I disputed the overcharge with Chase and they are crediting me for the difference.
I guess I will have to wait for the monthly statement to see what currency conversion rate they used and if this is a case of DCC shenanigans. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a way to see the foreign transaction rate on the Chase web site.
Avis is a well known merchant with DCC. Do you have an electronic receipt from Avis that shows any indication of DCC?
You're right that there is no way to tell if you've been hit with DCC using a Chase card - at least that I'm aware of - until the statement prints. The statement will show a currency conversion if one occurred (using Visa). If you got hit with DCC, there will just be the single line item with the USD amount.
