Agreed

I have an upcoming car rental in SJD which I booked online at a USD rate. I have heard similar stories - on payment they convert the USD into Peso at a very favourable rate to them, and swipe the card. Is there anything I can do with Avis beforehand to assure either I get charged in USD per my rate or at least get a fixed peso rate equivalent which I will be charged.
