You may still be charged with conversion.

I often rent with AVIS but only recently I detected the fine print you are mentioning.
All my bills showed Euro. However, they converted Euro to US $ and than charged my Euro CC with Euro ... higher than the amount of the bill.
Last time when I returned the car I asked the Avis agent to change this. He did. By now are NO charges on my Euro CC card?!? And I returned the car to FRA one month ago!?!

Is there a way to change that default option
"the clause that we "are informed, and agreed" to have local currency converted to our billing currency" when we make a reservation or even better in the account?
