It started with money on my mind. I booked a car on QEEQ for my family, for a Tokyo trip at the end of August. I wanted a seven seat Toyota Esquire so we could put all the bags in and the kids could get in and out easily. The price looked okay at that moment so I just booked it. With kids, I like to lock things in early so I can feel calm. Some days later in the morning I was on the train and checking my email. I saw a new booking confirmation from them. I got a bit nervous. I thought maybe the car had a problem or the system messed up. I opened it fast and checked. The car group was still a seven seat automatic, the time was still around late August pick up in Tokyo and mid September drop off in Tokyo, but the order number was different. Then I saw a line that showed they were sending me more than thirty euro back. I was confused for a few seconds. In my head I was already thinking how many snacks I could buy for the kids with that money. Then I read the email more slowly and I remembered I chose a service called Price Drop Protector when I booked. The price went down and they had rebooked it for me at the lower price and sent the difference back. I checked my payment on my phone and saw the refund on the way. It really felt like I just found money. If I jump back to the night I booked the car it was very normal. The kids were asleep, the house was quiet, and I was alone with my laptop. I was checking Tokyo cars for a long time. I needed seven seats, automatic, and a rental company with okay reviews. I looked and looked and finally chose a car from CRQ CarRent. There were many extra options on the page and I wanted to skip them all. Then I saw this price protection thing. It said if the price dropped later they would rebook and send me the difference. In my head I said to myself, is this really true, but I also knew traveling with kids costs a lot. The service did not cost much so I clicked it. Days passed and I forgot about it. I was busy planning places for the kids, like zoos and museums in Tokyo. Then that new booking email came and it felt like a small gift from my past self to my future self. At noon that day I was in the office. Sunlight came in through the window. I was holding my phone, looking at the booking and doing exchange rate math in my head. I saw that the saved money could pay for an extra ramen meal in Tokyo and maybe a dessert for the kids. I did not do any hard work. I did not call anyone to ask for discounts. It was just book the car first and then some days later get an email and money back. The pick up time was still around late August in the morning, the same city, same level seven seat car. Our plan did not change at all. Only the price went down. For a parent traveling with children this kind of no effort saving feels very special. Around that time I opened my old booking again and compared the first price with the new one. I checked the old order number and the new one and felt very sure about it. I always thought saving money meant I had to check prices every day and compare many websites. Here they watched the price for me. I just clicked that service on a normal evening and on a random morning I suddenly had more than thirty euro to spend on my kids. When the Tokyo trip got closer I opened the new booking again. The pick up place was still the same Tokyo location. The time was still around eleven in the morning and the seven seat car was waiting for us. In my mind I only had two things left to worry about. How to set up the child seat and where to eat lunch after picking up the car. The money part was already quietly taken care of by that small price drop surprise.
