Customer reviews
Real customers sharing genuine experiences.
Go Arid is still a young company, but in our experience it is super professional and reliable. We "stumbled across" it in February and made an enquiry because their offer was simply the best.
Tim responded immediately and personally and can also be reached by mobile phone at any time. Every question, no matter how small, was answered extremely quickly.
Our car was perfectly equipped (Toyota Hilux with roof tent), a dream.
Next time again!!!
Team Arid carried out the necessary research regarding availability and prices and made alternative suggestions quickly and very patiently.
As a result, we received a fantastic vehicle from AfriCar with a roof tent at a fair price, which made our adventure possible. After preparation by GoArid, transfers, pick-up and return of the vehicle were also completely problem-free.
Thank you for this and we will definitely be using your services again on our next trip to Namibia!
6 out of 5 stars!
