Avis Car Rental Data Breach Settlement: Deadline Approaches for $5K Payouts

Avis Car Rental is offering reimbursement settlements of up to $5,000 to customers affected by a 2024 data breach, with a claim deadline of June 21. The incident, occurring between August 3 and 6, 2024, exposed sensitive customer data, including names, driver’s license details, credit card numbers, birthdates, and phone numbers.

Eligible U.S. residents who had their information compromised may submit claims for two types of compensation:

• Up to $5,000 for documented out-of-pocket losses.
• A pro rata cash payment, distributed after covering out-of-pocket claims and administrative fees.

Avis has denied wrongdoing but agreed to the settlement as part of a class-action lawsuit. Customers must file claims online at avisdatasecuritysettlement.com/submit-claim or postmark mailed submissions by the deadline. Those opting out of the settlement or objecting to its terms must do so by May 22, while a final court hearing is scheduled for July 28.
