You have the right to protest a fee or charge the rental company charges you if it goes against the terms of the contract. If the terms say you have to reimburse the rental agency for any validly issued tickets, you have the right to dispute the validity with the rental company. If the contract says you have to reimburse the company regardless of the validity of the ticket, that's a bad contract and an unsavory business practice. I would hope that practice is illegal but if it's not, that's a totally different issue. You could also potentially dispute the charge through your credit card company if the ticket is not valid because then it's an invalid charge.

Also, if the rental agency is negligent in their responsibility to pay the ticket on time, you would have a great case for disputing reimbursement of the late penalties to the rental company. The ticket is charged to the company, it's their responsibility to pay it on time.
