At first I was a bit nervous because I was going to Los Angeles alone to rent a car and my credit card limit was not very high. I booked the car on QEEQ. The car was a Toyota RAV4 from Budget with automatic gear and five seats. When I saw the total price I started to worry. I began to count my other expenses for this month in my head. Then I saw something called One-Dollar Freeze. It said I only needed to pay 1 dollar first to lock the car and the rest would be charged automatically before my rental started. In that moment the problem felt less scary. I thought about it for a while. If I paid the full amount at once my credit card might be under a lot of pressure, especially because I still needed the card for other things before the trip. So I chose One-Dollar Freeze. When I paid it really only took 1 dollar. I checked the page again and again because I was afraid I read it wrong. After that one dollar was charged my booking was confirmed. I felt much lighter. The car was reserved and my card was not hit by a big payment. In the next few days I kept planning my route. Sometimes I thought about the car and went to check the booking. I still had a small worry in my mind that maybe later they would charge some extra fee. My pick up time was also a bit earlier than the original plan. I finally went to the Budget counter in Los Angeles on June 23 around two in the afternoon. The staff did the normal process for the car. When I checked my credit card record I saw that the rest of the rental cost was charged automatically before I picked up the car. The amount was the same as I saw before and there was no strange extra money. Because I only paid 1 dollar at first I did not feel much pressure on my credit card. I still had enough limit for other things after buying my ticket and I felt more relaxed. I am not very good at money planning but this way of paying with One-Dollar Freeze was quite good for me as a solo traveler with a limited budget. It felt like I could reserve the car first and let my card handle the full cost a bit later.
