I was in the USA (New York) for a visit and my car got towed. I parked in a non-marked disabled parking lot (“sorry sir, but we thought you're a resident… and they know…”). The police released the car and told me to pay the fine online a few days after. Court appearance required is not marked on the fine (there is a field for it). And they told me, no you can pay online.

Now when I want to pay online, it says that the fine is not payable and court appearance is required. What should I do now? I am back in Dubai and can not fly to the US for such a small thing. What should I do?

    How long ago did you receive the ticket? – Andrew Lazarus Dec 4 '17 at 18:47

A parking ticket in the US is issued to the registered owner of the car. Since your ticket was issued to the rental car company, it's the rental company's ticket. The rental company has already settled the ticket with the court, and you've already settled with the rental company. If either the rental company or the court told you that you don't have to appear, then you are okay.
