I was a bit worried when I first booked because I was going to Trabzon in Turkey alone and my budget was not very high. On the QEEQ site I kept doing math in my head while I looked at the car prices. I chose a Peugeot Traveller with Cizgi and when I was about to pay I saw there was a thing called Price Drop Protector. It said if the price went down they would rebook and give me the difference back. I thought the price should not change that much but I still clicked it. It cost me nothing extra and I did not need to do anything. A few days later I was planning my trip and I was thinking if I should go back and check the price again to see if it got cheaper. Then I felt tired just thinking about checking every day. In my head I said to myself that I should stop stressing and that it was good enough that I had a car booked. I put my phone away and tried to focus on other things. One day I was on my phone and I saw an email that said my booking was updated. My first reaction was that something went wrong. I felt a bit scared because I thought maybe the car was gone or I had to pay more. I opened the email and read it slowly. Then I saw that the price had dropped and they had already rebooked the same type of car for me and gave me some money back. I was a bit shocked and the only thing in my mind was that this thing actually worked and was not just some nice words on the page. The email showed how much I saved. It was not a crazy big number but for someone like me who travels alone every bit helps. I quickly started to plan how to use that money. In my head I was like this can be a few more Turkish teas in Trabzon or maybe one more dish at dinner. It felt like the trip suddenly got a little bit richer without me paying more. The funny part is that I did not change anything in my booking and I did not talk to customer service about it. It just happened by itself. Before this I even thought maybe I should wait a few more days before booking because prices might go down. Now when I think about it I am glad I did not sit there and refresh the price every day and delay the booking. I just booked the car and went back to my life. I waited for my visa and worked on my travel plan while they kept an eye on the price for me in the background. That day when I was packing my stuff in the living room I opened that email again and looked at it one more time. I started to recalc my total budget in my head and saw that I now had a small extra part because of the refund. When you travel alone and you have to pick up a car late at night in a new city there is some pressure. I always think about where I can save a bit so I have some backup money in case something happens. For other people this refund might just be a small nice thing. For me it felt like someone stood next to me and helped me save money. Now in my mind when I think about my pick up time in Trabzon which is around the night of May twenty first close to eleven I feel more relaxed. I know the car is booked and the price even went lower later. I do not have that feeling of regret that I should have waited longer. Before I often felt bad when I booked something and then saw the price fall later. This time because of Price Drop Protector my feeling is very different. I can book early and then focus on other things like checking the routes and reading about places around Trabzon. I do not need to stay in that loop of asking myself every day if I should wait. When the price really went down the work was already done for me and the money just came back on its own. When I think of this booking now the thing I remember most is not the car model. It is that moment when I checked my payments and saw the refund amount. I felt like I earned a small amount for free. I did nothing and I did not argue with anyone about the price. They just made the same car cheaper for me. As a solo traveler that feeling is quite rare and it makes my whole trip feel a bit lighter.
