Avis Data Breach Settlement 2026 -- File a Claim by June 21 for Up to $5,000

What happened

Class period: August 3, 2024 through August 6, 2024

Between August 3 and August 6, 2024, Avis Rent A Car System experienced a data security incident in which unauthorized parties exfiltrated customers' personally identifiable information. The compromised data includes names, driver's license information, credit card numbers and expiration dates, dates of birth, and phone numbers.

A class action lawsuit -- In re: Avis Rent A Car System, LLC Security Incident Litigation, Case No. 2:24-cv-09243 -- was filed in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey on behalf of all U.S. residents whose private information was exposed. Avis denies any wrongdoing, but both sides agreed to settle to avoid the costs and uncertainty of continued litigation.

If you received a notice from Avis or have reason to believe your information was compromised in this incident, you may be eligible to file a claim. You rented a car. They lost your data. The least they can do is send you something back.
