What information car rental companies pass to the police if the car has been caught speeding?

Hi,

In a situation when one hires a car and then commits a traffic offence, in many cases the police asks the rental company to provide driver details so they can charge a fine directly.

What information does the car rental company provide to the police? Is it just name and address of the driver or is it something else such as passport number or driving license details?

      I think the police know who they’re dealing with when they stop you. Cars don’t speed people do.

      in many cases when pulled over they run your drivers license and that is where they get your information
      if its a photo ticket they will get your name and address from the rental company or the rental company will send you the ticket

      If you were stopped the information they need is obtained by the driver

      If in fact the car was involved in lets say a hit and run where the police did not pull the driver over, the rental car company will provide the officers your name, DL number, address, etc

      The police including driver license numberpassport number etc where it otherwise merely renting car would exempt you from all traffic laws.

      The few times this has happened at my counter provided law enforcement officials with copy of any information knew from talking to answer your question.
