A second group of individuals insured in Pennsylvania by Travelers are now able to file a claim with a rental car class action lawsuit settlement — no proof of purchase required.

The settlement benefits individuals who had a Travelers auto insurance policy (or a policy through Travelers affiliates) in Pennsylvania and received one to 30 days of rental coverage after sustaining a total loss between Jan. 16, 2011, and May 28, 2021. 

Although many consumers are included in this Class, only some consumers are eligible to take action at this time. Group I in the settlement already received notice and had the opportunity to file a claim. Group II received a notice from the settlement in late March stating there was a mailing error. This group now has their own deadlines.

Travelers Insurance provides a number of insurance policies such as renters insurance, home insurance, and auto insurance. The company’s auto insurance includes coverage for liability, collision, personal injury, and other costs including rental cars.

Despite promising to cover rental cars in the case of a total loss, Travelers allegedly failed to provide all promised benefits to its consumers.

A class action lawsuit against the company claims Travelers failed to pay for the full 30 days of rental car coverage it promised Pennsylvania drivers. Instead, drivers were only covered for shorter periods of time, the plaintiffs contend.

Travelers hasn’t admitted any wrongdoing but agreed to resolve these claims with a class action settlement.

Under the terms of the Travelers lawsuit settlement, Class Members can collect a cash payment of up to $300. Payment amounts will vary depending on the number of car rentals already paid by Travelers.

Class Members who received payment for only one to eight days can recover $300. 

Those who received payments for nine to 15 days of rental car coverage can recover $200. 

Individuals who were paid for 16 to 25 days of car rentals can receive $75. 

Class Members who were paid for 26 to 30 days of rental car coverage can recover $25.

The deadlines for settlement Group I have already passed. Group I had until March 25, 2022, to exclude themselves, object to the settlement, or file a claim.

Members of settlement Group II have until May 27, 2022, to exclude themselves or object to the rental car coverage settlement.

Group II can file a valid claim form to receive a payment, but must do so by May 27, 2022.
