Speeding and illegal parking.
Heavy fines are imposed, if you are not aware you are been fined, like, speeding and been caught by a speed camera, the Police will contact the car hire company and we provide them all your details. You must pay all fines as soon as, this can save you, in most cases, up to 50 % of the fine. Keep to the speed limit and display your paid parking ticket when parking on blue lines. Never park on yellow lines, white lines or in front of garages, etc you will towed away and you will be responsible for all costs for getting the vehicle back.
Parking spaces outlined in Blue require you to buy a parking ticket and display it on the vehicle. This may only operate during certain hours and is clearly stated on ticket machines.
