The parking ticket will eventually work its way back to the rental car company, which will simply charge you for the ticket and administrative fee down the road. Unpaid fines and rental car administration fee balances will eventually land at a collections agency.
If you believe the parking ticket was issued in error, you need to weigh the cost of the fine versus the hassle of contesting the ticket and the possibility that you will also be charged administrative fees by the rental car company. On your rental car contract, there will be a section on how to appeal parking tickets. Typically the renter has the right to challenge a ticket within a set amount of time—often within 60 days from the date the ticket is issued, but be sure to check your contract for the exact timeframe.
If you decide to fight the ticket, you need to resolve it directly with the authority that issued it. The contact information for the ticket-issuing authority will be on the ticket itself. In some municipalities, drivers can contest tickets online.
If this option is available, take it. For example, if your payment squeaks in just under the deadline, it may cross in the mail with an outgoing notice of unpaid violation. That means someone has to check to ensure it's been paid, and you'll pay for that. ATS wasn't able to bill Domittner's mother's credit card, which she had canceled after it was lost.
That's why she started receiving collection notices, and later was placed on the Do Not Rent list of non-payment. I asked Hertz to look into Domittner's complaint. It worked with ATS to waive both the administrative fee and the original citation amount. Hertz also removed Domittner's mother from its Do Not Rent list. Now, about that parking ticket. New York extends a five-minute grace period for expired meters.
That window can give you just enough time to get to the meter, pay for parking time, and zip back with your receipt. But as it turns out, Domittner was just a few minutes past that window. She got the ticket just after the grace period ran out, which is doubtless why she lost the original appeal. Tickets must contain certain required elements, says Berezin, and if they don't, they can be dismissed.
You'll normally have 30 days to respond, but don't wait until the last minute. If your citation was on a rental car, Berezin advises that you send a certified letter to the rental car agency explaining that you are disputing the citation, and that you will appeal if you lose the initial decision. One exception to this would be if you choose to fight or dispute the ticket in court.
If this is something you plan on doing, let the rental car company know about your intentions as soon as possible. Keep in mind, however, that you will still be responsible for all costs if you lose your case. Getting a traffic or parking ticket while in a rental car can be a major headache. The best thing you can do is to be proactive in getting the parking ticket resolved as soon as possible. Your email address will not be published.

But also show that you couldn't be on the bridge because it's a train track above. How the hell could you park on the train tracks? Make sure you cite the law I have quoted, to the hearing officer and explaining the ticket was written improperly.
I recently received a parking ticket for crossing over the yellow line by about a foot near a fire hydrant. I blame the giant Caddy in front of me, but this isn't really debatable. Anyways, my problem stems from a few things. One, I don't technically own the car. It's my dad's and it's registered in Indiana only about an hour or so away. My question then is multi-faceted. If I don't pay the ticket will it somehow affect his registration in Indiana at a later date?
Also, can he claim that he was not the respondent of the vehicle at the time? If so, does he have to say who it was? I know he has no parking tickets or violations, nor do I. If I knew it would somehow just bite me in the future I'd be OK with not paying the ticket, but knowing it could hurt him is annoying. The law is you need to be parked 15' or more from the hydrant.
And many times, those yellow lines are measured wrong.
