What to do if you get caught driving your rental car ?

When you rent a car and break the rules of the road, you assume full responsibility. It is your civic duty to reimburse the rental car agency in full.

The main driver registered on the rental contract will therefore receive the fine. It doesn't matter if an additional driver was registered on the rental contract. The main driver, i.e. the hirer of the vehicle, assumes financial responsibility by signing the rental contract.
