"Did you really book the car with just one dollar" My friend looked so shocked on video. I laughed and turned my phone to show the confirmation email and said, "Yes, the rest will be charged before I pick up the car." I booked the car on QEEQ. This time I was going to travel around Knock in Ireland. It was around the evening of June 16 when I reached the airport. The sky was still bright and the air was a bit cold but very fresh. I felt relaxed because the car was already booked before I left home. The funny thing was that when I made the booking my card limit was not very high. That night at home I was checking different cars on the website. I saw a line that said One-Dollar Freeze. It said I only needed to pay 1 dollar first to lock the car and the rest of the money would be charged before the rental started and there was no interest. I stared at that line for a while. I had just one thought in my mind. This way my credit card pressure is much lower. I did not need to swipe a big amount at once. I clicked and chose a Volkswagen Polo with manual gear. It is a small four door car and looked good for narrow roads in Ireland. I also added one extra driver so I could share the driving. When the final page came out it showed I only needed to pay 1 dollar now. I felt a bit nervous but also excited. I told my roommate, "I will try this. If it really only takes 1 dollar that is great." Then I put in my details and hit confirm. My phone showed a charge and the amount was really just 1 dollar. In the next days I did not do anything else. Sometimes I opened my email to make sure the confirmation was still there. Every time I saw it I felt more calm. One or two days before the trip I noticed the rest of the rental fee on my credit card bill. Then I remembered that they had already charged it automatically. I did not need to click anything and I was not charged any strange extra money. Around the evening of June 17 when I walked out of Knock airport with my suitcase and went to find the rental car desk I was very calm. The payment was already done in steps. I did not need to pay a big bill at the counter and did not worry about card limit problems. For a student like me who has to count every cost this payment way is really friendly. Later I talked with my friend about this booking. He asked me what part I liked the most. I thought for a moment and said, "The One-Dollar Freeze idea is really smart. I am not the kind of person who always has a lot of money in the card. I can use 1 dollar to lock the car first and let the rest be charged later. It makes the pressure much smaller for me." After hearing that he said he also wants to try this way next time.
