Which 4x4 Should You Rent for Namibia: Hilux, Land Cruiser, Fortuner or Jimny?

The Hilux is the standard choice for self-drive groups of two to five who plan to camp or cover gravel routes. The Fortuner suits families or couples who want a smoother ride, seven-seat capacity, and tarmac comfort, while keeping off-road ability for national park routes.

For one to four passengers without heavy camping equipment, yes. It is the most compact and fuel-efficient vehicle in the fleet, suited to solo travellers, couples or a Namibia trip with light luggage.

The 2024-2026 Hilux is the newest generation with updated interior and safety features. The 2022-2023 Hilux and Nissan Navara platform offers the same underlying 4x4 capability at a lower daily rate.

Yes. Every vehicle includes two spare wheels, one on the Fortuner, a jack and tools, two warning triangles, a tyre compressor, a tow rope, a first aid kit and jumper cables at no extra cost.

The Land Cruiser and the Fortuner have the largest tank at 160 litres (dual tank), followed by the Hilux at 145 litres (dual tank).

The Land Cruiser is Advanced Car Hire's premium camper, built for two travellers with one double bed, dual fuel tanks, and a premium camping setup. The Hilux campers offer 2 or 4 passenger configurations with a standard rooftop tent setup. The Land Cruiser sits at the top of the camping fleet's price range.
