The city is extremely popular with tourists that are interested in the country’s historical exhibits and museums. For this reason, and due to the roads also being very busy, it’s recommended that you opt for a small car. For example, a Volkswagen Polo is one such vehicle that will make driving on the streets and parking easier. If you want to go out and explore the Namibian countryside, then you will want something a little more robust. For instance, a Toyota RAV4 is a great car for off-road driving, as it handles well and can deal with a variety of terrain.

It’s important that you stay within the speed limits when driving in Namibia; otherwise, you risk being prosecuted by local authorities. For instance, on motorways, the maximum speed is 120 km/h. On rural roads that aren’t motorways, you can travel between 80 km/h and 120 km/h. The speed limit will vary depending on where you are, so it’s important you keep an eye out for the signs. When you’re in the city or any other urban setting, you must lower your speed to 60 km/h.

There are quite a few parking areas that you can use when using your car hire in Windhoek. For instance, one of the most popular places to leave your car is Grove Mall, which provides plenty of parking spaces in its three-level car park. There are also disabled parking spots and family parking zones. The first hour is free, but it costs about N$ 7 (A$ 0.65) per hour afterwards.
