R Emkay, earlier on this thread you seemed to say dont worry about tix, but later on seemed to say that rental car companies can charge your card under their policies, have u experienced that (and if they do how much do they charge)? Asking about a 500 shek unfair parking ticket on a europcar (albar).
I think they always charge you, whether you pay the ticket or not. (Maybe they always assume you didn't pay. I would be surprised if a penny of what they charge you gets forwarded to the city.)
I try to rent on a spare card, and report it as lost right after the rental. I usually have a new (Chase) card within 72-96 hours of it being reported lost and a new card being overnighted.
I have a rental that I didn't get around to cancelling card (I don't think I even got any tickets on that rental) and months later I noticed that there were a bunch of charges ranging from $20-$100 on the card from the rental agency. As long as they have your active card, they feel free to take money from you when they're in the mood.
