Question 15

Does Namibia have any unique traffic laws?

Accepted Answer

If you're planning on driving rental cars in Namibia, you need to know that it's illegal to use your mobile phone when behind the wheel. The national advice is that if you need to answer or make a call, you should park at the side of the road if it is safe to do so. To drive rental cars in Namibia, you will need to have both your original driving license and an International Driving Permit (IDP) in case traffic police stop you. You must keep your headlights on at all times, both day and night, due to the dust that often swirls on dirt roads and reduces visibility. Driving without your headlights can result in a small fine by the local traffic police. Another important part of driving in Namibia is respecting the signs that indicate caution due to regular animal crossings. Namibia is a country full of wildlife, and in many areas, you will need a permit to drive at night. This law protects animals that rest on the roads and roadside during the night due to the heat from the ground.

Question 16

What are the legal and documentation requirements for renting a car in Namibia?

Accepted Answer

If you plan on driving rental cars in Namibia, then you will need to be 21 or older, with some car hire companies requiring you to be 23 or older. You'll need to have held your driving license for at least a year before being able to rent a car with most car hire companies, and drivers under the age of 25 will probably have an added daily surcharge. Basic insurance is included in most car hire deals, but the policies vary depending on each car rental company, so you should check what is covered. Good insurance is essential, considering that the road quality in Namibia varies, which increases your chances of damaging wheels or glass while driving rental cars. You will need a credit card to rent a car, and some car hire companies will not permit you to drive on the D3700 and D3701 roads, which follow the Kunene River, nor the Van Zyl's Pass, for safety and insurance reasons.

Question 17

Which areas of Namibia have the most traffic?

Accepted Answer

In general, Namibia is not a country that suffers from a lot of traffic, as there are usually long distances between cities and towns, but the area that is most affected by traffic is the capital city of Windhoek. As the capital city, it has a growing population and an increasing number of cars. The easiest way to get around Windhoek is by taxi, as the public transport system is not well connected and is often irregular or unreliable. Many locals either drive their own cars or take a taxi. Parking in the city is not as easy as in other parts of the country, so if you plan on travelling within the city of Windhoek, we suggest using taxis. However, once you are out of the city, renting a car is the ideal way to visit Namibia.

Question 18

What are the best scenic roads in Namibia?

Accepted Answer

Namibia has some fantastic scenic roads to drive, and the main one that we recommend is the C34, also known as the Skeleton Coast. So named due to the high number of shipwrecks along the coastline, you can soak in the views of high sand dunes, old shipwrecks and even see the largest seal colony in all of Africa. The journey from the north, starting anywhere near Hentiesbaai and driving down to Swakopmund, can be done within a day when you take the time to enjoy the sights along the way.

Question 19

Accepted Answer

Question 20

How many operators does momondo search for cars in Namibia?

Accepted Answer

Question 21

How old do you have to be to hire a car in Namibia?

Accepted Answer

Among different countries, including Namibia, the minimum age for drivers varies. In numerous EU countries, drivers must be 18 years old. To hire a car overseas, you'll generally need to be at least 21, and if you're under 25, a young driver surcharge may be imposed. It's recommended that you review the policy of the rental company you're considering before booking.

Question 22

What documentation or ID do you need to rent a car in Namibia?

Accepted Answer

To rent a car in Namibia, all drivers must present a valid full driving license. If the license is written in a language other than the language of the country of rental, an International Driving Permit may be required to avoid the risk of potential fines. If you're renting a car abroad, you may also need to provide evidence of your return travel and accommodation information during your stay. We always recommend that you verify with the specific rental company you're booking with.
