Does anyone know if tow / recovery points are available for a 1998 RAV4 . This is so my granddaughter can do a accredited fwd course.

Have a read of the thread below.

Although the pictures posted in the thread are not actual "Tow Points", but more the TIE DOWN points for when the car is shipped from Japan.... you can use these as a last resort. I don't recall that Gen of RAV 4 ever having official tow points. I could be wrong. (Check your owner's manual).

I owned a 95 model, which is practically the same and I honestly don't remember seeing any provision to scre a tow hook in. The front bumper is a complete moulded affair with no pop off caps.

The modern incarnation of RAV 4's do, and I believe the tow points are located behind the front bumper on the passenger side. You can tell by a small plastic pop off plate, which reveals the thread location for the tow hook.

Hope this helps.
