Rental car - 'reasonable admin charges' for a parking fine

in Parking tickets, fines & parking
Unfortunately, I may well have got myself a parking fine this morning whilst driving a car rented from Enterprise.

I have looked in their T&Cs and it states that I am liable for any fines I incurr (fair enough), that they will take them straight off my credit card (ok, I can understand why) and that they will apply 'reasonable administrative fees' for doing so.

I just wondered what is classed as a 'reasonable' admin fee in this type is instance though. Anyone got any advice?

Thanks.

    When you say "parking fine". Do you mean a proper one issued by the council, or a fake one issued by a private parking company?
    What part of "A whop bop-a-lu a whop bam boo" don't you understand?

    Who issued the "fine"?
    what was it for?
    From the Plain Language Commission:

    Normally it's around £25-35 "fee".

    Although if they try and charge you that fee for a fake invoice, you can normally fight them and get it back as they breach their own T&Cs
