At first I actually wanted to complain about myself. I always feel like a person who loves to compare prices will suffer when renting a car. I needed a nine seat car in London, like a Ford Tourneo. In summer the price can change a lot. I was ready to be tortured by the price again. I booked the car on QEEQ and then I found I really had nothing to complain about. I was kind of happy instead. The whole thing is a bit funny. When I placed the order I was still thinking in my head. Should I refresh a bit more and see if it gets cheaper. In the past I would check again and again on my phone and my laptop. I would compare every site and also worry that the car would be gone if I waited too long. This time I told myself I just book first. I wanted a nine seat car with Alamo in London around mid July. Pick up in the morning and return a few days later in the evening. So did I keep watching the price later. To be honest at the start I still wanted to. I am young and I like to save money when I can. But after a couple of days I got busy planning the trip and talking with my friends about the schedule. I stopped thinking about the price so much. One day I opened my email and looked at the bill. I was really confused for a second. My first question in my head was this. I did not change my booking. Why is the price lower now. I checked again and saw a message from them. It said the price went down and they used Price Drop Protector to auto rebook the same type of car and send the difference back to me. In that moment I had one thought. Did I just earn this money for free. I did not do any extra step. I did not talk to customer service to ask for a discount. I did not cancel and rebook by myself. Now the price was even lower than what I saw when I booked. I checked the car type and the time again. It was still a nine seat automatic. The only change was that I paid less. I asked myself another question. Without Price Drop Protector would I even notice this price drop. Most likely not. I am flying from the Netherlands. I have to think about the weather in London and the traffic and my friends schedule. I need to think how we go from the airport to the city and how we put people and luggage in the car. I really will not check car rental prices every day. The price goes up and down all the time. I am not a trader. I am just a normal young person who needs a big car. Does this saved money help me. Of course it does. With exchange rate plus fuel and parking costs the total is not low. The forty something euro I saved is enough for a few simple lunches. Or a few more coffees with my friends. Maybe this is nothing for rich people. For someone like me who counts small costs this is real extra budget. If I compare this to the old way I see a big difference. Before I had two choices. I could stare at the price page every day and refresh non stop. This made me feel very nervous. Or I could stop looking after booking and tell myself to accept it even if the price goes down. This time it feels like I gave the job of watching the price to them. I just focused on the trip plan and on how to share things with my friends. When I thought about that later I felt pretty relaxed. I even showed off a bit to my friend. I said look. After I booked the car the price went down and they sent the difference back to me. I did nothing and still saved money. My friend did not believe it at first. He thought maybe I called someone to argue or I canceled and booked again. Then I showed him the record. He said this kind of service fits people like us who have no time and do not want to lose money. When I look back at the whole thing the part I remember the most is not the car model. It is how Price Drop Protector feels like a small helper watching the price for me. I was not bothered by a lot of complex steps. I did not feel regret that I booked too early and paid more. The booking stayed confirmed. The car was still there. I just paid less. This feeling is quite nice. I first thought this London rental would make me complain about price again. It turned into a story I tell other people now. I say that the platform checked the price after I booked. When the price went down they helped me save some money. For me this kind of money that I save without doing anything is more impressive than any big sale sign I see at the start.
