When I first saw the bill I was a bit confused and I thought in my head hey why is this cheaper than I remember. Then I realized it was because I chose Price Drop Protector when I booked with QEEQ and it really saved me some money. I am from Switzerland and I was flying to Fukuoka in Japan. A few months before the trip I was already checking car prices on their site. Cars in Fukuoka were not so easy to get and I liked this small Suzuki Hustler from HM Rent a Car. It was automatic and looked very cute in the photos. In my mind I was already thinking it would be fun to drive this car on the streets of Fukuoka. The price at that time was okay for me so I just booked it. Some days before my flight in mid August I wanted to check my booking again. I saw a note that my order was updated and my first thought was oh no maybe the price went up. I kept talking to myself in my head while I opened the details. Then I saw the amount and it was actually a few dollars less. I compared the old email and the new info and I saw the old price there and the new lower price. They had already rebooked it for me and sent the difference back. In that moment I felt a small surprise. It was like I suddenly got a bit more travel money for free. Seven dollars is not a huge number but it is not nothing. In Japan that can be one or two drinks or some snacks from the convenience store. I remember thinking wow it really changes the price by itself and I did nothing at all. I arrived in Fukuoka on the evening of August thirteenth. The summer air was warm and a bit heavy and the airport was not very crowded. I was already picturing in my head how I would pick up the car the next morning. I went to get the car on the fourteenth around ten in the morning. I pulled my suitcase to the small counter of HM Rent a Car. The staff there was calm and polite. They put the contract in front of me. I checked the total price again and it was the same as the updated one with no strange extra charges. When I saw that number on the paper I thought again about that small price cut and I laughed a little inside. It felt like I had picked up money from the ground. It was not a lot but it felt like someone was helping me save money in the background and I only needed to choose the car and show up. I was a bit worried before about automatic rebooking. I wondered if maybe my car would be gone or if they would ask me again for some documents. In the end for me it was very quiet. One day I just noticed the price was lower. That was all. When I came to Fukuoka the car was still ready for me. The rental staff knew about my booking and there was no confusion at all. During the days I drove in Fukuoka I sometimes thought about this again. At night when I went back to my room and lay on the bed with my phone I would suddenly think if I did not use this service I would not have this little extra money now. I am still a student and I need to save for my trips so every small saving feels real. I also told my friends about it. Some of them never heard of this kind of auto price refund and they thought it was just some kind of ad. I told them my trip was a real example. Before the trip even started the difference was already back in my hands and all I had to do was wait and then pick up the car. For me Price Drop Protector feels like an extra thin safety layer besides flights and hotels. Car prices can go up and down and I cannot check them every day. This time it felt like someone was watching the price for me. When they found a lower one they moved me to that and gave me the difference. As a young person this makes me feel more relaxed and the pressure on my budget is a bit lower.
