1. Insurance

Your rental vehicle in Namibia has standard third party insurance and is insured in case of traffic accidents for 90% of the new value. The client is responsible for the excess of the remaining 10%, for which a guarantee by credit card is required.

If you would like to rent the car with a lower than standard excess, an additional daily fee will be calculated.

For example, it is possible to reduce the standard excess with 50% or to have the minimum excess (N$1,500.-).

The exact fees depend on the vehicle of your choice and are already included in the rates (B, C, D) as presented in the rate overviews.

Important: the insurance company in Namibia only covers the damage in case of a traffic accident. Damage caused by negligence of the driver(s) themselves is not covered. Moreover, also excluded is damage cause by sandstorms, damaged glass/windows, damaged tires (except with Reduction 3, see explanation car insurance) and damage to personal belongings.
