The purchase price of a vehicle is only a fraction of its total cost. In Namibia, ongoing running expenses play a major role in your financial comfort.
Fuel is typically the largest running expense. Driving 25,000 km annually in a bakkie consuming 9.5 L/100km at N$ 23.50/L equates to over N$ 55,000 per year in fuel alone.
Comprehensive insurance generally costs 4.5% to 6.0% of the vehicle's market value annually, depending on driver profile and vehicle risk category.
Gravel road driving accelerates tyre wear. High-quality all-terrain tyres (e.g. BFGoodrich, Cooper, Bridgestone) last 60,000 to 80,000 km and cost between N$ 12,000 and N$ 18,000 per set of four.
