When I booked the car, the first thing I cared about was not the car, it was how to pay for it. My credit card limit is not very high and I still need money for other things, so I felt a bit nervous. On the website I saw the One-Dollar Freeze option. At first I did not really trust it. I thought in my head, does it really take only 1 dollar now, maybe there will be some strange fee later. That night I stayed at home and checked the price many times. I did some simple math with my budget for the next days. The more I thought, the more I felt that paying a tiny amount first and letting the rest be charged later would be nice. In the end I decided to try it and I clicked this payment option. When I made the booking it only charged 1 dollar. When I saw the bill I felt much more relaxed. My credit card did not take a big hit and that was a big relief. After one or two days I checked my email and my card record again. I wanted to be sure it was really just that 1 dollar. There was no extra charge, so I felt safe about it. As the pick up date in Lisbon came closer, I sometimes thought about it and inside I said, I hope the next payment also goes smoothly. One or two days before I needed the car, the rest of the amount was charged automatically. I saw the payment notice and the number was the same as before. Then I felt the whole process was simple. I did not need to click anything more or worry that I forgot to pay. On the day I picked up the car I went to the counter near the airport and got the Peugeot 2008. When I sat in the car, it hit me that paying just 1 dollar at the start really made the booking feel lighter. If I had to pay the full amount right away, I think I would spend a long time thinking and trying to calculate everything again and again. This way my money moved only when it was needed. For me the whole experience felt like taking small steps. First I paid a very small amount, then the rest was paid closer to the trip. My mind stayed calm. I also told my friends about it. They were curious how I could lock a car with just 1 dollar at the beginning. I explained that for me the main feeling was less pressure, especially when I did not want my credit card bill to suddenly look very scary. For someone young like me, this kind of payment plan fits well. I can secure the car first and I do not need to put out a big amount right away. It really makes my credit card feel less heavy.
