Can a car rental price really help me save money or is it just a slogan I see online? That was my first thought when I booked my car in Budapest through QEEQ. I chose a big 9 seat Ford Tourneo with automatic gear around the middle of June and I saw a service called Price Drop Protector. It said if the price went down they would rebook and give me the difference back. I was thinking in my head if this could really happen or if it was just some words on the screen. Some time later I was at home scrolling on my phone. I suddenly thought about this booking and I felt it was a bit expensive. I was asking myself if it would be cheaper if I booked earlier or later. In my mind I was a bit annoyed but I also felt I had no choice. The order was already confirmed and I was planning my trip from another country. I did not want to spend more time checking prices again and again. After a while I got a notice from them that the price of my booking had changed. I got nervous right away. I thought maybe the price went up and I had to pay more. I opened it and then I saw the reason. The price went down and they already made a new cheaper booking for me. They also gave me back the difference in ILS. I could clearly see that I was paying less money now. At that moment I was really surprised and in my head I said to myself that this service was actually watching the price for me. I remembered when I first ticked Price Drop Protector. I just clicked it casually. I thought it would not hurt and maybe it would never be used. I did not expect it to really work. I did not do any extra steps and I did not talk to customer service. They already fixed everything and created the new order. The old order just became the past one and I only needed to follow the new booking details. The money I saved might not be a huge amount for some people but for me as a tourist it means one nice meal or some extra small gifts. In my head I compared this with the other way. If I had to check many sites and refresh the price every day I would feel tired and waste a lot of time and I still might miss the right moment of the price drop. This time it felt like I earned money for free. I did not spend more energy and I still saved money. I also did not need to worry about some strange rules. I just waited and kept my plan. Later when I talked with my friends about this booking they all thought I paid a lot for such a big car. I felt a bit proud and told them that the price went down later and they sent the difference back to me so I kept more budget for my trip. My friends asked if I watched the price every day. I said no it was the Price Drop Protector that did that. Inside I felt that this kind of auto saving feature is really nice for people like me who do not like to fight for every small price change on our own.
