However, I had gotten a ticket before in my neighborhood for a license plate problem, so I knew the local police paid attention to that, and I insisted on another car.
Another option is to have the rental car agency indicate on your vehicle inspection sheet that the plate is missing, and have the manger initial or sign the checksheet. Then if you get a ticket, the rental agency would have little recourse but to pay the ticket.
