How to Handle Traffic Violations for Rental Vehicles?
2 Answers
There are several ways to handle traffic violations for rental vehicles: 1. Self-handling: Process the violation at the location where it occurred or at the vehicle's license plate registration location. 2. Rental company handling: The lessee pays the relevant fees, and the rental company can assist in processing the violation. The fees include the traffic violation fine, the service fee charged by the rental company for handling the fine, and any late fees incurred due to the violation. 3. Online handling: The lessee can use the "Traffic Management 12123" app to check and self-handle traffic violations for rental vehicles online. The traffic management authorities can transfer the record of the traffic violation to the name of the lessee driver.
I often rent cars for road trips, and getting a traffic ticket is really a headache. Here's how it usually goes: After the violation occurs, the rental company typically notifies you of the violation details via email or app within one or two weeks, including the time, location, and type of violation. You must handle it promptly; otherwise, there will be additional late fees or service charges, usually ranging from tens to hundreds of yuan. My process is always like this: log in to the rental platform, enter the violation code, and the system automatically calculates the total fine—including the official traffic fine and the rental company's administrative fee. Payment methods include online banking or WeChat. After that, provide a scanned copy of your driver's license to confirm your identity, and everything is settled. Delaying the process may affect your eligibility for the next rental or incur higher fees. Prevention advice: Before renting a car, carefully read the contract terms and familiarize yourself with local traffic rules. Speeding or running red lights are the most common issues. Safe driving is the foundation for avoiding such troubles. When renting a car abroad, pay extra attention to different rules.
