Frequently asked questions
We’ll contact you by email to let you know as soon as possible.
If your email address has changed, please email customerservices@arval.co.uk with your account number and new contact details.
These can be issued in cases such as unpaid or illegal parking, speeding, unpaid tolls or congestion charges, ultra low emission zones and bus lane penalties.
We charge a £15 administration cost (including VAT) for each fine received. This covers the time and work involved in processing each fine.
If you disagree with a fine and have valid grounds of appeal with supporting evidence, the Fines Team can provide you with a letter of authority if you wish to appeal yourself.
This process varies between parking authorities, so check the notification you’ve received for details of the issuing authority and how to appeal.
Alternatively, the Fines Team can raise an appeal on your behalf, simply click the link below and complete the form.
If your appeal is successful and the fine is cancelled by the issuing authority, we will refund our administration charge. Please email proof of cancellation to fines.team@arval.co.uk to request a refund.
If you choose not to pay a fine or penalty charge notice, you may be taken to court and this could lead to a judgement against you costing significantly more than the initial charge. A County Court Judgement (CCJ) could also be issued or the debt passed to bailiffs. If you fail to pay a parking fine and this is escalated back to Arval, we will pay the fine and recharge the cost to you.
If you disagree with a fine or Penalty Charge Notice, please follow the appeals process.
