The rental company

Britz Cars, for touring Namibia while staying in lodges

Britz Cars covers the Britz brand’s vehicles supplied without sleeping quarters or camping gear. In Namibia, its network includes three cities: Windhoek, with a counter at Hosea Kutako International Airport, as well as Swakopmund and Walvis Bay, on the coast, where the exact handover location is given at booking.

Britz Cars’ Namibian fleet is not detailed, and our October 2026 records did not bring up any of its offers: vehicle category, included mileage and excess therefore need to be read offer by offer when you search for your dates. This option suits a trip where you book your nights in lodges, guest farms or park chalets, which are plentiful along the classic routes.

Our view: you can set off either straight off a flight in Windhoek or from the coast, which makes a loop or a linear route easier. The downside: we have no data on the fleet or prices in Namibia, and you need to check in the offer that the vehicle proposed is indeed a 4x4 if your itinerary leaves the main roads.

Our view

Britz Cars: who is it for, and who should look elsewhere?

Britz Cars is ideal if…

  • You are moving from lodge to guest farm between the Namib and Etosha
  • You are arriving on the coast and would rather start in Swakopmund or Walvis Bay
  • You want to compare Britz Cars, Britz and Asco side by side for your dates

Britz Cars is not ideal if…

  • You plan to sleep in a rooftop tent: equipped 4x4s are available from Britz or Bushlore Africa
Practical tips

Our tips for booking with Britz Cars

  1. Keep an eye on the time in Etosha

    The gates of Etosha National Park open at sunrise and close at sunset, times that vary through the year. By closing time, you must have left the park or reached your camp. If your lodge is outside the park boundaries, leave enough time for the drive back after the last waterhole.

  2. Reaching the coast from Windhoek

    The simplest road to Swakopmund is the B2, tarred all the way, via Okahandja and Karibib: around 350 km. The more spectacular Gamsberg and Kuiseb passes follow gravel roads and take considerably longer.

  3. Watch out for coastal fog

    Between Walvis Bay, Swakopmund and Henties Bay, fog from the Atlantic often covers the road in the morning. North of Swakopmund, the road surface is made of compacted salt, which becomes slippery when wet: slow down and switch on your headlights even during the day.

What travellers ask

Your questions about Britz Cars

Britz Cars or Britz: which should you choose in Namibia?

It all depends on where you sleep. Britz hires out ready-to-camp 4x4s, with a tent on the roof and a kitchen in the back. Britz Cars covers vehicles without sleeping quarters, designed for a trip with nights booked in proper accommodation. The two brands share the same Namibian cities and appear separately in the search.

How much does Britz Cars hire cost in Namibia?

Our October 2026 Namibian records contain no Britz Cars prices, so no amount can be given here. As a guide, the vehicles recorded in Windhoek under the Britz brand started at around €87 a day over 15 days. A search for your dates shows the price of each offer, mandatory fees included.

Where do you collect a Britz Cars vehicle in Namibia?

At Hosea Kutako International Airport to set off from the capital, or in Swakopmund and Walvis Bay to start on the Atlantic coast. For these two coastal towns, no address is published: the meeting point is given to you once the hire is confirmed.

Everything was quick and quite simple. Just a small downside upon arrival, we waited a good amount of time before being taken care of.

Frequently asked questions

FAQ — Britz Cars vehicle hire in Namibia

Do you need a 4x4 for a tour of Namibia?

Not always. In the dry season, the main gravel roads between Windhoek, Sesriem, Swakopmund and Etosha can be driven in an ordinary vehicle, carefully handled. The last few kilometres to Sossusvlei, in deep sand, are however reserved for 4x4s, and a shuttle serves this stretch. Kaokoland and some Damaraland tracks require genuine four-wheel drive.

Which documents should you take to drive in Namibia?

Your national driving licence and, to be safe, an international driving permit, often required when the licence is not written in English. Add your passport and a credit card for the deposit. Age and licence-holding requirements are shown in the Britz Cars offer before payment.

Can you collect the vehicle in Windhoek and leave it on the coast?

A drive from Windhoek to Swakopmund or Walvis Bay makes good sense, since all three cities are part of the network. Whether it is accepted and what it costs vary by offer: choose the coastal town as the return location when searching to check.
