The price on my phone changed a little and I was just sitting on my sofa at home with a cup of coffee that was almost cold. That day I had just booked a car on QEEQ for my trip from Manchester to Edinburgh in late June. The car was a Ford Focus from Alamo with automatic gear. I chose it because I thought it would be easier for me to drive. I remember when I saw the first price I was doing some math in my head. I thought this price is okay and still inside my budget. If it was a bit higher I would start to think too much. I pressed confirm and felt a bit nervous and also happy. Some time later my phone made a small sound. I thought it was just a message from a friend. When I looked I saw it was a new booking notice from them. For a second I was confused. I said to myself did something go wrong with my first booking. I opened it fast and then I saw it was because of Price Drop Protector. When I booked I knew I had this service but to be honest I did not really expect it to do anything. I just thought it is there and it does not hurt. Now I saw the new booking price was lower than before. I checked the numbers and saw I saved a bit more than one hundred kronor. I whispered to myself I did nothing and the price went down. It felt like finding some money in an old jacket pocket. It is not a huge amount but it suddenly makes your mood better. That day I was also looking at my calendar and planning the trip. At first the plan was to arrive in Manchester on the nineteenth in the afternoon and pick up the car around four. Later I changed my own plan and moved everything one day earlier. I decided to pick up the car on the eighteenth in the afternoon and give myself more time to settle in. For the return I also pushed it to the evening of the twenty fourth so I would not rush on the twenty third. I thought the car is already booked and I can play with the time a bit. While I was doing this they already helped me save some money so I felt even more calm when drawing circles on my calendar. In my head I also saw again the moment when I clicked confirm. At that time I was thinking maybe I should wait a bit and see if the price will drop. But I was scared that the car would be gone. As an overseas visitor it is not easy if you arrive and then still need to look for a car. Now I see that Price Drop Protector solved this problem for me. I could lock the car first and if the price dropped they rebooked it and gave me the difference. I did not need to watch the price every day. I was already busy checking food in Manchester and places to visit in Edinburgh so I really did not want to open the booking page again and again. Later I told my friend about this. During our chat I said my rental price went down by itself. He looked surprised and asked how did you do that. I laughed and said I did nothing. The service did it for me. We joked that it was like the system fought a small battle for me and I only looked at the result. I liked that everything felt very natural. I did not have to apply for anything or send any email. I just made a normal booking and after some time when the price changed they gave me a new cheaper one. The price difference came back to me and I could feel it in the numbers. For someone like me with a student kind of budget this money can mean one more dinner in a restaurant or one more ticket for a place I want to see. In my head I thought my UK trip just became a bit more worth it. When I checked the booking again I even compared the old and new prices. I remembered the first amount quite clearly. When I saw the new one I had this small happy feeling. It showed that they really saved this money for me and it was not just a promise in words. Before this I was not sure about these price protection things. I was afraid they were only nice text on a website. When it happened in my own booking I started to trust it more. During the whole thing I did not talk much with customer service because I did not need to. This also made me feel the service was like a helper in the background. It did the thinking for me even when I did not see it. As someone coming from another country I already worry about language and rental rules. Now at least with the price I do not feel I will pay too much and have no way to complain. That night when I turned off my phone screen I felt quite relaxed. I thought to myself it is nice that I only need to plan my trip and not worry about every small coin. When the time comes and I go to the UK I know I will remember this small story of Price Drop Protector and how it gave me a little more room in my budget.
