Caprivi Car Hire Namibia

Caprivi Car Hire is one of the most well-established 4x4 car hire companies in Namibia. Founded in 1996 and family-owned to this day, the company has grown from a small operation into one of the country's most respected rental providers, with a fleet of 70 vehicles and nearly three decades of experience serving self-drive travellers from around the world.

Based in Windhoek's Southern Industrial area on Bessemer Street, Caprivi operates its own in-house workshop — a critical advantage that ensures every vehicle is maintained, inspected, and prepared by the same team that has been looking after the fleet for years. This vertical integration, from maintenance to rental to roadside support, gives Caprivi a level of operational control that few competitors can match.

A Toyota Fleet Built for Namibia

Caprivi's fleet is centred on the vehicle that Namibia's roads demand: the Toyota Hilux Double Cab 4x4. The fleet spans both budget-friendly older models for cost-conscious travellers and the latest 2024 model-year Hilux GD-6 for those who want the newest technology and comfort. Toyota Fortuner SUVs are also available for travellers who prefer lodge-to-lodge driving without camping equipment.

Camping-equipped Hilux vehicles come with roof tents (one for 2-person trips, two for groups of 4), cool boxes, and all the gear needed for self-sufficient camping. Whether you're planning a two-week classic Namibia circuit or a bush camping expedition into the Kaokoveld, Caprivi has a vehicle configuration that fits.

Growth Through Acquisition

Caprivi's success over nearly three decades allowed the company to acquire Kessler Car Hire, further expanding its fleet and service capacity. That kind of organic, acquisition-driven growth speaks to the company's financial stability and market reputation — important reassurance for travellers entrusting their Namibia trip to a rental provider.

Professional Service Since 1996

Caprivi has been delivering professional and friendly customer service for nearly 30 years. Their offering includes a 24-hour breakdown service across Namibia, comprehensive vehicle insurance with multiple cover options, and the in-house workshop that keeps every vehicle in perfect condition. Cross-border permits are available for Botswana and South Africa, with border crossing fees applied as needed.
