Detailed FAQ on the rental process
Drivers, who often make and receive phone calls while driving, will need to purchase a headset. The use of a cell phone during the movement without a headset is also the reason for a fine of 40 euro.
The fine issued for a minor traffic regulations violation can be paid to a police officer. If there’s no cash, the payment can be made by a credit card. If a driver does not pay the fine for some reason, his car can be confiscated.
Do not try to reduce the fines by filling a claim to court. In this case, their size may increase substantially. The reason for this fact is that the court takes into account the level of income of the violator when calculating the amount of fines.
