Fines, Tolls & Charges

What happens if I get a parking ticket or speeding fine in a hire car?

Updated 31 October 2026 2 min read

You're responsible for any parking tickets, speeding fines and similar penalties during your hire. On Autofusion bookings, the partner's admin fee for handling a fine is capped at £25.

How fines are handled

When a fine arrives, the partner will either:

  • Transfer it into your name, so the issuing authority deals with you directly, or
  • Contact you to pay it

Fines can arrive weeks after your hire ends, and you remain responsible for them.

Tolls and congestion charges

Tolls, congestion charges and clean air zone charges work the same way. See Am I responsible for tolls and congestion charges?

Admin fees

Partners can charge an admin fee for processing a fine. On bookings made through Autofusion, it's capped at £25 per fine.

Querying or appealing a fine

Contact the partner directly to query or appeal a fine. If you'd prefer, contact Autofusion 24/7 and we'll help you through the query or appeal.

Fines and your deposit

Fines aren't covered by the Autofusion Deposit Guarantee and are handled separately from your deposit. See When will I get my deposit back after hiring a car? For more on the rules of the road, read our guide to UK laws for supercar hire.
