Rental car driven by French tourists means air travel. That means luggage restrictions. Even when stripped down to comply with airline and TSA regulations, a car kit suitable for off pavement travel is going to take up as much space as a gym bag. And, commercial kits are not cheap enough to be considered disposable. What this boils down to is it's unrealistic to expect them to carry anything but the most abbreviated kit.

EDIT: I already asked a similar question about what to do when things go catawampus on travel.
