"Dad did this cost a lot of money" My son asked me that while we were about to return the car at Pisa airport. It was an early June evening and the sky was still a bit bright. The parking lot lights were on and I locked the Seat Arona. I actually felt pretty relaxed, because the most stressful part was already solved when I booked the car. The real reason I dared to book this car was the One-Dollar Freeze plan. When I first saw it I did not really believe it. It said I only needed to pay 1 dollar first to hold the car. The rest would be charged automatically before the rental started. I read the short note a few times and thought it was just 1 dollar. If something went wrong I could still change to another platform. So I went ahead and booked the Pisa car. There was still some time before the trip. I had to plan what to do with the kids, ask for leave from work and buy plane tickets. All the big costs came together. If I had to pay the full rental amount on that night my credit card would be under a lot of pressure. I still remember sitting in the living room with my laptop. The kids were doing homework beside me and I was doing math in my head. When I saw I only needed to pay 1 dollar now I felt my body relax. I thought ok at least I do not need to pay so much right away. Closer to the trip my bank sent me a message that the rest of the car rental was charged. The number matched the price for the Seat Arona and there were no strange extra fees. The money was taken some time before we flew to Italy. I could plan my budget early. When we finally arrived at Pisa airport around the end of May and went to the GOLDCAR counter in the evening I did not worry about my card failing at all. That night the air outside Pisa airport was a bit cold and my kid was sleepy. I pulled the suitcase and followed the signs to the rental area. When the staff at the counter asked for my booking details one thought popped into my head. If there was no way to book with just 1 dollar first maybe I would have waited much longer to book or even changed to some other way of travel. Now everything was set already. I just gave my license and booking to the counter staff and then went to pick up the keys and find the car. For me the most important thing was not how much money I saved. It was that when I planned this trip with my kids I did not have to push my credit card to the limit all at once. I could keep more money ready for flights and hotel. The rental payment was kind of frozen there and then taken when the trip got close. For a dad with kids this rhythm felt so much better and I was less nervous during that time. When I finished returning the car at Pisa and told my son the money was already taken care of I felt that this choice was worth it. QEEQ and this 1 dollar booking way really helped me a lot.
