I wanted to keep things simple at the start because flying alone from Australia to Ireland already made my budget pretty tight. When I saw the One-Dollar Freeze on QEEQ my first question was is it really just one dollar at the beginning. I checked the price again and again and I also looked at my credit card bill. Then I clicked book. I knew I would pick up an SUV like a Nissan Qashqai in Dublin and drive quite a lot so the cost would not be small. If they took the full rental amount at once my card would feel very heavy that month. How did it feel to pay only one dollar. It felt like I locked the car first. After I paid that one dollar my mind felt lighter. I told myself I can fix my route first and then adjust other costs later. At that time I was still checking flights and rooms. I always remembered I had a car booking but I did not feel that stress where all the money is gone in one shot. Days passed and my plan was to arrive in Dublin around the evening of May twentieth and return the car a few days later. When the trip came closer I asked myself again will they suddenly charge some extra fee. I checked my credit card and saw that before the rental started they took the rest of the car cost in one clear payment. There was no strange extra charge and there was no interest. At that moment I felt safe and my early worry seemed a bit too much. When I finally flew into Dublin and walked out of the airport with my bags I knew the car was already booked and the money was already charged days before. I only needed to find the rental counter and give my documents. On the way I thought if I did not have this one dollar option I might have delayed the booking because a big charge at once would block my card. Then the price might go higher and I would feel more stress. With this way someone like me who travels alone with a limited budget can still plan more stops and more days. They let me pay one dollar first and then charge the rest later so I feel I still control the rhythm. I do not need to take out a big sum all at once and I do not get any interest on top. For me the moment of booking did not feel heavy. It made me brave enough to plan a richer trip.
