SUBTOTAL 20.59 A

LOCATION SURCHARGE 22.91 A
CREDIT CARD FEE 5.00
VAT 5.87

TOTAL CHARGES 54.37 EUR
EXCH RATE (Incl Conversion Charge) 1.103
CARD TRANSACTION AMOUNT 59.97 USD

I have been offered a choice of currency and chosen to
pay my rental charges in the currency of my card.

Super pissed, obviously no one asked me or 'offered a choice of currency'

I don't know if this is still true, however, that last time that I checked with Avis a couple of years ago, the only option to opt out of DCC was offered when adding a new credit card to your profile.
