What's Dollar's FF Surcharge for US?
What amount does Dollar charge for frequent flier surcharge for US Airways? Can't find this info on Dollar's site or via FT search.

$1.95 per day.
For the record and for others searching, the revised surcharge amounts are thus:
UA: $1.95 per day, capped at $5.45
US: $1.95 per day, capped at $5.00
WN: $1.50 per day, capped at $8.00
AS, CO, DL: $0.95 per day, no cap
NW, HA, Best Western: $0.50 per day, capped at $2.00
AA: $0.06 per day (this is in negotiation), no cap
All other partners incur no surcharge.

Thanks, Jackal. That's a very interesting spread. Do they show up as separate charges on the receipt or are they lumped in with other fees/taxes.
I just had a Thrifty rental that had UA as my airline partner and I couldn't see a separate fee listed.

Very interesting...I thought all FF surcharges at all rental car companies was $.50 per day/$2 max. Did it used to be this way?

Warning: It is not possible to remove your FF and avoid the surcharge, even if you attempt at the counter. I recently rented at DEN and saw the upcoming $8 charge before renting the car - but since I had entered it when I made the online reservation, the agent was unable to remove the charge EVEN BEFORE I SIGNED THE AGREEMENT AND RENTED THE CAR. Dollar Corporate Customer Service says this is normal, and can't be modified.
