What to carry
What you must carry in your car in Poland
A hire car does not always come with these. Check the boot before you drive away. Every item links to the official source it was checked against, with the date.
Required by law
What you must carry in the car
- Warning triangle
- Fire extinguisher
The fire extinguisher is the one visitors do not expect. Check the hire car has one before you drive away. A first aid kit is not required in Poland, though the police advise carrying one anyway.
