AI Review Summary
Based on recent customer reviews, Aarto is facing significant frustration from motorists attempting to dispute infringements and resolve administrative matters. A recurring theme is the difficulty reaching the organisation through phone or email channels, with customers consistently mentioning unanswered correspondence and unresolved disputes stretching across months or years. Reviewers describe challenges with the representation process, identity theft cases, and enforcement orders that block licence renewals. Several note that fines continue escalating despite formal submissions, and many feel the system lacks accountability and fair treatment across road users.

Harrasment by Aarto for a non-existant infringement.
And another good day You didn’t answer my letter; instead I got another Sms that says “no payment may lead to an enforcement order”. I will be glad if you can stop this harassment immediately. Your own webpages confirm that I.ve got nou outstanding fines. Good day I received an sms about a so called infringement. It referred to an infringement on 27:12:2025. I went all the way to the Pretoria North Post office early in January, got the letter and paid the fine of R232 on the 24th of January 2026. And now this absurd (courtesy!) letter. Yesterday I went all the way to the Pretoria North Post Office to get this ABSURD letter (RF721 96220 7ZA). It is INSANE. It says that I failed to comply with certain conditions; the fine is R250+60=R310. I am not going to pay this because it’s about something that doesn’t exist. It cost me time and petrol to drive to Pretoria North each time. It seems that there is a problem between you and Fines SA, who wrote a letter to tell me that About Aarto’s website belongs to them. I paid the fines through them. It seems that there is also a problem with a fine for an infringement on the N2 near Swellendam in May 2023 for which I paid the R600 on 26th of June 2023. I will surely not pay through Fines SA again. I would be glad if you can sort this out and let me know. Louis F van Deventer Yesterday I received an sms ith an enforcement order; sying that licence and vehicle renewals are now blocked. This is insane. This is the address on their webpage, but they say they use another address. I also tried [email protected] and [email protected] and also finessa.co.za

Aarto is another government institution used to ***** citizens money
I received a fine which I proved it was wrong, the cameras do not read the correct speed of the car. I am one of the victims of this method that is being used in South Africa to ***** people to make payments of fines that are false. I contacted them and I was told to fill a form and months later no one responded instead the fine keeps going up. I am pretty sure that whoever was accessing my case saw that the information they provided was fabricated. These people are here to help the government to continue to ***** citizens. You will call, email however you will never get feedback

Incorrect infringement no help
I received an infringement about going over the speed limit when I enquired I couldn't even see the number plate of the car, I checked my speed and saw that I was way below the limit, infact I drove at 40km. I contacted aarto and was informed to fill in a form and ending it for enforcement which I did this was last year however no response and the infringement is still showing. I went to the JMPD offices in JHB and was given 2 more firms with a different email address to send to for revocation and still no reply. When you call the contact center they tell you they cannot see the email or information sent to back office, they give you a number to call it rings with no answer, you call again they keep you on hold and then disconnect you The first agent was ohk even with less info the second was just rude and the third well disconnected the call

AARTO/JMPD Administrative Failure
I am writing this out of pure frustration. I am a victim of identity theft, and the systemic failure of AARTO and JMPD is currently stripping me of my right to drive. Despite following every legal procedure, I am stuck in a loop of zero accountability. In December 2025, I discovered four infringements from 2021 (Notices: 0100110297730964, 0100110297730972, 0100110303014719, and 0100110303014726) for a vehicle that I have never owned or driven. These were issued during a period when my driver's license had been lost and *****ulently used by someone else.

AARTO: What a conundrum
AARTO Review I am quite impressed that AARTO is trying to bring in stricter measures, but I do not know how these will be implemented as our roads’ infrastructure is so defective. Often drivers cannot see the lanes in which they are driving, there are potholes everywhere and traffic lights often do not function. It is as if COJ uses very bad, cheap paint as the areas that are re-painted are often hardly visible 3 months down the line. When last have we seen yellow lines being painted? I wonder if people even know that one cannot park on yellow lines. Frequently I see people just parking in the middle of the road to make a call with their hazard lights on. No evidence of the yellow lines that were there before. And, why are there these strict measures for most tax paying drivers but the mini-bus taxis seem exempt from all rules and regulations? How is this fair? Is this Animal Farm where some are more equal than others? How can laws be imposed when a huge sector of the community is exempt in terms of these rules and laws? I cannot see how AARTO can enforce these measures if everyone cannot be treated EQUALLY. I can see many issues being contested in court unless ALL are treated equally and the infrastructure supports the rule of law. R.R-Taylor. [email protected]

Mr
Good day, since the new Aarto system was introduced, I received various fines for traffic infringements. One of these vehicles does not belong to me and the registration number is also unknown to me. On the other fines I was not the driver of the vehicle. I was then told about the Aarto n07 document that you complete, certify and send to the authorities. Once I registered my battle started - there is no contact detail where to send these documents to, I send it to x5 different e-mail adresses that I found on the web as well as per registered post to Halfway house. The telephone numbers display on the internet for the different areas does NOT exist or are o.o.o. They keep on sending reminders to pay these fines but I am not liable for these fines. Once you pay a fine you actually acknowledge guilt, and all I want to do is to transfer these fines to the persons that was in charge of the vehicles.

FINES FROM 2020 - *****?
Hello how does a person try to get hold of AARTO, I received an sms from Jhb Municipality to say I had fines outstanding, these were from 2020. I then investigated with Pay Fine which shows me the fines but I have no visual of the actual fine - how do I know that these are my fines - and when I try and register on the AARTO website with my I.D. it does not register in my initials. Please advise? AARTO
