Car Rental - Windhoek - Hosea Kutako International Airport

At the time of rental the driver must present a valid national driver's licence.

The driver's license must be valid according to the issuing country, unendorsed and in English. Otherwise an International Driving Permit (IDP) will be required.

The IDP translates the national licence into various languages and is on its own, without the national licence, not acceptable.

Important Notice for Customers with UK Driving Licences issued in Great Britain

When renting in Namibia, all drivers with a UK licence (except Northern Ireland) will need to provide evidence of any driving endorsements. This also applies if you have a paper licence that was issued before 1998.

You will need to provide a ‘Check Code’ which enables you to share your driving record with someone, for example a car hire company. Check Codes are valid for 21 days. 

Driver's licences issued by the People's Republic of China may be accepted provided you present an official Hertz Certification form. Hertz China will issue this form on Hertz notepaper and will incorporate the Hertz China Corporate seal. A scanned copy of the original licence will appear on the Certification form. The Certification form is valid until the expiry date of the Driver's Licence. BOTH the Certification and the original licence MUST be produced at the time of rental.

If you hold a driver's licence issued in Vietnam, you need to present the original licence together with an authorised translation issued by the Vietnamese Ministry of Transport. If both documents are presented at time of rental these licences are acceptable worldwide.

Please also refer to "Passport/Identity Card Information”.

Extra day is charged after 59 minutes over 24 hour rental period.

A one way rental is a rental which starts at one location and terminates at another. Availability is subject to location restrictions and vehicle type. A fee may apply for this service and will be advised at time of reservation.

Hertz vehicles rented in Namibia may only be returned in a Hertz location in Botswana, Namibia or South Africa. If the vehicle is rented in Namibia and returned to South Africa, an international one-way fee will apply.

For any driving restrictions within or outside Namibia please refer to “Driving Restrictions - Driving Abroad”.

For any further information please contact your Reservation Centre.

Hertz rates do not include fuel.

All Hertz vehicles are rented with a full tank and must be returned with a full tank. If a vehicle is returned and the tank is not full, a charge of NAD 40.00 (including tax) will apply in addition to the cost of the fuel. 

Fuel Purchase Option (FPO). 

For convenience, you may purchase a tank of fuel from Hertz at the time of rental at a price that is competitive with local fuel stations; this method eliminates the need for you to refill the tank before returning. Please be aware that we are unable to give a refund for unused fuel.

Please check availability at time of rental.

Please note that credit cards are not accepted at petrol stations. The only method of payment is by cash or if accepted, an internationally recognized petrol card.
