No faults. They were very good with answering any queries - they're available on whatsapp too, which is handy. The wagon I had did have over 200,000km but it was 5 years old but I have faith in diesel engines. My only gripe was that the tires were fairly worn - barely 5mm on each of them - but when raising it they said that because it's only 7 days rental they didn't feel the need to put new ones on. Maybe it's worth checking this out beforehand.
The GPS enabled speed warning buzzer is terribly annoying when you're cruising on good roads, but most rental companies have those.response / report this review -

Terrible! The car was old, damaged and mileage was above 200000km, the roof was cracked, the trunk was always full of dust, the tent was skewed sideways and the AC was not working. We did not receive the promised refund after flagging all this. I can not recommend enough - AVOID by all means. The insurance agreement is basically BS, as if you could observe all that it would not be possible to have an accident. They say both tanks are full when you pick up the car, but really only one tank is full, the other is empty, but they charge you as if both were full. For your own satisfaction - do not rent car from Advanced!!

We rented from Advanced a Toyota Hilux with camping equipment at the beginning of November. As we were booking rather late and there weren’t any recent models left, an older model (from 2010/11) was offered to us. After reading so many positive comments about the company and reassurements that the cars are very well serviced we decided on that one. It resulted the company upgraded it to 2012/13 for the same price, which was good, however we don't remember anybody telling it to us directly (might be our bad, as it was in the contract).The tyres were new and we didn’t have any problems with them to the very end of our journey. We didn’t expect the camping equipment (esp. table) to be that worn out but all in all it didn’t bother us that much. On the penultimate day, when we were setting for a whole day drive towards Windhoek, the car battery unexpectedly went dead. It also turned out that the cables included by the company to charge it are broken. An employee of the campsite had to pull our car a little with his truck so we could start the engine. We disconnected everything in the car, including fridge, and drove 500km but still the next day we had problems with the battery and hardly started the engine. The problem then repeated when we arrived at a gas station. We were lucky that we had enough time to get back and not be late for our plane. The worst surprise however, awaited us at the very end. We bought a whole insurance package: zero excess together with tyres and glass insurance. The company warned us that it doesn’t cover both bumpers and the underbody. Unfortunately, we made a dent in the rear bumper when backing at a campsite. A dent which could easily be hammered out and the bended plastic cap (not broken) to be then straightened, or so we thought. But the company made us pay for a whole new bumper!!! Our suggestions of a possible repair were put off with a vague argumentation that there was no access to hammer the dent out (there was) and next, that they cannot buy the plastic parts separately (which weren’t broken, just bended)! They instantly decided it was neccessary to buy a new bumper and insisted on it, sending a quotation to the dealer for the price of all the parts, nobody even mentioned a reparation! The new bumper doubled the cost of our whole 2-week rental! We signed the contract so we had no other option than to pay. Still we can’t help but feel cheated. A very bitter end to a great holiday we had. Although the majority of the rental was ok, we wouldn’t rent with this company again.

Amazing experience! People there were so helpful and clear with details of the car and all paper work. Then, the truck include everything's needed to enjoy the road and the beautiful places in Namibia. I truly recommend this company to go safe on the road, no extras, no surprises and total support.
