We rented the car for 2 weeks. They were flexible and helpful with the booking when the airline messed up our flight... and didn’t charge us for the day we lost. Good car, friendly staff, great experience. If I ever go back to Namibia I’ll repeat with them.read more

Our experience with Zambezi Car Rental was perfect from start to finish! Very well received when handing over the... vehicle. We received good, very complete explanations. The vehicle and all the equipment were impeccable, everything was thought of so that we didn't miss anything. Our Isuzu DMAX was very recent and very comfortable, a significant point for the 4000 km traveled in 2 weeks! Go there with your eyes closed!read more

Just hired a car through Zambezi car rental as was so glad we did. The service was brilliant and very personal and they... were so responsive. We even emailed them our route before we left the uk as we were intending to visit quite a few places and wanted to make sure it was achievable and they kindly looked at it for us and reassured us it was ok.The car was great and did us proud. The roads can be challenging in places and we were pleased and relieved we had such a good and reliable car.Can highly, highly recommend. Thanks to everyone at Zambezi car rental. Shaunread more

Selecting a car rental for a holiday, especially on a road trip where reliability is crucial, can be stressful.... However, Zamezi Car Rental made our experience truly amazing. The car we rented was in impeccable condition, and it was evident that they paid meticulous attention to the maintenance and upkeep of their entire fleet. What's more, the Zamezi team (Jacque) was available 24/7 via WhatsApp, ready to address any concerns or issues (though, thankfully, we had none!). There's no need to waste your time looking elsewhere – Zamezi Car Rental is the way to go! Molly & Camread more

Highly recommending. Jacques was great. He spent time with our family and thoroughly explained everything about the... car, tire change, etc. He was available anytime whenever we had questions. The car was in great condition, fully equipped with all one may need on a self drive trip. Drove a bit over 5k km and we didn't have any issues with the car. We absolutely loved it and are going to repeat in a few years and visit areas where we haven't been on this trip. As a female, driving for the first time in Africa for almost a month with two kids with no driver's license, I was a bit sceptical at first, but it was truly an amazing and very memorable experience for us all. We love self-driving with Zambezi Car rental. Thank you so much!! I can't wait for my next trip to Namibia!read more

I had a bad experience with this company. On April 2023 we took 4 cars for the tour. one of them had a tire burst 40... minutes after leaving the airport. the spare wheel was a different size!When a clients complained about this, worker told that the size for riding does not matter. I convinced him to change a tire, Then, after a time it have happened .A few days later the second car started smoking and the engine overheated. We wanted to solve the problem quickly and I found a mechanic in Garage near Uis.We wanted to sort the problem independently by paying for repairs ourselves , but we were categorically forbidden to do this, ordering us to wait for a mechanic.As a result, desert, no connection, a family with small children stood on a dusty road in an extremely hot conditions for 3 hours under the scorching sun.Zambezi’s car rental mechanic arrived 1 hour later with a bad car, without any tools, just to find out what was wrong.He used everything inclusive a car from mechanic I found in garage first 20 min after an accident had happened. What the reason to endanger people in the heat I still don’t understand.Then we continued a trip without that car, and we got it a day later.the remaining car which left Uis earlier also had a burst tire, and the spare was a different size. On any complaints Jaque told me that they are the best company in a world and it’s our fault, but not their.But to put a sign on a board that you are the best and to move as a best - two different stories.Resume: Very inadequate service. I do not recommend this company. I also had a 2 orders with this company from long ago for another months, I asked to improve the service so that there were no problems, but they sent me a letter on Friday night saying that my orders were canceled a few days before the tour in a high season. Please be careful with this company.🙏🏻 You never win with them.* On a picture is mechanic from Zambezi car rental in Uis which arrived on a strange car without any equipment; wheel which were crashed after 40 min driving on a tyre road.read more

I would like to thank Zambezi Car Rental for the wonderful experience that we had during our 7 day trip around Namibia.... Claudie was super helpful and made the booking process very smooth and the way Jacques explained everything when handing over the car was absolutely amazing!We rented an Isuzu D-Max with camping equipment - the car and all of the equipment were brand new, the car was equipped with everything that you could possibly need in such a journey and was really comfortable to drive in on the gravel roads + we easily made it through the sands on the way to Sossusvlei.We additionally rented a satellite navigator from Zambezi - was extremely helpful as some parts of the country aren’t covered by the local mobile operator.I highly recommend Zambezi and will definitely rent a car with them again when we come back for a longer trip 🙂read more

