Namibia has state-regulated petrol and diesel prices. This allows the same prices at every fuel station at any given time and eliminates competition in the fuel sector. The prices are set by the Ministry of Mines and Energy on a monthly basis (always valid from 00:01 hrs on the first Wednesday). Base price is given for Walvis Bay; prices for other areas are set by this base price plus an additional price for transport (around 5-75 cents per litre).
Valid as per 5 February 2025 (base price in Walvis Bay per litre)
- 95-Oktan – N$ 20.67 – change compared to previous month: +42 ct
- Diesel 50 ppm – N$ 20.92 – change compared to previous month: +120 ct
- Diesel 10 ppm – N$ 21.02 – change compared to previous month: +120 ct
Please note: Most fuel stations nowadays accept credit cards (Visa/Mastercard only); however, especially in remote areas only cash is accepted. At these sites, generally also ATMs are not available, so do have enough cash for remote areas with you.
