Traffic Violations

Quick answer

The Agreement assigns listed parking, traffic, photo-enforcement, toll-evasion, and related Violations assessed during the rental to the renter.

Rental Agreement

60-second explanation

Why it matters

A citation or plate-based notice may reach the rental company after the vehicle is returned and can involve both the original amount and processing Charges.

In plain English

The driver remains responsible for the listed Violations during the rental even when an authority sends the notice to the vehicle owner later.

The Agreement permits relevant rental or payment-card information to be provided for billing or enforcement where STARS may be responsible.

What to confirm before you arrive

Practical checklist

  • Follow parking signs and traffic rules.
  • Keep receipts or records for a directly paid notice.
  • Ask how to question a later rental-related charge; the exact dispute process is source-gated.

Example

A camera citation can be mailed to the registered vehicle owner after return and then connected to the rental period.

Common mistake

Assuming a violation disappears because no paper ticket was placed on the vehicle.
