Avis data breach settlement
Yes. The Avis data breach settlement is real: a $1,025,000 class action settlement in federal court, District of New Jersey, run by Angeion Group. The claim deadline, 21 June 2026, has passed and the judge’s final decision has not been posted.
Claims closed on June 21, 2026 and the final approval hearing was set for July 28, 2026. The official site has not posted the judge’s decision.
Is it real?
Yes. The case is In re: Avis Rent A Car System, LLC Security Incident Litigation, case number 2:24-cv-09243, in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey. The court appointed Angeion Group to run it, and its only official site is avisdatasecuritysettlement.com.
How the real notice reached people. The administrator mailed a Short Notice to class members. The notice says it is court authorized and “not a solicitation from a lawyer, junk mail, or an advertisement.” The official site does not publish a sender email address or a scam warning.
To tell a real message from a scam:
- The only official site is avisdatasecuritysettlement.com.Type it into your browser yourself rather than tapping a link. Claim pages on news and lawyer-advertising sites, and lookalike addresses, are not the administrator.
- Filing costs nothing.No real settlement charges a fee to file a claim or to release a payment. Anyone asking for one is running a scam.
- Nobody needs your passwords.The administrator never asks for your Avis password, your online banking login or a code texted to you. Payment details go only into the claim form on avisdatasecuritysettlement.com.
- Check by phone.If you aren’t sure a message is real, call the administrator on (888) 818-4234, the number on avisdatasecuritysettlement.com, not one in the message.
- Claims have closed.The deadline was 21 June 2026. A message now urging you to file a new claim, or to pay or “verify” your bank details to receive money, is a warning sign. Check on avisdatasecuritysettlement.com instead.

The breach, and what to do today
Between on or about August 3 and August 6, 2024, Avis had a security incident in which certain personal information was exfiltrated. Avis disagrees with the claims and denies wrongdoing.
What was exposed: names; driver's license information; credit card numbers and expiration dates; dates of birth; phone numbers.
A settlement pays for what already happened. The data is still out there, so do these now:
- Freeze your credit.In the US it’s free at Equifax, Experian and TransUnion, and no one can open credit in your name while it’s on. Lift it for a day when you apply for credit yourself.
- Get an IRS Identity Protection PIN.It stops anyone filing a tax return in your name with your Social Security number. Request one at irs.gov/ippin.
- Watch your statements.Look for small charges you don’t recognise and report them to your bank. Ask for a new card if a full card number leaked.
- Put a PIN on your phone account.Ask your mobile provider for a port-out PIN or number lock, so no one can move your number to their SIM.
- Distrust messages about Avis and this settlement.Breach data is used to make scam messages personal enough to believe, for years afterwards. Go to the company or the official site yourself.
To see which other breaches your email address is in, search it on Have I Been Pwned, then read Breaches.
Not published yet
The administrator and the court had not published these when HARD checked on 7 November 2026, so this page doesn’t guess:
- How much each person’s cash payment will be. It depends on how many people claim.
- When payments will be sent.
- Whether the judge has granted final approval (the hearing was set for 28 July 2026).
