At first I was just looking at my credit card bill and I stopped for a second. I thought it would be a big number but it was lower than what I remembered. I started to think maybe I remembered the price wrong. Then I checked my emails and saw that QEEQ used Price Drop Protector for me and I saved some money. I came from Australia to the United States. I planned to pick up a car in Austin and then drive to Arlington and return the car there around early July at about ten in the morning. The car was a Toyota RAV4 from Avis. It was automatic and had five seats. For me this was simple and easy and I did not want any trouble. When I first booked it I was a bit stressed because I heard that car rentals in the US can add many extra charges and with the exchange rate I felt a bit nervous. When I was placing the booking I saw a service called Price Drop Protector. I thought it sounded okay since I did not need to do anything extra. I just clicked it. My idea was very simple. If the price went down later I would save some money. If not it was just a normal booking. After I chose it I almost forgot about this thing. I was busy planning my trip and flights and I did not check the car price again. A few days later I got a new confirmation email. It showed the same pick up in Austin and return in Arlington at the same time and the same group of RAV4. My first reaction was that I made a mistake and booked twice. For a moment I got a bit scared and thought I would be charged two times. Then I read it more carefully and saw it was not my mistake. They changed my booking to a cheaper price and they would give me back the difference. The email showed that my old booking was more expensive and the new one was cheaper. I did nothing during this time. It was just that my original booking turned into a better one. I am not very good with numbers but when I saw the line with the price difference I really felt that I got a small win. In my mind that money was already gone before. Now it came back and it felt like I had a bit more budget in my trip. From what I could see as a user the whole thing was very simple. I just got one more confirmation email and a better price. There was no long process for me and I did not need to call customer service and ask for a lower price. As a visitor from another country I am already tired from the time zone change. I also have to think about exchange rates and other costs. It was nice that they watched the price for me. It felt like I had a quiet but reliable partner. On the day I picked up the car in Austin I checked my booking a day or two before. The time was in late June in the morning around ten and the details were clear. When I went to the Avis counter I showed them my confirmation. The process was smooth. The staff asked if I wanted extra insurance. I was doing some small math in my head and I remembered that I already saved money with Price Drop Protector. My mood became more relaxed. Near the end of the trip I returned the car in Arlington. It was also around ten in the morning. I handed over the key. They did a quick check and I left. When I thought about the whole trip the rental itself did not give me big problems. The thing I remembered most was this small surprise from the price drop. Before this I always felt that services that say they help you save money are mostly just words. Many times there are many rules or it does not work. This time I felt that when the price really went down they did give the cheaper price to me. As an overseas visitor I am most afraid of small hidden rules and secret fees that I cannot understand. This time I felt that at least for the price they did not play games with me. The savings showed directly in my booking. I did not have to find it by myself and fight with anyone. I did not need to check prices every day. I also did not worry that I would miss a better deal. My mind was more at ease. Now when I think about future trips I will be more ready to select Price Drop Protector again when I book a car. I do not need to do anything and I still have a chance to pay less. This feels very good. For a long trip to another country the budget can easily go over the plan. Saving a bit gives me more safety. For me the biggest result from using QEEQ this time is that I saw saving money can happen quietly in the background but in the end it is very clear on my bill.
