Photo radar ticket with rental car - Budget paid it off without letting us know
So we rented a van on a ski trip back in April and got dinged with a photo radar ticket in Montreal. We didn't get notification of this infraction until the rental car company (Budget) contacted us to let us know we owe $1XX.XX amount. They never showed us the actual ticket until we requested it.
We decided we wanted to dispute the ticket in court and let Budget know. But they told us we can't because they've already paid for the ticket and we have to pay them back now. Is this within the rental contract or their rights? I know any speeding tickets are our responsibility, but I thought we had the option to decide what we want to do (whether to dispute or pay it off).
Wondering if anyone had previous experiences with a situation like that.
