When I first booked on QEEQ I actually felt a bit nervous. I was flying from the US to La Serena in Chile. I did not know the place and I still had to reserve a car. The thing that really made me click the button was the payment option called One-Dollar Freeze. When I saw it I felt much more relaxed. I only needed to pay 1 dollar first to lock the car. The rest of the money would be charged automatically before the rental started. I felt I had some room and I did not need to put a big amount on my credit card at once. I remember I was at home using my laptop, checking cars in La Serena. On the screen there was a Hyundai Kona, automatic, five seats. It looked perfect for the places I wanted to visit. I stared at the total price many times and thought about my other expenses. I did not feel very sure. Then I noticed the note that said I could just pay 1 dollar now. It felt like I found a small deal. I told myself I could just lock it first and think later. At least I did not need to pay the full amount right away. When I made the booking it felt pretty easy. While I typed my details I did not have that heavy feeling that a lot of money would leave my card at that second. It showed that only 1 dollar would be taken now and the rest would be charged some days before the start around March 25. This was really good for someone like me who likes to fix plans early but does not want a big charge on the card so soon. Later, when it got close to March 25, I checked my statement and saw the rest of the payment went through normally. I did not have to set a reminder or anything. It was simple and I did not worry much. On the night of March 24 I stood by the hotel window looking at the lights of La Serena. I suddenly thought that if I had needed to pay everything at once at the start, I might have hesitated a lot more or even skipped this booking. Now when I think back, that 1 dollar already kept my Hyundai Kona with Avis for March 27 at 1 pm in La Serena. My mind stayed calm during those weeks because my booking was safe but my money was not all gone from the card. When it was almost time to pick up the car I thought again about One-Dollar Freeze. The best part for me was the light feeling at the start. There was no interest and my credit card did not feel under pressure. I just waited for the date, saw the final charge go through, and got ready to go to the Avis counter to pick up the car. For an overseas visitor like me, this payment style made it easier to fix my plan early and still keep my head clear and my card under control.
