A General Car Ticketing Process and Safeguard Against it

No doubt, there are a number of complexities, which are attached with car renting process and driving the rented car. But above all, the dilemma of car renting, a question that always keep quivering in car renter’s mind is what would happen if he is implicated into situation of getting a ticket by a traffic officer.

As the car is not in the name of renter and registered for the car renting company, it further aggravate situation for the car renter depending upon the car renting agency which you are using. As on the basis of situation, a car renter in Detroit or any other place in the United States faces two types of ticketing fines.

The first type of ticketing fine is parking ticket that you get unknowingly when you just don’t see parking meter or sign and forgets to pay the due. Nevertheless, after reaching home and delivering back car to renting agency you write a check and mail the payment for your ticket to the city. But to your surprise you receive backs response from the car renting agency after a couple of weeks that your ticket has not been paid.

Now to clarify the situation, you once again call back to city as well as car renting agency. This time car renting agency slaps back fine on you for passing out their contact information to city that issued you a ticket as they have one more car on their record that have received ticket. As officer issuing the ticket must have note down the VIN and license plate numbers on the car that is registered on the name of rental Car Company.

In other instance on the basis of license plate number a renting agency may pay the ticket after getting the notice from city and further pass on cost to the customer. There is one other reason for car renting agency to ask you about ticketing cost as they may have missed to check out your ticket as they go through thousands of tickets per day and have not enough resources to check each and every ticket that was paid. Normally, a municipality that issued the ticket asks car renting agency for a citation and the company thinks that ticket is not paid in this situation you can fax receipt from the original payment to the car Rental Company to have your money refunded, yet car renting agency charge fee from you.

In case you are fined with speeding ticket then the penalty go against you not the car which you are driving as your personal driver’s license come into the legal preview. In this situation it is the driver who pays fine not the car renting agency. There are many exceptions to the parking ticket laws and one of them is when you are caught on camera speeding a ticket in this case on the basis of license plate ticket is send to car renting agency though further they charges it from you. So be careful when driving a car as you may not get trapped into ticketing fine.
