Toll Violations: Toll roads are very common in the United States, and there is often a lane, typically on the far left or right, exclusively for drivers with a transponder, allowing automatic payments without the driver needing to stop and pay an attendant. When a vehicle without this equipment passes through these lanes, a photo will be taken, and a toll violation ticket will be issued and sent to the vehicle’s owner. In the case of rental vehicles, the rental company will charge the amount of the violation to the renter’s credit card, which could happen after the vehicle is returned, as it may take up to 30 days for the rental car company to receive the citation notice. The amount for toll violations can range from $10.00 to $50.00 per violation, depending on the county and road where the violation occurred.

Parking Violations: In the United States, fines for improper parking must be paid within the timeframe indicated on the citation (usually 30 days). If not paid within the specified period, the original amount will increase and can sometimes triple. The citation can be paid with a check in U.S. dollars or can usually be paid online with a credit card, depending on the county. If the citation is not paid within the original timeframe, the amount will be charged to the vehicle owner (the rental company), which will then charge the renter’s credit card up to 90 days later.

Traffic Violations: In the United States, all traffic fines are issued against the driver’s license of the offender and not against the vehicle’s license plate or registration. Therefore, no information about the violation will be sent or charged to the vehicle owner, and it will be the sole responsibility of the offender to pay for the citation. Traffic citations can be paid by sending a check in U.S. dollars to the address indicated on the citation or sometimes, depending on the county, online with a credit card.
