What’s Included in the Emergency Tools & Safety Kit?

Each vehicle from our cars for rentals fleet includes a complete set of essential emergency tools and equipment to handle any roadside situation.

Spare Tire and Tire Changing Kit

Every car, from the rugged Toyota Fortuner to the popular Toyota RAV4 2019–2024 model, comes with a spare tire, jack, and lug wrench. These are especially crucial when traveling through remote areas like Lake Kivu or Musanze Caves.

Reflective Warning Triangles

To comply with Rwandan traffic regulations and improve road safety, we include two reflective triangles in each vehicle. They’re vital for situations where you need to pull over on highways or in national parks like Akagera.

High-Visibility Safety Vest

Wearing a reflective vest enhances visibility, particularly on dark or foggy roads. This is vital if you break down near areas like the Kigali Convention Centre or while exploring Nyungwe Forest.

First Aid Kit

Every rental comes with a well-stocked first aid kit that includes bandages, antiseptics, gloves, and pain relief essentials. It’s especially useful on rugged drives to Volcanoes National Park or chimpanzee tracking tours.

Fire Extinguisher

Each car is equipped with a fire extinguisher suitable for small engine fires or overheating. This is mandatory for rental cars in Rwanda and offers added protection on long-distance routes.

Jumper Cables

All vehicles include jumper cables, which are helpful in the rare event of a battery issue—particularly useful when exploring remote lodges or eco-camps near Lake Kivu.

Tow Rope

For off-road adventures with our 4x4 SUV rentals, we provide a durable tow rope. This is especially useful during Rwanda’s rainy seasons when roads become muddy and slippery.

Flashlight and Extra Batteries

Every car includes a flashlight for visibility during nighttime emergencies, breakdowns, or campsite navigation. Whether you're on a Rwanda safari car rental tour or a camping adventure, light is essential.
