If you broke the law you should pay the penalty.

Even if you do not pay it, the rental company will sue or demand for payment later after they pay it. In either case, you are just prolonging the agony.
I know you are thinking that because the car is NOT in your name that you are not liable. BUT, hey you signed a rental contract! What do you think about those voluminous small prints contain? Not only that you are prolonging the agony, you are also sticking it to yourself with more charges later. The rental company has a LOT of personal info on you already - where you live, your driver license, your credit card number, etc.
Be sensible and responsible. Unless, you can prove otherwise that the ticket was in error. Even then, you must pay first, then get a refund later. Else, you will be accruing a lot of the so-called other charges. READ the fine print for these charges. It is scary.
Worse, if you do not pay the rental company you may be liable for late charges and eventually a possible ding in your credit report.

I would. They will probably trace it back to you anyway since it would be easy to tell who had that car on the date the ticket was issued.
By the time the rental car company traces the rental car back to you and writes to you about the ticket, the fees will have fines associated with it.
It might be in your contract that they can bill you for the ticket so if you pay it now then you can save yourself about 20 more bucks.
(this would just be my guess, I have NO first hand knowledge either way)

Yes. The rental company will get the bill for the ticket, since the police know they own the car. The company will forward it to you, anyway. I know - it happened to me.

Yes. If you don't, they can track you down from the rental car agency. If you don't, you may have a hard time getting a rental car in the future. They may also be able to deduct it from your deposit since they don't want to pay your ticket.

Yes I believe you should. If you did do something unlawful it is only right that you do get a ticket. No matter if it is a rental car or not.

Yes. You will end up paying for it either way because the rental company will have your credit card info on file. I would be willing to bet that they will add some sort of surcharge to the intial fine.
pay now and save late.
