one of Namibia's most experienced self-drive rental specialists, with over 20 years of combined expertise serving independent travellers, safari enthusiasts, and travel agents worldwide. Owner-managed since 2017, AfriCar is run by a German-Namibian team of passionate off-road and travel experts who live and breathe the destinations their customers explore.
Based in Windhoek's Northern Industrial Area, AfriCar operates from multiple depots across Namibia — including Walvis Bay on the Atlantic coast, Okavango/Rundu in the northeast, and the Zambezi Region — as well as a Cape Town outpost for travellers combining a Namibia and South Africa itinerary. That multi-depot network means flexible one-way options are genuinely possible.
A Toyota Fleet for Every Namibia Itinerary
AfriCar's fleet is built around the Toyota DNA — the brand proven on Africa's most demanding roads. Their line-up spans the rugged Toyota Hilux Double Cab 4x4 in standard and camping-equipped versions, the Toyota Land Cruiser 4.0 V6 (a favourite among experienced off-road travellers), the premium Toyota Land Cruiser 300 GX-R for maximum comfort and capability, and the nine-seater Toyota XL Stretch Cruiser with panorama roof for larger groups or overland-style expeditions.
What sets AfriCar's camping vehicles apart is the equipment quality: every camping rental ships with an AluCab Gen3 rooftop tent and a 12V ENGEL fridge/freezer — two of the most respected names in African overlanding. Add a full camping kit, solar panel, and integrated kitchen on select models, and you have a self-contained mobile base for any Namibia adventure.
What Every AfriCar Rental Includes
AfriCar believes in transparent pricing with no nasty surprises. Every rental — regardless of vehicle class — includes unlimited mileage, two spare tyres (not one), free airport transfers both ways, a second driver at no extra charge, 24/7 roadside assistance, and cross-border permits for Botswana and South Africa already included. Road maps and a thorough handover briefing are standard. That combination of inclusions is among the most comprehensive in the Namibia market.
German-Namibian Expertise at Your Service
AfriCar's bilingual German-Namibian team is a genuine advantage for German-speaking travellers planning a self-drive through Namibia — the world's second most sparsely populated country, where distances are vast and route planning really matters. From advising on the best timing for the Etosha pan to recommending wild camping spots in the Kaokoveld, AfriCar's team brings local depth that no online booking platform can replicate. Combined with goArid's easy comparison and booking tools, you get the best of both worlds.

The AfriCar Fleet
AfriCar operates a premium Toyota line-up: the battle-tested Hilux Double Cab 4x4, the legendary Land Cruiser 4.0 V6, the flagship Land Cruiser 300 GX-R, and the nine-seater XL Stretch Cruiser for groups. All vehicles are available in standard or full camping configuration — with AluCab tents and ENGEL fridges on camping builds. Every vehicle is 2024–2025 model year, comprehensively maintained, and handed over with two spare tyres as standard.
Included Services
What's Included in Every AfriCar Rental
AfriCar's standard inclusions go further than most Namibia rental companies. Here's exactly what's in the vehicle when you collect it.
Two spare tyres
Not one — two. In Namibia's remote gravel regions, a second spare can be the difference between an inconvenience and a trip-ending situation.
Unlimited mileage
Drive as far as you want, from Lüderitz to the Kaokoveld and back, without worrying about per-kilometre charges.
Free airport transfers (both ways)
Complimentary pickup and drop-off at Windhoek's Hosea Kutako International Airport — no taxi needed on arrival or departure day.
2nd driver included
Add a second driver at zero extra cost. Sharing the driving on long Namibia stretches is strongly recommended.
The AfriCar Camping Experience
When AfriCar says "fully equipped for camping", they mean it. Their camping vehicles don't come with a basic tent strapped to the roof — they ship with an AluCab Generation 3 rooftop tent, one of the most popular and best-built tents in Southern African overlanding, and a 12V ENGEL fridge/freezer, the gold standard for bush refrigeration.
Select models add solar panels, integrated kitchen drawers, WiFi connectivity, and generous storage configurations designed for multi-week self-drive expeditions. Whether you're planning two weeks in the Namibian hinterland or a 35-day overland run from Windhoek to Cape Town, AfriCar's camping setups have been used and trusted by travellers doing exactly that.
The handover includes a full demonstration of tent deployment, fridge operation, and all equipment. Most customers are set up and driving out the gate within 90 minutes of arrival.
