That night I was sitting at my desk looking at car rental prices in New York and I felt a bit nervous. I needed a big car for everyone. On QEEQ I found a Ford Transit from Avis. It was automatic and had 12 seats. It looked perfect for our trip from New York to New Orleans. I looked at the price and talked to myself. I said do I wait a bit and see if the price drops. But I was also scared the car would be gone so I just booked it. When I booked I saw a service called Price Drop Protector. It said if the price went down they would book it again for me and give me the difference. In my mind I said it sounds nice but I probably will not use it. Then I clicked continue. I was just thinking about picking up this big van at the airport at around nine at night in late September and then driving away. I did not really think about saving more money. A few days later I was on the subway looking at my phone. I suddenly saw an email that said my booking price had changed. My first thought was that something went wrong. I opened it fast. The email said they found a lower price for the same car and the system had already moved my booking to the cheaper one and they would refund the price difference. I just thought in my head is this real. I did nothing and I already saved money. When I got home I opened the website and checked the order numbers. I still remembered my old order number. Now there was a new order but the car was still the Ford Transit from Avis. The time was also the same. I would still pick it up around nine at night on September twenty first in New York and return it on October second at night in New Orleans. The only thing that changed was the total price. I told my friend. I said my car got cheaper after I booked. He looked shocked and said you just made free money. I felt super happy. It was like I suddenly got extra pocket money. Later I thought about it. Without this Price Drop Protector I would never check the price every day. I would just accept the first price and move on. Now they watched the price for me. When it dropped they acted for me. I just got an email on my phone and my money came back. For a student like me who needs to watch every cost this difference is like a few extra meals. The funny thing is I did not need to call anyone. I did not need to chat with support or argue about the price. I did not even need to click some confirm button. The price went down and they already fixed everything for me. I just kept planning my trip and then one day I saw the refund. In that moment I felt really surprised. I realized it was smart that I chose this service at the start. Now when I talk with friends about car rentals they are still trying to compare which website is cheaper. I tell them my booking was not the cheapest at the start. It became cheaper later. They always ask me how that is possible. I just say the platform watched the price for me after I booked and it could still go down. For me it feels a bit magic like someone is standing behind me and helping me protect my wallet. When the travel date got closer I looked at my booking again. I did not feel the same worry and stress as before. The pick up and drop off times were clear. The car was still the same big van. The amount I needed to pay was just less than before. In my head it felt like this booking not only solved my ride problem but also helped me save real money.
