Write to the agency which sent the notification in an attempt to carry out a form of ‘informal’ appeal.The Official Notification must be sent by registered/ recorded deliver mail. Wait until the actual fines arrive – usually a letter you have to sign for.No further action will be taken – but you are not obliged to pay. Pay the fine or fines at the time of the notification.You receive a ‘notification of fine’ – the notice of payment before official notification – from a fine collection agency for some infraction or other which you allegedly committed while in Italy.I’ve been getting lots of email from people on the subject of fines, so instead of repeating myself many times over, here’s how I understand the situation – BUT I am not a lawyer.

Having one of these passes should help you avoid these pesky fines. See the section Road UseĬity center hotels should know about the existence of these passes, as should car rental companies. Information on this is still rather sketchy, although the website of Ireland’s Department of Foreign Affairs does mention it. If you are renting a car for a trip in Italy, some car rental agencies are now offering passes for entry into limited traffic (ZTL) zones in some of Italy’s cities and towns. If anyone has had experience of this, please let us know in a comment.ĮND of update. What this means is that by ignoring, not paying or not appealing fines for driving offences in Italy you may cause yourself problems if you come to Italy again and attempt to rent a car. It is not clear which car rental companies in Italy are using this database, nor for how long, although I was told that the system could have been in place for as long as three years. One person, I understand, managed to avoid paying overdue fines by renting a car in his wife’s name. If you do not pay the fine at the time you attempt to rent a car, you will not be allowed to rent it. While chatting with a tourism business operator in Tuscany today May 25, 2013, I was told that car rental companies now have a database which shows if you have not paid fines received for driving offences in Italy or in other parts of Europe.
Beware – see this: HERTZ ITALIANA SPA ROMA Complaints & Reviews – Verbale fine on line. Watch out for this: Hertz Italia in Rome appear to have been trying to charge people for processing fines which never existed. You never know nowadays and this blog is public (Indeed, I have now been lucky enough to have been accused of being a scammer, I am not, but see the comments below and make up your own mind.) Now you can read this post… and wade through the 900+ comments! UPDATE: December 2013 Sorry about the legalish stuff, but I thought covering my back may not be such a bad idea. For conclusive advice on the payment of traffic fines received as a result of a trip abroad, I recommend contacting motoring organisations, embassies or the police in your country of origin. Any and all advice I have provided to others has been and is provided informally – I am not an authority, and have not made any claim to be.
If, by chance, someone has read this post, the comments, and then decided not to pay, then do not blame me if you end up with problems as a result. If I did, I would probably end up in big trouble here in Italy, and seeing as I live, work and have family here, I would like to avoid such a situation. I would like to underline that I do not suggest or condone the non-payment of fines.
