First I have to complain a bit. When you travel with kids you have to pay big money for everything. Flights and hotel and tickets for places. My credit card always feels very close to the limit. Renting a car is also something I must do. On a place like Saint Thomas in the US Virgin Islands it is very hard to move with a child and luggage without a car. I was ready to pay a big amount again. Then I saw on QEEQ that I could use One-Dollar Freeze and only pay 1 dollar first to book the car and the rest would be charged later. I felt my whole body relax. I want to start from the end. On the day I returned the car it was around March 19 around noon. The sun was a bit strong but the wind felt nice. I drove back to the Saint Thomas return location. My kid was sleepy in the back seat and everything went very smooth. At that moment I remembered when I booked this Budget Nissan Kicks. I was so unsure back then. As a parent I must book everything early. I was afraid that if flights or plans changed I would have too much money stuck in bookings and feel a lot of pressure. Those days I kept doing numbers in my head and my credit card limit was close to the edge. When I was choosing the car on their site I liked this small SUV with automatic gear and 4 doors and 5 seats. It was perfect for a family and also for the stroller and bags. I was thinking that they would take a few hundred dollars right away. Then I saw the One-Dollar Freeze option. It said I only need to pay 1 dollar to lock the booking and the rest will be charged before the rental starts and there is no interest. I really did not believe it at first. I read the info many times. When I saw there were no strange extra fees I finally clicked confirm. On the payment page the 1 dollar amount looked so light. It felt very different from those usual big prepayments. My mind was much more calm. There was still some time before pickup. I still had to work on the visa papers for my kid and buy flights and book hotels. Money was going out in many places. Because the car booking only took 1 dollar at the start I felt I could breathe. My credit card was not fully blocked by one payment. Later closer to the trip I got the charge notice. The amount was just what I saw before with no extra random fees. Everything was simple. When we arrived in Saint Thomas it was around the afternoon of March 12. At the counter the worker checked my booking and my license and it was done very fast. When they brought out the car I looked at the trunk and I was happy with my choice. The stroller and suitcases and my kid’s small backpack all fit inside. My child kept asking if this was our car and it felt like we had a small family car for some days. For a parent like me the biggest feeling is that the money pressure is not so hard. I did not need to block a big rental amount on my card one month before and then worry if I still have enough for hotel and flights. I could pay step by step. The money for the car came out closer to the start date. When we were on the island in Saint Thomas my mind was more on the beach and the roads and my kid’s safety. I was not still stressed about some huge payment in the past. During the whole trip the car part became the easiest thing. It was because I only paid 1 dollar first to hold the car and then just waited for the automatic charge with no interest or strange extra cost.
