I will start with the feeling. It was like I saved money without doing anything and as a mom traveling with kids that feels pretty nice. I booked my Dublin Ireland rental on QEEQ because I planned a summer trip with my child. I was going to pick up the car around the afternoon of July 19 and return it on the afternoon of August 3. The car was from Keddy by Europcar and it was a Volkswagen Golf automatic. Not very big but good enough for us. After I booked I did not look at the price again. To be honest my brain is already tired from the kid and the trip planning. I have no energy to check prices every day and do all the math. When I booked I only remember I clicked a service called Price Drop Protector. I just thought in my head if this thing really watches the price for me that would be great. Some time later I saw a new order email in my inbox. At first I thought I made a mistake. I got nervous for a second. My first thought was maybe I created another booking and now I would have to explain a lot. I opened it and read it slowly. Then I understood it. The price for the same car went down and they had already made a new booking for me with the lower price and they would give the difference back to me. For a moment I was just staring at the screen. My inner voice was like so this thing really works and it even works in a way that saves me money. The amount I saved was not huge. It was around ten euro. But with a mom budget that is enough for some extra snacks at the supermarket or a simple lunch with my kid. The more important part was that I saved this money without doing anything extra. I did not change the car type. I did not compare new prices. I did not worry about messing up my trip plan. I just waited for summer and the system watched the price in the background. When it found a cheaper one it moved for me and then told me the result. I am usually a bit scared of all kinds of smart saving tools on platforms. They sound powerful but using them feels tiring and full of rules. I am always worried I will miss some small condition. This time the Price Drop Protector felt very simple. From my side the story went like this. First I booked the car. Then I focused on planning the trip with my kid. One day I got an email that said the price went down and they had already changed my booking and the money difference would go back to my account. All I needed to do was check the email and make sure the information was right. I did not need to call the rental counter or talk to customer service. I did not even chase the exact time of the refund. I just cared that the number was correct. When I think about flying with my child to a country that is new to us there is already a long list in my head. Road rules time zone weather and my kid’s mood. Every part can be stressful. So it feels good that someone helps me look after at least one tiny part of it which is the price. Car rental prices can change really fast. Before this I would just give up or keep refreshing the page hoping for a better deal and then let my mood go up and down with it. This time I booked once and they watched it for me and later gave me a small money surprise. As a mom I really like this kind of service that quietly saves money for me. It is not a big loud surprise. It is more like on a normal morning I open my email and see that my budget has a little extra space. By the time I actually fly to Dublin in July and pick up the car I will probably have already spent that extra money on my kid somewhere else. But knowing that the rental cost for this trip went down a bit on its own still makes me feel more relaxed.
