    Avis - Budget Class Action Notifications

    Roger, do you know anything about the Class Action Notices, being sent out by Florida Lawyers to people who have hired from Budget or Avis since June 2009?
    The action is being served in US District Court, Middle District of Florida on behalf of those who have paid for 3rd Party Liability coverage which violates Florida Insurance Laws.
    Very confusing.

    That was my first thought, but they are not asking for any money. There must be many of these letters being sent out. It appears that by doing nothing, we are included in the action.

    These class actions often happen. The lawyers get to take a nice cut off the top and you get sent a cheque if they win. It would cost you to much to do this yourself, but add a few million people to a class action and you can see the $$$ signs in the lawyers eyes.

    Just sit back and see if in a few years time you get sent a cheque. It does happen and I have had this happen to me before, plus I have had multiple letters for each of my trips.

    Regards Dave

    P.S. Should have said that it states you will get 3 times the actual damages or $200, which ever is greater for each instance.

    I'm afraid I can't assist. We have not deal with Avis / Budget for a long time. We dropped them mainly due to their poor customer service and habit of charging customers locally for things that they should not have been charging.
