Our best recommendation is for Advancedcarhire.
Their service was perfect. We received an amazing 2019 Toyota 4x4 totally equipped with great quality camping equipment.
They were available 24/7 and they helped as with our lost luggage which really helped us with our honeymoon trip in Namibia.
It's by far the best car rental agency we worked with in our traveling.
Thanks a lot for your help and service!!!

Just wanted to start by saying the trip around Namibia has to been one of the best I’ve done, and Advanced Car Hire was certainly was one of those reasons!
We landed at the airport in the evening and they were there to take us to our accommodation, then also to pick us up the next day to take us to the car. They then took us very thoroughly through the car, showing us everything we needed to know and making sure it was all in top condition. After we were all happy we got on our way.
The trip itself went perfectly, we had hired a 2016/2017 model (not their newest but still everything you could need) and it performed perfectly with not a single fault or complaint for the +3000km we drove it for, there was tons of space (would recommend the double cab even for 2 people) and she handled all the road types comfortably!
The drop off was super as well, a smooth process the whole time with super friendly staff who are happy to help with anything they can. I wouldn’t hesitate recommending them to anyone and certainly would hire from them again if I have another chance to explore Namibia more.
Thank you very much!!

Every aspect of our rental went smoothly. One of the main benefits of using this agency is that they offer a variety of new and used vehicles; thus, we were able to save a bit of money by renting an older, yet still reliable, vehicle. We will definitely use this business again.

Very supportive and flexible team. Always reachable and ready to help with any issue before, during, and even after rental. We got unexpected present on check-in - a free fridge for 2 weeks! During our trip we got technical support and in 2 months received our expenses back. Good overall service, airport pick up and drop off.
Lots of useful information on the web-site.
The cars are in a really good technical condition (especially for that tough roads), pretty good equipped. It was a pleasure to live in the car 17 days and drove it about 4500 km!
I'd recommend!

Amazing experience with Advanced car:
1. Great communication
2. The car behaved amazing
3. Check in a drop off vas good
3. Equipment was in good state
4. They provided everything we needed for camping
5. We paid in advanced for a 3 weeks trip in 2020 which was cancelled because of Covid. They kept the same price and refunded the extra money as we did a 2 weeks trip in 2022.
I really really recommend to hire the car with them if you are traveling to Namibia.

Since 15 years I rent cars from ACH and never encountered any difficulties. The pick up and drop off at the airport is timely. The cars are in good service condition, dependent on the fabrication year and respective mileage. The renters are introduced decently to the cars. Can only be recommended.

We used Advanced 4x4 Car Hire for an 8 night road trip though many parts of Namibia, and LOVED renting from them! They were super easy to chat with on WhatsApp if/when ANYTHING went wrong, and always responded with an answer or solution super quickly. We felt like we hit the jackpot finding this amazing service :)

We had a 2015 manual vehicle and I would never rent it again. 250,000 plus Kms and it broke down 3 times. We had to jump start 2 times and push start once.
Never again!

Hi Cherry,
I used Advanced 4x4 in May 2018 & I only recall seeing a good variety of 4x4 trucks, 2 or 4-door.
Enjoy,