We must confirm all reviews written before. It is not only car rental, it's a great service during your whole holiday.... It starts with very detailed instruction to the car and it's equipment and continues with many tips how to enjoy Namibia in its beauty. We rented a car in many countries (international and also local companies) but Zambezi Car Rental was absolutely the best. 5 star ranking here is very well deserved. Thank you very much Jacques.read more

I don't know how to start because there were too many things I liked.It was my best experience ever in rental car and... I've travelled a lot on all continents. To be fair to rent a car is always a problem for me because for many times it occurs unpredictable problems: the driving license should be international, the credit card is not good, the car has some small (invisible) damages while drop off, etc.I should start with beginning, before to book the car when Jacques was very professional and very kind and he answered to all my questions and there were really a lot as it was my first trip in Namibia and also in Africa. He had a lot of patience and after dozens of emails and messages I made the reservation.When I arrived in Windhoek a car was waiting for me in the airport. The check in was very easy and with a lot of useful information. The car was sparkling clean and everything was as I already settled.We didn't have any problem in the whole trip, except in the end of the holiday when we forgot to turn off the lights and the battery has gone. I send am email and the Oliver replied in 1 minute. The car is equiped with everything you can need and the problem was solved in 10 minutes.The drop off was quick and smothly, Jacques came at our accommodation in Windhoek to get the car and also he helped me with the airport transfer when going home.I don't have enough words to recommend Zambezi Car Rental. For me when travelling in Namibia everyone should rent the car from Zambezi.Thank you Jacques, Oliver and the rest of the team!Vlad, Alex, Traian and AncaRomaniaread more

Zambezi Car Rental and Jacques were fantastic! I highly recommend renting from Zambezi! My husband and I rented 4x4... truck (without camper) for a 17-day trip around Namibia and the vehicle was in excellent condition. Communication with Zambezi before the trip was easy and so was pick up despite our flight being 2 hours late into Windhoek. Drop off was also a breeze. Jacques took the time to explain everything we needed to know about the vehicle and gave us driving tips. We didn’t ask for a cooler beforehand but he gave us a cooler he had with him (without charging us for the use of it). We would gladly rent from Zambezi again!(We rented in May/June 2021 but my review is super late. Sorry Jacques!)Side note: Getting gas took a lot longer than we were used to in the United States. A LOT LONGER. The gas seemed to dribble out, and the attendants were the ones controlling the pumps. I think at one stop it took a full 25-30 minutes from the time we pulled up until the time we left. Tanking up in Windhoek was the fastest spot. Also be sure you know where the gas stations are located before you get too far in the remote wilderness before tanking up. We had a paper map that showed all the gas stations in the country and it was very helpful.read more

I booked a 3 weeks rental with Jacques. Email communication was easy before arrival to Namibia, and while in Namibia,... we used whatsapp. I received a relatively new, very clean, and well maintained vehicle with only 40,000 kilometers on it. Most importantly, it has excellent tires. Jacques brought the vehicle to Windhoek airport, spent about two hours going over the vehicle and what to do if encountering mishaps, ensured the tire pressure was optimal, before I went on my merry way. The ride was smooth throughout, and I had really enjoyed driving it. Drop off was also easy and fuss-free. I hope to be able to return to Namibia again to explore the rest of the country, and when I do, I will contact Jacques again!read more

After the friendly welcome at the airport by a Zambezi employee, Jacques was personally greeted at the rental station.... It is immediately noticeable that the work here is not only professional, but also with heart. This is how the instruction in the vehicle took place. Everything was explained in detail, plus tips were given for driving on difficult routes.The still quite new vehicle was in perfect condition, very well cleaned and equipped with four brand new tires and two spare tires. There is also a fridge in which food can also be frozen. I was pleasantly surprised by the fuel usage, which was below the information in the vehicle description.On my round trip with 6,600 kilometers I had absolutely no problems. And if so, Jacques is available for his customers 24 hours a day. With this certainty and the well-maintained vehicle, I felt safe on any terrain.The transfer to the airport took place very punctually and the farewell was warm. You first come to Zambezi Car Rental as a customer, but then leave as a friend. I've already booked a vehicle with Jacques again for September and I'm looking forward to seeing him again.Great price-performance ratio, reliability, friendliness - therefore 100% recommendation!read more

No flat tires even though the car comes with 2 spare ones. He was available on WhatsApp at all times and even came in person to pick up the car at our last lodge near the airport.
