It’s only when the parking ticket is ignored that the car rental company receives the payment notice and they pay the fine and then they take action against the renter to recover the cost of the fine and add their administrative fee.
this is NOT true; you clearly have not dealt with rental car companies in this regard. they find out about the ticket because the ticketing agency sends a notice to the car owner regardless of whether the ticket has been paid.

Uh ... Because it wasn't grand theft auto. (BTW, it's not capitalized, unless you're talking about the 1977 Ron Howard "vehicle.")

For the last time, unless you don't intend to return the car, it's joyriding (unauthorized use) at most. Since you handed over the keys, it's not even that. A minor civil case maybe.
