When I think about this business trip and the car rental, I still feel it was pretty easy. I booked the car on QEEQ. That day I was at home planning my schedule. My flights were booked. The hotel was booked. All the meetings were fixed. The only thing not confirmed was the car. I knew I would arrive in Newark around June 3 and finish near Fort Lauderdale around June 15. I needed a big car for my coworkers and our luggage. When I saw a car like a Chevrolet Suburban in that group, I felt calm right away. On business trips I always worry a bit about my credit card limit. The flights and hotels are already on my card. If the car rental also takes a big payment at once, I feel some pressure. That day I saw they had something called One-Dollar Freeze. I was curious. I checked it and saw I only needed to pay 1 dollar first to lock the car. The rest would be charged before the rental started and there was no interest. My first thought was that this was perfect for someone like me who travels a lot for work. In my head I quickly went through my recent big payments. I knew if I put another full rental charge on my card right away it would feel heavy. I told myself I should just lock the car now since it was only 1 dollar. When I clicked confirm I felt relaxed. It was like I got a place in line without paying everything at once. After the booking I went back to my work emails. I did not feel that I had another big cost on my card. I just kept in mind that the rental amount would be taken before the trip. A few days before my flight, I remembered the booking and checked my credit card bill. I saw the charge went through as expected. There were no extra fees and nothing strange. At that moment I felt I made a smart choice with this payment plan. When I finally landed in Newark, it was in the afternoon around June 3. I pulled my suitcase to the Thrifty counter. In my head I was already thinking about the meetings and the cities I had to visit. Since I only paid 1 dollar at the start I did not worry about the payment anymore. I could focus on my work plan instead. At the counter the staff checked my booking and it was smooth. I just showed my documents and the booking. The car was a big one in the same group. The space was enough. My coworker even said the car felt very roomy when he got in. On the road from Newark down to Florida, I sometimes thought about this payment method. At one dinner some coworker complained about high credit card bills. In my mind I compared my situation to his. I felt I planned this part pretty well. When I returned the car around June 15 at noon in Fort Lauderdale, I felt calm. There was no extra surprise and no sudden new charge. The whole thing was simple. First I paid 1 dollar and locked the booking. Then the rest was taken before the rental started. For someone like me on business trips this made the whole process more friendly. My credit card did not feel too heavy when I was still preparing for the trip.
