Last week I hired a car at Madrid and I drove it south to La Mata.

I'm a slow careful driver but anyway today I received an email from Europcar informing me they received a traffic violation notice for the car on the date I rented it.

I think I gave rental company my Spanish holiday home address and now I'm back in zireland where I reside full time. I'm wondering now if the fine is posted to my holiday home at La Mata how can I pay the fine if I'm unable to receive it?

I return to La Mata in August

They should have passed your driving licence details to the DGT who will send the fine to the address on your licence. This has happened to me before. The car hire company took an admin fee from my credit card and I got the fine through the post a week or two later. 

Easy to pay online and cheaper if you pay it within a certain time limit. 

Hope you get it sorted.
