With Dollar, AA is still (AFAIK) $0.06/day, which is definitely worth it.

Also, at least with Dollar AFAIK, no hotel programs are charged the FFS fees, nor are foreign airlines.

That said, I'm not necessarily that familiar with the FFS policies of all rental agencies, so I can't say the above with 100% certainty. The above does apply to Thrifty, though.
