We rented (through an travel agency) with Melbic a 4x4 with roof tent for 2,5 weeks end of November 2020. It was an amazing trip where we drove over 4000km. From the fish river canyon in the south, to the west coast and ending at Etosha Park in the north.

The car, camping equipment & service of Melbic (Which is a small family owned business) was perfect. At the car pick up Willem from Melbic explained everything (by showing us) what we needed to know. From how to put up the tent, to how to change a tyre, to how to use the cooking utilities etc. Since we were not familiar with driving a 4x4 or camping with a rooftop tent this was great. He took his time, it was not rushed, which was nice.
During the trip the car worked perfectly and we didn’t encounter any problems. The camping utilities were in perfect order (from the table, chairs, to the matras & sleeping bags - very comfy - to the flashlights and tools). We didn’t miss anything.
Melbic gave us a booklet with information (ie how to change a tyre) and a phone, to be used when there would be a problem. All in all if something technical would have happened in the middle of nowhere we felt very safe that we would have it fixed.
Returning the car after our trip in Windhoek went smoothly.

We definitely recommend this place and when coming back to Namibia we will rent our car with them!

Melbic Car Rentals, Tours & Transfers in Namibia is the best car rental agency we've every dealt with. From the moment we requested our 4X4 vehicle, to the moment we returned it 2 weeks later, everything was extremely professional and smooth. Upon arriving to Windhoek airport Clinton from Melbic was waiting for us with a sign. He drove us to Melbic's office where we were greeted by Bianca. Bianca and Clinton are amazing! Very thorough when showing us how to use our 4X4 ie. changing tires, setting up the tent, driving in 4X4 mode, etc. It all seemed so overwhelming but their detailed lesson was much appreciated. Ensure you give yourself at least an hour to go over everything because there is a lot to cover. All of their vehicles are in great condition. Tires were new (we didn't have one flat tire and traveled over 2,500km), camping gear clean and well organized in a kit. They give you everything you'll need, including a refrigerated cooler!

Traveling Namibia by 4X4 is the only way to experience this beautiful country. Melbic was amazing and we can't thank them enough for the excellent service.

We rented a Toyota Hillux with two roof tents for a journey of >3000 km around Namibia. Everything arranged by Melbic was perfect: pick up and transportation from and to the airport, instructions how to use the car and gearings, safety instructions. We never had any problems with the car, brand new tires and no need to change them during the journey. The roof tents worked very well (one tent for 2 adults, one tent for 3 teenagers). Taken everything together I highly can recommend Melbis, it was the best car rental company and outfitter I ever had, also in comparison to outfitters in the US or Canada. I would definitely choose them again!!

We rented a 4x4 with rooftent in November for 3 weeks with Melbic and we couldn't have been happier to choose them.
First of all, they offered an A1 customer service. I had a lot of questions before the trip regarding different matters and all my emails we replied promptly with all the pertinent informations.
Alida the owner welcomed us when we picked up the truck and we checked together all the equipment to make sure everything is fine and got all the explanation to use it. Everything is well organised.
Regarding the truck, we were lucky enough to have an almost brand new Hilux with only 10K on the counter (but all the trucks seem recent and in very good condition). The truck was impeccable and as clean as when it gets out of the dealer.
All the camping equipment was fine, you have everything you need and it is equipped with a second battery for the fridge which is nice to have when you don't have access to electricity on your campsite.
The tires on the truck seemed almost new and with big crampons. We compared with many other rented trucks from other companies and we had by far the best tires. We didn't get any flat and never had to deflate/inflate tires before driving in the sand (Savuti, Sossuvlei, etc).

All in all, we had a wonderful experience with Melbic. We didn't have any suprise charge when we returned the car. We would recommend 100% and would book again with them for sure.

We rented a double-tented truck from Melbic for a two week trip through Namibia and a bit of Botswana. The team was very responsive before, during and after the rental. We had a 4x4 Toyota Hilux that appeared to be the latest model and was pristinely clean. It was equipped with everything you would need for camping and driving in the tough Nambian terrain. We drove more than 3000kms through gravel, paved and salt roads without any issues. The team showed us all the different features before we started our journey and they offered one way drop off for an extra fee. This was one of the most memorable trips we’ve had and it’s in large part thanks to the great truck and service we got from Melbic.

Had an awesome experience with Melbic rentals during our 10 days trip to Namibia in December. Connected with them around 5 months before and got a decent pricing with discount. Although their prices are competitive, they gain extra advantage on their competitors through their excellent communication and top noth quality of cars. 10 days before our trip, we got an updated invoice with additional discount as their system had shown some additional discount available. If they wanted to, they could have kept the old pricing, but this speaks a lot about their honesty and integrity. The pick up from airport was smooth and hassle free. Our vehicle was ready, polished and washed in absolute perfection, almost looking like a brand new Hilux. The car was just 37k kms done and was spotless. The staff was really helpful and explained the whole working of the car in detail including how to change tyres, how to charge the car in case of failed battery, how to pull in case get stuck etc. The whole process including signing the agreement and inspecting the car roughtly took around 30-45 mins. The driving was pretty awesome and didnt had an issue with the car on any day, including no punctures. We heard from fellow travellers that 1 or 2 punctures are just mandatory when driving in Namibia but thankfully the condition of the tyres was as good as new, so had no trouble. AC worked really well as well as the fridge. Kept our drinks chilled for the entire trip. The drop off was equally well managed and just took 5 mins after wwhich they dropeed us to our destination. If you are looking for a reliable renter with excellent cars, look no further.

We highly recommend this rental agency. As soon as we arrived at Windhoek airport we were given a shuttle bus to the agency, followed by a very friendly welcome from the owners.

We were able to benefit from an almost new vehicle, with quality equipment, which is obviously an essential part of a road trip.
The vehicle and equipment were in impeccable condition and hygienic.

This enabled us to cover more than 4,000km of the sometimes complicated Namibian roads with complete peace of mind.

Don't hesitate to book with this agency for your trip to Namibia.

Thanks again to the MELBIC team.

Excellent service, high quality cars with very complete camping equipment. You will get a thorough instruction of everything. The cars are installed with trackers to monitor speeding, which just shows they take your safety very seriously. In two weeks we drover over 3000km without a problem on Namibia's beautiful but sometimes very tough roads.

Everything perfect: spotless vehicle and equipped to perfection, maximum availability by the staff, delivery of the vehicle with excellent explanation of each equipment provided, very fast responses from the first contact, competitive price compared to other companies.
I specify that we rented a Toyota Hilux vehicle with two hard shell tents on the roof (hard shell tents). The tents were spotless, as were the pillows and sleeping bags provided.
We also rented the GPS, but it did not work well. Upon returning the vehicle, when we reported the malfunction of the GPS, they immediately refunded the money.
The truck had only 40,000 km and the tires were perfect. We have never punctured in the two weeks of mostly dirt roads.

Unforgettable experience from car delivery to return after 5 782 km roadtrip over three weeks.
Melbic provides full featured Hilux 4x4 with roof tents and all camping accessories including furniture, tableware, fridge, comfortable pillows and sleeping bags.
the journey starts with airport pickup followed by detailed demonstration of tent mounting and basic car repair, all provided in friendly atmosphere.
Tents can be mounted and dismounted in roughly 15 minutes
Extensive insurance package and 24/7 hot line support provide assistance whenever required
We did not face any issue during our three weeks trip, Hilux is comfortable and we had lots of fun in sandy or rocky pists.
In a nutshell, going Melbic allows enjoying the adventure in a peaceful mindset
