Question 13829 — road safety

Summary

Mr. Bernard Brochand draws the attention of the Minister of the Interior to the implementation of the post-parking package (FPS) and its extremely damaging organizational and economic consequences which are currently weighing on shared mobility operators. Until January 1, 2018, rental companies had the possibility, in the event of a parking fine, to designate the tenant responsible. Now they must first pay the FPS payment then then turn against the tenant in order to recover the amount. This situation is extremely detrimental to the rights and interests of shared mobility operators as well as tenant customers. Indeed, current legislation does not allow these operators to transfer, in the context of their activity, the responsibility for paying the FPS to the actual driver of the vehicle. In the present situation, any clause introducing, into the general conditions of rental contracts, the automatic passing on of the FPS charge to the customer would be qualified as an unfair clause with regard to consumer law. This situation has considerable financial consequences and goes so far as to call into question the economic sustainability of shared mobility companies. Indeed, the FPS amounts are sometimes much higher than that of the average daily profit from short-term rental of a vehicle. Also, he asks what the Government's intentions are to remedy this situation.
