Let me complain first. For a parent like me, booking a car is already a headache. In the end it was the price difference that really shocked me. When I saw the new booking price I just stared at the screen. It was more than eighty euros cheaper than my first booking. It felt like free money. For a second I thought something went wrong. I booked the car on QEEQ because I wanted to drive with my kid in Ponta Delgada in Portugal. The plan was around the end of July to early August. I remember picking up the car around the afternoon of July 30 and returning it around the afternoon of August 6. I was not looking for a fancy car. Just a small Opel Corsa manual from ABBYCAR. Four doors and five seats are fine. We are two adults plus one kid and one child safety seat so it fits well. When you travel with a kid you carry so many things. I was checking the map and thinking about luggage and at the same time looking at the price and worrying about the budget. When I booked the first time I already spent a long time comparing. The price looked okay so I just paid. In my mind I told myself it is fine. When you travel with a kid you should not fight with yourself too much. Later I got a new confirmation email. The amount looked much lower than what I remembered. I checked the old and new price and the difference was more than eighty euros. That is enough for several good meals in the city. Then I noticed I had chosen Price Drop Protector. This service watches the price for you. When the car price goes down they make a new cheaper booking for you. I did not need to do anything with the old one. They just give you back the price difference. For me it felt like I just booked once in a normal way and then one day I suddenly found extra money saved. For a parent traveling with a kid this feels really nice. I still got the car I needed and the child safety seat was arranged. At the same time my budget did not break. I planned to use that saved eighty plus euros during the trip with no guilt. When I arrived at Ponta Delgada airport to pick up the car I was still thinking about it. Without this price protection I would probably still feel bad about spending too much. This kind of automatic saving is much better than me checking prices every day and it also saves my time and energy as a so called careful dad.
