That night when I returned the car in Bangkok it was raining and the airport lights were on the wet ground. It looked a bit like a scene from a game. I suddenly thought one thing. I locked this Toyota Yaris with just one dollar and the whole trip felt very easy. Why did I feel that way? I was traveling alone and I already paid for flight and hotel. My credit card always feels tight. When I saw One-Dollar Freeze on QEEQ my first question was is it really only one dollar first. Is there some trick. I checked the price a few times. It did not change so I decided to try it. When I booked it felt kind of strange. I was renting the car for a few days but my credit card only showed a one dollar charge. Nothing else moved. In my head I asked where is the rest of the money. Will they suddenly charge everything and push my card over the limit. In the next days I just planned my trip like normal. I used my money for tickets and rooms first. My card limit stayed safe and it was not locked by the car rental fee. Sometimes I remembered this booking and did a small calculation in my head. If I had paid full amount at the start maybe I would be more stressed when I booked hotels. One or two days before the rental started I got a payment notice from the bank. It was the fee for the Toyota Yaris. I checked the number. It was the same as my order. No extra money and no interest. I felt pretty lucky. If I did not choose this way maybe I would have felt nervous about money the whole time. On the pickup day I went to the counter in Bangkok and saw the car. A small question came into my mind. If I had only looked and did not use this One-Dollar Freeze would I still drive this Yaris now. The car was clean and I drove alone through the city. At night I watched the lights along the road and I thought about this again. If I did not pay only one dollar at first maybe I would think too long and even give up renting a car. For someone like me with a tight budget this style of paying one dollar first to lock the car and then letting the rest be charged automatically really helped me spread out my credit card pressure. I did not worry that my limit was fully taken. I also did not worry about any interest. The whole thing felt simple. When I returned the car I took my stuff out and saw there was no extra charge. I only had one clear thought in my mind. Renting a car can be like this. First feel relaxed with just one dollar then pay the rest later. One-Dollar Freeze is actually very friendly for a solo traveler like me.
