What should I do if I receive a traffic ticket in a rental car?

If you receive a traffic ticket while driving a rental car in North Carolina, you should take the following steps. First, contact the rental car company to let them know that you received a ticket. Second, check to see if the rental car company offers an optional Collision Damage Waiver or Loss Damage Waiver which may cover your ticket fees and/or any associated fines. Third, contact a traffic ticket attorney to determine if you can fight the ticket. Depending on the reasons for the ticket, an attorney may be able to negotiate with the court for a lower fine or dismissal of the ticket. Fourth, if you decide to plead guilty or no contest, prepay the ticket or obtain the required court documents and pay all fees. Lastly, if you do not pay your traffic ticket within the time allotted, a fine may be placed against your license and possibly a suspension of your license may occur. In order to avoid any complications or increased fines, it is important to take care of any traffic tickets received in a timely manner.
