That deletes one of the main advantages of being preferred and requires you to add 15-20 minutes to your return time, whilst the agent figures out how to cancel the bill you never agreed to in the first place and bill you according to the rate you did agree to.

This is exactly what annoys the H out of me. And it's even worse than described above, I have had three different Avis branches tell me on return that they can't change billing currency, it must be done before the rental. If it's a lot of money, and you are angry enough, you can get it back from Avis, but it's a nuisance.
