Your partner for rental cars in Namibia and beyond
WELCOME TOUR OPERATORS TO KALAHARI CAR HIRE
With heart and soul
Born and raised in Namibia, we are lucky enough to call it our home and have explored southern Africa with our families. We grew up with what others could only dream about: incredibly vast landscapes, fascinating wildlife, breathtakingly starry skies and diverse people.
Namibia is not just a destination, but a place where you can find perspective and balance in a fast-paced world. We would like to share Namibia, as we know and love it, with you and bring it closer to your customers.
A car hire you can rely on
Every customer and trip is unique and vacation time is a precious commodity. That’s why we take care of each individual with great dedication. Things like a personal pick-up service instead of a group shuttle or a unique car handover with driving instructions from professionals comes standard with us. We are also happy to cater for special requests, be it a car handover at a lodge instead of in Windhoek so that the rest of the travellers can already relax after the long flight, or going grocery shopping in advance so that clients can be on their way as soon as possible.
We take pride in being your clients’ “go-to-guy” or “friend in a foreign country” – we are available around the clock, not only for questions relating to the rental car, but are here to support and advise also in general matters, like which dentist is still open or where to get the best steak in town.

Just in case..
Nobody likes awkward surprises. Customers can reduce the excess to N$ 0, provided the rental duration is at least 11 days, the drivers are over 25 years old and are not travelling to Botswana.
Why don’t we offer Zero Excess Waiver in Botswana? The country is absolutely beautiful, but the routes within and around Botswana’s national parks can be particularly challenging. To ensure that this is not taken lightly and to protect customers from themselves, the renter always bears a certain residual risk in Botswana, as the excess can only be reduced to a minimum of N$ 20,000 (roughly € 1,000). Our clients understand this and have travelled through Botswana happily and without incident.
Please note that, like all other car hire companies in Namibia, we do not offer fully comprehensive insurance cover. There is only an option to reduce the excess. For example damages caused by gross negligence (such as speeding or drunk driving) are excluded from the insurance.
