Quick answer
Cell service inside the reserve is intermittent, so you should notify park rangers at Futi Gate or your host lodge of your estimated time of arrival.
The practical answer
Park rangers patrol main tracks, but self-recovery equipment (recovery tracks, tow straps, snatch ropes) and a tire compressor are essential. Major lodges can dispatch recovery vehicles for guest emergencies at a fee.
