BA Avis Booking - Currency
Until now I've always used pay upfront, but with the uncertainty of flights operating over the coming holidays, I'd prefer to ensure everything can be cancelled without fees. If I book car hire through the BA Avis site in the EU for payment on collection, the price quoted is still in GBP. Will I be charged in GBP or EUR? Wondering which credit card to use.

If you book a prepay rate with BA ( a BA Holidays package anyway) it is charged to you in GBP and then you get a 'voucher' which the local Avis office then uses to pay for the rental (sometimes with currency movements you can end up with a small extra charge, but never a refund!)
