Customers impacted by a data breach involving Avis Budget Group in 2024 may be eligible for compensation of up to $5,000 as part of a proposed settlement. The breach, which occurred from August 3 to August 6, allowed hackers to access sensitive personal information, including names, driver's license numbers, credit card details, birthdates, and phone numbers. Although Avis denies any wrongdoing, the company agreed to the settlement to resolve the ongoing litigation. The settlement is specifically for U.S. residents whose personal data was compromised. Affected customers can submit claims for reimbursement of documented expenses related to fraud or identity theft, capped at $5,000. Moreover, customers without documented losses may still qualify for a cash payment, which will be distributed evenly among approved claimants after expenses are covered. To participate, claims must be submitted online or postmarked by June 21. A final court hearing regarding the settlement is set for July 28 in federal court in New Jersey, where the judge will review the settlement terms.
