Can a rental car price really go down and still stay booked for me? This was the first question in my head when I made this booking. That night I was on QEEQ booking a car in Tirana Albania for my family. We wanted to drive around with the kids at the end of April. I picked a Fiat Panda from otoQ with manual gear. It is a small car but for us as a family with kids it is enough. When I first made the order I kept thinking about our budget. Flight hotel food tickets already cost a lot. I told myself the rental car should not go over the plan. I remember I looked at my phone and said to my partner I could wait a bit and see if there is some deal. She was packing stuff for the kids and said the time is getting close and if we wait too long maybe the car is gone and that would be trouble. On the page I saw something called Price Drop Protector. It said if the price goes down later for the same car they will auto rebook it for me and give me back the difference. I was not totally sure it would work but I also liked the idea. I said to myself if it can really save some money then it is like extra ice cream money for the kids. So I confirmed the booking first. We planned to pick up the car in Tirana on the evening of April twenty third one day earlier than the original idea. I wanted the kids to have more time to rest. When I paid I joked to my partner. If this thing really saves us money I will take you and the kids to one more nice meal. A few days later I was at work during lunch break and checked my email. I suddenly saw a mail about a new order and the number was not the same as the old one. My heart jumped. I thought maybe the booking failed. I opened it very fast. Then I saw the old order was changed to a new one. The car group was the same and the time and place were the same but the total price was a bit lower. I stared at my phone for a moment. I checked the amount a few times and then I realized it was the Price Drop Protector working. They saw the Fiat Panda price was lower now and moved my booking to that cheaper price. I did not click anything and I did not call anyone. At that moment I smiled and thought so prices can really go down. At lunch I told my coworker about it. I said the car I booked became cheaper and I even got money back. He thought I was joking so I showed him the mail. He looked at it and said you kind of earned free money. I thought about it and it felt true. The amount was not huge but for a family trip with kids every bit we save counts. It can mean one more coffee or a small gift and that changes the mood of the day. In the evening at home I told the story again to my partner. She was getting things ready for our Tirana trip and asked me if I had called customer service or changed the booking by myself. I said I did nothing. It just changed to a cheaper price on its own. She laughed and said then we can use the saved money to buy postcards for the kids. Later I opened the order again. The dates were already the ones we adjusted. Pick up in the evening of April twenty third and return in the afternoon of April twenty eighth. Everything was clear. I felt a small but real sense of peace. It was like someone was helping me guard our budget in the background. I did not try to study how they do it on their side. For me as a parent who already has many details to think about with kids I only need to see one thing on my phone. The total price went down. After this experience my feeling about Price Drop Protector is quite simple. I did not expect to save money. I only wanted to book early so I could stop worrying. Then it quietly gave me a bit more travel money. For a family like us who needs to watch the kids and also watch the cost this small surprise is important. The difference is not big but the feeling that our budget is cared about is very real. And I remember that this booking was made through QEEQ.
