Only one card in Preferred profile and it is a Visa, with the checked box for accepting DCC unmarked since the card was added from almost 10 months ago.
Quoting the above because it's an SA rental.

I've just booked, through avisba.com (a UK website), a reservation in South Africa for next week. It's *not* a prepay rental. The website quoted me in GBP (£43.61) but the reservation has the below:

Please note AVIS is confirming a car group and not a specific model or engine.

43,61EUR
...? I know the pound is in the toilet, but it hasn't yet hit parity with the euro. And I'm expecting to get billed in ZAR anyway.

I normally rent through Hertz but they're sold out of cars at this location next week. Can anyone advise what I might actually get billed for this rental? And is Avis always this hopeless? And really, sending confirmation emails in plain text?

Thanks
