When I think about this car rental, I actually feel pretty relaxed. The main reason is that when I booked it, I only paid 1 dollar first and the car was already reserved. I did the booking on QEEQ. Later when I picked up the BMW X1 at Brussels, I stood at the SIXT counter and felt glad that I locked the car early. The airport was quite busy and many people were still trying to find a car. My car was already ready. I went to pick up the car around the morning of June 14, a little later than my first plan. The sky was a bit gray that day. The air outside the airport felt a little wet. I pulled my carry on bag to the rental area and kept thinking about the cost of this business trip. When I handed my card to the staff, I remembered again that the main rental fee was not paid at the moment I made the booking. When I first saw that BMW X1 online, I was not sure if I should book it. A business trip already costs a lot and if I pay the full rental fee at once, my credit card will feel a lot of pressure. This time I also planned to drive from Belgium to Luxembourg and Netherlands and Germany for meetings. My schedule was very full. I was worried that if the meetings changed or clients moved the time, my money would be locked too early. That night I sat in front of my laptop and checked the price again and again. My finger was on the payment button and I did not want to click it. Then I saw that I could use the One-Dollar Freeze plan. I only needed to pay 1 dollar first and the car could be reserved. My mind relaxed right away. It felt like saving a seat first and then taking time to confirm the trip. I thought about my credit card bill and felt this way would not use too much credit limit at once. So I clicked confirm. In the next few weeks I did not think much about the rental payment. I only checked my travel plan on my phone sometimes. A few days before the trip, I got a notice that the rest of the money was charged. At that time my meetings were all fixed and my travel route was clear. When I looked at my bill, I felt that paying later like this was much easier than paying all at once at the start. When I finally stood at the SIXT counter in Brussels and handed over my card, I did not feel that heavy stress of a big single payment. I felt more like everything was under control already. During the next days I drove between Belgium and nearby countries. When I stopped on the road to rest, I sometimes thought about how I only used 1 dollar to lock the car in the beginning. I felt I made a smart choice. For someone like me with a tight business schedule, this way of paying just a little first and the rest later made the start of my trip much lighter on my credit card and also on my mind.
