The car door closed and my kids were already fighting for the window seats in the back. I sat in the driver seat and watched the evening lights of Milan turn on one by one. In that moment I felt really glad that I booked the car on QEEQ. When I first tried to book the car my budget was very tight. Before a family trip there are so many things to pay. Flight tickets, hotels, visas and daily costs. All of them pushed my credit card to the limit and I was counting money every day. I wanted a bigger car in Italy like a BMW X5 so my kids could sit more comfortable and the trunk could hold our bags. But this kind of car is not cheap and I was scared to pay the full amount at once. I worried that my card limit would be too low. Then I saw something on the page called One-Dollar Freeze. The name caught my eye. I read the simple note and understood that I could pay only 1 dollar first to lock the car and the rest of the money would be taken automatically before the rental started. I thought this is like giving me some time to breathe. So I chose this payment way. That night I paid the 1 dollar and when the booking success message popped up I checked the payment again. It really only took that small amount. I felt a big part of my pressure go away. My kid asked me if the car was booked. I said yes and told them it was a big car so they could stretch their legs. In the next days I focused on other parts of the trip. I confirmed flights and hotels step by step. Because I did not need to pay the full rental fee right away I did not panic so much and I did not rush to gather all the money at once. A while later about two days before our trip to Italy I saw my credit card reminder. It showed that the rest of the rental fee was taken automatically and the number was the same as I saw before. There was no extra charge. I felt this slower payment way was really good for a parent like me who has many big expenses before traveling with kids. When we landed in Milan I was no longer worried about the rental payment. It was already done before and I only needed to go to the car rental counter. On the way I kept thinking that if I had to pay the whole amount at the start I would have been worried about my card limit all the time and I would keep doing math with all other costs. My mood would not be so relaxed. This time it felt different. At home in the weeks before the trip I used just 1 dollar to lock the car first and then had time to prepare the rest of the money. When the time came the system took it automatically. I almost did not need to think about it and the pressure on my credit card was much lighter. For someone traveling with kids feeling relaxed is very important. This One-Dollar Freeze way felt like a simple and useful little idea that made this car booking very easy for me.
