The business had previously entered a not guilty plea to the charge at an earlier hearing on August 24.
The court heard from the prosecutor that the business, based in Stanner, Kington, had failed to identify the driver of a Ford Transit van who was alleged to have been guilty of an offence to police in Crownhill, Plymouth, on March 1 last year.
Ken's Tipper Hire Ltd was fined £900 for the offence.
The business was also ordered to pay prosecution costs of £660 and a £90 victim surcharge, which is used to help fund services supporting victims of crime.
