Rental agreement and Terms and Conditions

Feel free to view the rental agreement and a summary of our terms and conditions in advance for further details.

Restricted areas in Namibia

Some areas may not be entered with our rental cars and are excluded from insurance coverage and recoveries. This is because the risk of damage or total loss is too great. Furthermore, these areas are not accessible by a regular towing service. Here are a few examples:

Khaudumpark at own risk

do not drive on Van Zyls pass in the Kaokoveld

strictly no driving on dunes or beaches

no driving to Sandwich Habour

See rental agreement for further details.

Travelling with children

Namibia is a wonderful destination for your family holiday! The ever-changing landscape and diverse wildlife is a real joy for young and old alike and will bring out a sense of discovery and adventure even in the biggest couch potato.
