Eighteen-year-old Anton from Ekaterinburg faced an unexpected fine of 135,000 rubles from the "Citydrive" service for a violation he claims did not occur. At the end of June, the young man rented a Haval vehicle to go with friends to Degtyarsk. A few days later, he received a notification about a fine for "transferring the vehicle to another person."

According to the E1.RU portal, Anton left the car in a parking lot with the engine running because it was cold outside, and his friends and a 12-year-old brother of one of them were inside the cabin. While the driver stepped away, the child moved to the driver's seat. This moment was noticed by a passerby, who took a photo and filed a complaint with the car-sharing service.
"Citydrive" considered the situation a breach of the contract conditions.
The customer support told Anton that there is a video supposedly showing the boy driving the car. However, they refused to provide the recording, offering only a photo—allegedly a screenshot.
Later, the "Citydrive" press service announced that an investigation was conducted and the fine would be canceled since the car was not moving at the time the photo was taken. The service also promised to review protocols to prevent similar situations in the future and apologized to the customer.
Lawyer Artem Shulman explained that disproportionate fines are common practice among car-sharing services. Although the contract could formally be considered violated, the amount of the fine is clearly exaggerated.
