Did I just get some free money This was my first thought. A few days ago I booked a car on QEEQ for my trip to Geneva. I only wanted to lock in a car and feel safe. Then I suddenly saw an email that said my booking was changed and I got some money back. I froze for a second and thought maybe I clicked something wrong. The amount was small maybe a bit more than ten francs so I got curious and wanted to know what happened. That day was just a normal work day. I was working late in the office. I was checking meeting notes and flight times at the same time. I needed to go to Geneva for business at the end of June. I planned to arrive around June twenty seventh in the evening and pick up the car around five in the afternoon local time. My plan was to rent a car from Alamo at Geneva. I chose a Peugeot 2008 type car with automatic gear four doors and five seats. It looks okay for business and meeting clients. I compared prices on a few sites. The difference was not very big. I chose them because the page was clear to me and also because I saw a service with an interesting name. It was called Price Drop Protector. I asked myself if this thing really helps. How much can it save I was thinking like that. Then I answered myself. I did not need to pay extra for it so I just took it as a small protection. I care a lot about budget when I book things. Company rules have a limit for each trip so every small saving matters to me. To be honest I did not really expect it to work. I just felt it was nice to have. After I booked the car I went back to my project work. My plan was to arrive in Geneva around June twenty seventh pick up the car in the evening drive to the hotel in the city and then go to the client office the next morning. I also planned to return the car on June twenty ninth in the evening so I kept some buffer time in case the client asked for dinner or one more meeting. A few days later I got an email that said there was a new price for my booking and I got around fifteen francs back. My first reaction was to ask what is going on Did they charge me wrong the first time I also asked myself if I should call them right away. Then I calmed down and read the whole email first. I learned that Price Drop Protector was triggered. They found a lower price for the same car and the same plan. They rebooked it for me at the new price and sent the price difference back to me. In that moment I felt a bit surprised and also amused. On one side this automatic refund fits a business traveler like me. I do not have time to watch prices every day. On the other side I was thinking that without this service I would never know the price went down. I would just pay the old price pick up the car and return it and that is it. For someone like me who cares about small numbers this felt like easy profit. I asked myself again was the refund a lot Is it worth talking about The answer is simple. The money was not a big amount. It may not even pay for a full lunch. But for the experience it changed my view of them in a good way. I did not have to do any extra steps. I did not need to change my plan. I still fly at the same time. I still go to the Alamo counter at the airport in the evening around June twenty seventh. I still return the car in the evening on the twenty ninth. My whole trip stays the same. Only the bill is a bit lower. When work gets busy I often talk to myself in my head. I ask if this thing really saves my time. This time my answer is yes. Price Drop Protector watched the price for me so I did not need to check it during breaks between meetings. When I later see the report for this trip and notice the number is a bit lower I feel that I helped the company save some money and I also did a better job with my own budget. Now when I look back this story is actually very simple. There is no big drama. It is just a normal business trip with a small surprise where I found some money coming back to me. For me this kind of small event is better than big ups and downs during a business journey. It is quiet but real and it fits my life as a business traveler.
