Guide to Driving In Reunion - Drive Safe in Reunion

If you’ve hired a car and are having difficulties, telephone the emergency number given on the rental documentation or found on a sticker inside the windscreen or the sun visor. If you’re in a private car, you’ll need to contact a mechanic as there is no emergency assistance facility on La Reunion. 

 

As in many countries, if you are involved in a minor collision where no one is hurt, you can simply sort the matter out between the parties involved. If there is major damage or injuries, you must call the emergency services and await their arrival. In the interim, don’t move the vehicles unless absolutely necessary and then, take photographs of their position before you do. When the police attend they will give you a copy of their report for the car hire company or your insurers.
