How did I save money even before I picked up the car? I kept asking myself this when I checked my booking for Milan. At first I just wanted a small car in Italy. Something like a Renault Clio was fine. Manual gear was also fine because my husband can drive it. I saw a good price on QEEQ and I booked it. I did not think too much. I was just counting how much this trip might cost. A few days later I was looking at my credit card bill and casually checked my email. I suddenly saw a new booking email and the order number was different. My first reaction was a bit of panic. I thought I made a second booking by mistake and that I would be charged twice. I opened it and checked it again and again. It was still Milan pick up and drop off. The time was almost the same. It showed pick up on May 28 in the morning around ten and drop off on June 1 around nine at night. It was just one day later than what I remembered. I started to wonder if I wrote my own dates wrong at the start. Then I scrolled down more and noticed the words Price Drop Protector and also saw the price was a little different. The new order was a bit cheaper than the old one. There was also a short note that said the price went down so the system changed my booking to the cheaper price and would return the difference to me. I was confused for a second and then it hit me. I did nothing and I suddenly had extra money to use. It was only about nine euros but for a student like me who counts every cost on a trip it felt pretty nice. I went back to my first confirmation email and checked it again. I saw that when I booked the car the page already showed this Price Drop Protector service. I honestly did not care much at that time. I just thought there was no harm to have it. Now when I compared the old and new emails I looked very carefully at the prices and terms. I finally understood that they were watching the price for me all the time. If the car price went down they would rebook it for me at the lower price and give me the difference back. I did not need to refresh the website every day and I did not need to cancel and book again. I was sitting in a cafe with my friend and we started to do the math. I put the two emails on my phone next to each other and asked her to find the difference. At first she thought the rental company had changed or the car was upgraded. Then I pointed at the few euros of price drop and she started laughing. She said I earned a free drink without doing anything. We really used that money and bought drinks at a small shop nearby. It felt funny and I said this drink was paid by the system. I am always sensitive about price changes when I book things. I had a bad experience with flight tickets before. I bought a ticket then the price went down a few days later. I felt terrible that time. When I booked this car I was a bit scared it would be the same story again. This time they kind of read my mind. When I saw the refund of the price difference I felt like someone was standing next to me and saving money for me even faster than I could. The best part was that I did not click any extra button and I did not contact support. I only got a fresh confirmation. The car group stayed the same. The pick up and drop off place stayed the same. Only the price was lower. I felt very relaxed because if I tried to rebook by myself I might make mistakes or worry that something would go wrong in the middle. Now it was more like someone told me we fixed it for you and you just need to show up for the car. As a visitor from the UK going to another country there are already many details to think about when renting a car. I have to think about insurance fuel and deposit. I really do not want to also check prices every day and fight with numbers. Price Drop Protector helped me with this small stress. It made me feel more looked after and less like I was alone racing against changing prices. When I saw the new booking and the lower cost in my email that day I felt that choosing them for this rental was really worth it because on the money side they were clearly on my team.
