I want to say the result first. On this Amsterdam booking I paid about 118 euros less than my first price. I did nothing and the money just came back to me. In my head I only had one thought. Good that I booked this with QEEQ. Around the beginning of August I planned a trip to the Netherlands. One part of my plan was to drive in Amsterdam. I checked many options and in the end I chose a Toyota Corolla Estate with Budget. It was automatic with four doors and five seats. I felt it was good for my luggage. When I saw the price on my phone I still felt a bit unsure. Part of me wanted to wait for a cheaper price. At the same time I was scared that the cars would be gone. So I just booked it. When I booked I saw a service called Price Drop Protector. The basic idea was if the price went down later they would book again for me and give me the difference. In my mind I thought it was like a free security net. I clicked it and did not feel I would lose anything. Now I jump back to a few months before that. It was around spring. I was still comparing different sites. I remember one moment very clearly. I just finished a coffee and was lying on the sofa and checking my email. I saw one email about my booking price. My heart dropped a bit because I thought it was about a higher price. When I opened it I saw that the new price was lower. The email text was very simple. It said they had locked a cheaper deal for me and that I saved money from my first booking. I checked the amount and saw 118.40 euros. I actually laughed. It felt like I just earned money for one more night in a hotel. The funny part is that I did nothing in this whole process. I did not cancel and book again. I did not compare any new deals. I did not even know on which day the price went down. What I could feel was just this one moment when the email came and told me I saved money. In my mind I saw a picture of myself at Amsterdam airport when I pick up the Budget car. I knew I was paying less than many other people with the same car company. That gave me a small secret happy feeling. My booking was for pick up in Amsterdam on the evening of August eighth and return on August twenty fifth in Amsterdam too. Because of Price Drop Protector I never checked the price again before the trip. Normally I hate the feeling that maybe I paid too much and I need to watch the price every day. This time it felt like someone else did this boring job for me. I only needed to think about going there and picking up the Toyota Corolla Estate. Everything about the price was in their hands. Sometimes I thought that without this service I would probably open my phone every day and refresh the price and ask myself if I booked too early or too late. When I put this 118 euros into my travel budget I saw how important it was. I first planned a normal guesthouse in the Netherlands for one extra night. With this money I changed to a better room. At that moment I understood that Price Drop Protector was like something that quietly added money to my travel plan. I did not spend extra time and I did not use extra brain power. I just booked once and later the saving came by itself. For someone like me coming from another country to visit the Netherlands things are already a bit stressful. I do not know all the local rules and I am always afraid to make some small mistake. Having this automatic price drop refund made me feel a lot more relaxed. When I thought about other platforms I felt that on many of them I would just keep my first price and never know if the price went down later. That sad feeling of missing a better deal did not happen this time. When I remember that email I still think that this way of saving money is something I really want to use again.
