Can I drive to other African countries with a rental car from Windhoek?

However, there may be restrictions on which type of car you can take across the border. Remember that you will need written permission from the rental car company to take the car outside of the country of origin, and you will be liable for any charges levied on the car while it is out of the country. Be aware that there may be additional fees for taking a rental vehicle across the border.

Can you hire a car in Windhoek without a credit card?

While it is possible that some local rental car companies may let you pay for car rentals with cash, most major rental car companies are going to require a credit card, even for cheap hired cars in Windhoek. If you would like to use a debit card to rent a car, you may still need a credit card as security to hold the vehicle. If you attempt to rent a vehicle with either debit card or cash, expect to pay a very high deposit, which may come in the form of a hold on your debit card or a large cash payment to the rental car company before renting the car. Most companies will let you pay for your rental car with a debit card upon completion of your rental. For some high-end or specialized types of rental cars, you may need two credit cards to rent the car.
