What most people want to know about 4x4 car hire

The following questions and answers are a selection of the most common questions.
If you do not find the answer to your question, have a look at the Frequently Asked Questions page or contact us.

Our rentals start from 6 days up to as long as you need the car.
Go to the reservation page and follow the steps given to select a vehicle for your chosen dates. The reservations screen will only display available vehicles so if you do not find the vehicle you want, it is likely booked out for the period you need.
The speed limits in Namibia are 120km/h on tarred roads, 100km/h on gravel roads and 60km/h in cities and national parks.

However, for safety reasons Asco Car Hire imposes a speed limit of 80km/h on all gravel roads for our vehicles. The cars are equipped with a black box which tracks the speed and location of the cars, and will notify the driver with a loud beep when the speed limit is being broken. Note that if you do exceed the speed limit, your insurance and excess will lapse and become invalid. Please have a look at our insurances page for more information.

No, the price you receive at the final step of the reservation process is the price you need to pay, and it is dependent on your rental duration and the extras you need. We do charge an additional 'out of hours fee' for administrative reasons when pick-up or drop-off falls on a weekend or a public holiday, but this will be indicated in your rental total.

Asco Car Hire reserves the right to impose an age limit for the drivers at a minimum of 23 years for all vehicles with a 2.4l engine in Budget groups, 25 years for all vehicles with a 2.4l engine in Asco groups, and 30 years for all larger engine size cars.

CO2 - AWARENESS

✓ CO2 Compensation ✓ Trees Planted ✓ CO2 off-set units

Asco Car Hire is an official sponsor of the Moreson School. All trees purchased by Asco Car Hire customers are planted and maintained at the Moreson School. The Moreson School is a school for cognitively impaired. The trees that are planted are mainly fruit trees, which the children will take care of. The yield of the fruit trees will complement the diet of the children, but in the future also serve as a source of income, because the fruit is to be processed into jam and juices. The children learn to cook, simple woodwork, but also the making of bricks at the school. The Moreson School program is designed to give children a future in simple occupations. We are very proud to support this special school and we are happy about any support.

Travel green – the Namibian way

In a move towards carbon neutral tourism, Asco Car Hire decided to support the Eloolo Permaculture Organisation and Tourism Supporting Conservation Trust (TOSCO) to create Namibia’s very own carbon offsetting programme.

The initiative offers tourist to travel with a clean conscience by donating towards the planting of trees as a means to offset vehicles’ direct carbon emissions.

What to compensate?

As an estimate, each litre of diesel emits 2.64 kg of CO2, while one tree can absorb around 100 kg of carbon in its lifetime.

For example, for a 3 000 km self drive trip through Namibia by SUV or 4×4 (at 14 litre per 100 km) one would thus have to support the planting of 3 trees to offset its emissions. The bigger the vehicle, the more trees required for a guilt free journey.

How does it work?

Asco Car Hire offers a (partial) CO2 compensation of your 4WD self drive trip by purchasing CO2 off-set units. For every two CO2 off-set units, one indigenous Namibian tree will planted on your behalf.

How much does it cost?

One CO2 off-set unit = Euro 15, which offset the emissions of approximately 500 km 4×4 driving. Purchasing two CO2 off-set units is enough to compensate for planting one new tree. You can buy as many CO2 off-set units (and therefor trees) as you like.

EXTRA OPTIONS for your CAR RENTAL

In addition to your 4×4 vehicle booking with or without camping equipment, you can add extra items, such as car insurance with better cover or extra equipment, such as a satellite phones, child seats, SIM cards, GPS or a compressor. When traveling with more than one car it can be fun to build in a 27mc transmitter / receiver (two-way-radio) which makes the communication ‘on the go’ more pleasant. All these extras contribute to a great 4×4 self-drive tour without any worries.
