The roads in Namibia are very good and can be travel on. Most of the stretches are tarred, on one of the normal Namibia Tours, however many of the roads travelled on are in bad condition and are in need of constant maintenance. Almost all of the roads can be travelled on by standard vehicles without four-wheel drive. However we strongly advise the use of fitter vehicles such as 4x4 D/Cab, the new Toyota Condor or the VW Bus. These vehicles have the appropriate distance from the ground and suitable tyres for the potholes and the necessary space in the interior. Suited for a comfortable and relaxing holiday.
With the 4x4 Single Cabs the interior is very restricted and the seat is not adjustable. The vehicle is overall too small for two persons. There is no space for cameras or drinking water.
For the smaller vehicles only the price is the deciding factor.
One should always order and travel with a second spare tyre.
With all vehicles the bad roads must be suitably and carefully travelled.
Car rental agents are Europcar Namibia with Europcar Car Rental Terms and Conditions.
All Europcar vehicles are less then 2 years old and have less then 100000 km on the odometer. This should always be taken into consideration, as in Namibia a section has been renting 10 year old vehicles.
One should always select Super Cover Insurance.

In the event of negligence (i.e. alcohol, drugs or off-road driving) but also in the event of not informing Europcar about crossing borders, non-registered drivers, not obeying traffic laws or if the vehicle is used for a longer period of time without informing Europcar or delayed information of an accident, then the Super Cover Insurance is void. If an accident is caused without participation of another vehicle, in this instance the Super Cover Insurance is made void.

The Partial Cover vehicle is not covered in eventuality of a accident, therefore the client is required to pay an excess per credit card or pay cash in Namibia Dollars at the beginning of rental.
If the vehicle is returned without damage the excess will be returned in full.
If vehicle is damaged the client is liable for the damage up to the amount of the excess. If accident is caused due to negiligent driving or if accident caused on a gravel road without the involvement of another vehicle or object the client is liable for the whole amount of damage up to the value of the car. Damages to glass, tyres, headlights and paintwork especially in sandstorms are not covered by the excess.
For the Super Cover Insurance a reduced excess is required.
