There are locators for surcharge-free ATMs, at least in the US. I haven't searched recently since the debit card I use, Fidelity, reimburses ATM operator fees. Generally speaking, bank branded ATMs (that aren't in partnership with Euronet, Travelex, etc. type of ATM operators) have no or lower fees.
I don't worry too much about DCC at ATMs since, aside from one instance from
klashn in Mexico, it's been possible to opt out.
