The $1.02 million Avis class action settlement received preliminary approval from the court on January 20, 2026 and covers all United States residents whose private information was compromised in the data breach Avis experienced between August 3, 2024 and August 6, 2024.

Court documents state that approximately 299,006 people are covered by the Avis settlement.

The court-approved website for the Avis data breach settlement can be found at AvisDataSecuritySettlement.com.

According to the settlement agreement, class members who submit a timely, valid claim form can receive up to $5,000 in reimbursement of out-of-pocket losses stemming from the data breach, such as losses related to fraud or identity theft, credit monitoring costs, professional fees, and other miscellaneous expenses like postage and bank fees.

The agreement specifies that class members must submit proof, such as invoices or receipts, to claim this benefit. 

The settlement website says that all class members, regardless of whether they submit a claim for a documented-loss payment, may submit a claim form to receive an equal-share cash payment from the settlement fund, with no proof required.

Alternatively, class members can download a PDF claim form to print, fill out and return by mail to the settlement administrator.

All Avis settlement claim forms must be submitted online or postmarked by June 21, 2026.

Additionally, Avis, as part of the class action settlement, has agreed to implement certain business practice changes to enhance its cybersecurity systems and mitigate the risk of a future data breach, per the agreement.

The court will determine whether to grant the Avis settlement final approval following a hearing on July 28, 2026. Compensation will begin to be distributed to class members only after final approval has been granted and any appeals have been resolved.

The Avis class action lawsuit claimed that the rental car company failed to implement reasonable cybersecurity measures to prevent sensitive consumer information from being accessed without authorization in a data breach that occurred sometime between August 3, 2024 and August 6, 2024. Per the filing, private information that may have been compromised in the incident included names, driver’s license numbers, credit card numbers and expiration dates, dates of birth and phone numbers.
