The Hertz Corporation has reported a data security incident to the New Hampshire Attorney General, with a filing date of April 14, 2025. This notification indicates that personal information held by Hertz may have been involved in a security event.

While the public record does not specify the exact nature of the breach or the specific types of data exposed, the company has stated the matter is currently under investigation. If you received a letter from Hertz regarding this incident, it means your personal information was part of the data implicated in the event.

Upon receiving a breach notification, a primary step is to carefully review the letter itself for any specific guidance provided by Hertz. It may contain details about how the incident occurred or offer resources for affected individuals.

Regardless of the specific information involved, general protective measures are always advisable. Consider regularly monitoring your financial account statements for any unusual activity and staying alert for unsolicited communications that might be phishing attempts.

Many credit reporting agencies also allow you to place a fraud alert or security freeze on your credit file, which can help prevent unauthorized access to your credit. You can find instructions on how to do this on the agencies' websites.

  • Keep your notification letter

    Save the notice you received. It documents that your information was involved and is often needed to enroll in any credit monitoring offered or to join a related legal claim.

Hertz Corporation data breach notice and letter questions

Is the Hertz Corporation data breach letter legit or a scam?

Check that the company name and dates in your letter match that filing. A real notice of data security incident won't ask for your password, Social Security number or a payment — if it does, contact Hertz Corporation through a phone number or website you find yourself.
Where can I see the official Hertz Corporation breach notice?
Hertz Corporation's report is published by the NH Attorney General: https://mm.nh.gov/files/uploads/doj/remote-docs/hertz-20250414.pdf Compare it with the letter you received to confirm the dates and details match.
Did Hertz Corporation offer free credit monitoring?
Look for an enrollment code in your Hertz Corporation notice. Companies that offer free credit monitoring after a breach usually include it there, with a deadline to activate. Enrolling does not give up your right to bring a claim.
What should I do after getting the Hertz Corporation data breach notice?
Keep the letter and the envelope, and note the date it arrived. Freeze your credit with Equifax, Experian and TransUnion, change any passwords the notice mentions, and sign up for any free credit monitoring the letter offers. Then check whether you may have a claim.
Is there a Hertz Corporation data breach class action lawsuit?
Law firms often open an investigation after a breach notice like this one, and a class action lawsuit may follow. This page doesn't confirm that a lawsuit has been filed against Hertz Corporation. You usually don't have to join a class action to be included — if a settlement is reached, class members are notified and can file a claim.
Do I need a Hertz Corporation data breach lawyer or attorney?
Talking to a data breach attorney costs nothing here. A lawyer can read your notice, explain your rights under your state's law and tell you whether a claim makes sense.
How much could a Hertz Corporation data breach settlement or claim be worth?
There is no set amount, and no Hertz Corporation settlement is confirmed here. In past data breach settlements, payments depended on what data was exposed and on documented losses — fraud, out-of-pocket costs and time spent dealing with the breach. Keep receipts and records; they're what damages claims are built on.
Can I sue Hertz Corporation over the data breach?
It depends on what was exposed, the law in NH and your own state, and whether you've been harmed. Most people take part through a class action rather than suing alone. Keep your notification letter — it's the proof that connects you to the breach.
