When considering Walvis car hire, it's recommended to hire a compact car or an SUV, depending on your specific needs. The compact car is suitable for navigating the city streets and parking in tight spaces. An SUV, on the other hand, provides better handling on gravel roads, which are commonly found in the surrounding areas. This is especially true if you plan to visit destinations like the Kuiseb Delta, Sandwich Harbor, or the Namib-Naukluft National Park, where gravel roads are common, and an SUV can provide better handling and stability.
The speed limit in Walvis is generally 60 km/h (37 mph) in built-up areas and 120 km/h (75 mph) on open roads. Walvis Bay has speed cameras in certain areas to enforce speed limits.

In Walvis, parking is generally easy to find and often free in most areas. However, in some parts of the city centre, paid parking may be required.

The average cost for parking in these areas is around N$5 (£0.30) per hour.
