Do I say it straight I really thought this booking was doomed. What about the money What about the kids plan And with what happened to my family I was completely lost. So how did it go In the end I only remember one thing. Someone was there for me the whole time. I planned to take my family to Sicily around mid May. The car was booked already. Pick up at Palermo airport and return at the same place a few days later. I chose a seven seat Peugeot 5008 because we travel with kids and have a lot of bags and I wanted everyone to be comfortable. Then a few days before the trip I got a call from home. My grandmother passed away. I was sitting in front of my computer with flight and hotel emails open and only one question in my head. Do we still go The answer was actually simple. Of course we do not go. Family comes first. Then the next question hit me. What about the car What about the money I opened the booking and saw it was already in the charge period. My heart sank. I did a quick count in my head and saw I would lose a good amount as a cancel fee. I felt really upset. On one side was the funeral and the sadness. On the other side was the money. It is hard to say you do not care. So what was my first move I contacted them right away. I did not expect much. I just explained that a close family member died and I could not travel. I was worried they would think I was making excuses. The person on the support line did not sound cold. They asked me gently what happened. I shared a bit and I could hear their tone change. They said they understood my situation and told me not to worry too much about the fee and that they would try to help me. What happened after that For me it felt like they kept saying one thing. Do not stress. They asked me to provide some proof. At first I hesitated and thought do we really need to make it so formal Then I told myself this is how rules work. I talked with my family and we prepared the document and sent it over. After sending it I was very tired. During the day I was busy with family matters and only at night I had time to check emails and messages. Did they just ignore me during that time No. They reached out a few times to give me updates. They told me they were talking with the other side and checking my case and that I should not worry too much. Every time I saw a new message I felt a bit of relief. I thought at least someone is on this problem. I am not alone in this. That feeling is really important when things at home are already a mess. Where was the key turning point One day I saw their update saying the other side agreed to waive the cancel fee and a refund would be processed. I read that line again and again. I only had one thought. Good thing I reached out. Good thing they kept helping me. To be honest I was ready to lose that money. It was my trip that got cancelled. Even with a strong reason many companies just follow strict rules. This time they really stood by me and kept talking for me. For a parent like me with kids and elderly to care for what is the biggest fear when you travel It is to face problems and have no one on your side. It is to be told it is all your own fault. This time it was the opposite. From start to finish I felt someone was following my case. It was not just one cold message. They checked details with me step by step and gave simple but warm updates. That feeling of we are working on it came through very clearly. When I think back I feel that if it was just a normal support system it might have ended very fast with one line saying no refund. Instead I did not lose that fee. The trip did not happen but my mind was lighter and I could focus on my family. The Dedicated customer service that followed my case and treated me like a real person changed my view of this platform. A trip can always be planned again. In a very hard moment in life having someone stay with your case from start to finish and really look after you means a lot to a parent like me. It felt like I was cared for not just as a booking number but as a person and that is why I still remember how QEEQ helped me through this time.
