Car Rented From The Turo App, Citation Received While Driving A Suspended License Plate In Nevada.

Location: UK

We’re from the UK, and hile staying in Las Vegas back in December, I rented a car through the Toro app for a day trip to the Grand Canyon. On the return journey, I was pulled over by the police for driving across a lane by accident, (it was night time and I was still getting used to some of the smaller lanes).

The Police officer was very pleasant, and he checked the details against my license plate. He came back and advised me the license plate had been suspended and shouldn’t be on the road. I was given a citation for a court appearance in March, and was told if I didnt attend then there would be a warrant out for me. I contacted Turo immediately.

It seems there was already an unpaid ticket out on that plate, but Turo assured me they would get the citation moved into the owners name.

They have now been in contact to ask me to send the court appearance info to the owner, I’m assuming for him to attend and resolve. I feel very uncomfortable leaving it up to the owner, if anything goes wrong it’ll be me who will get punished.

Their message was ‘Upon having this consulted with our local support, to resolve the citation received, you need to coordinate with the host to provide the details of the court appearance.’

Does anyone have any advice on what I can do to help my situation? Should I contact the courthouse myself?
