When I made this booking, I was a bit nervous. My main worry was the credit card limit. I travel with my kid and the costs are high. I did not want a big charge on my card all at once. I booked the car through QEEQ and saw this One-Dollar Freeze option. It looked very nice but I was not sure if it was really that simple. I was sitting on the sofa in our living room. My kid was next to me asking me to play. I was trying to calm him and at the same time I was doing the math in my head. I counted all the costs before and after the trip and I wanted every dollar to be used in a smart way. I thought the car booking would take a big payment in advance. I felt my card would get very tight. Then I saw that I only needed to pay 1 dollar first to lock the booking and the rest would be charged before the rental started. I read the note a few times because I was afraid I misunderstood it. In the end I decided to try it and I clicked confirm. At that moment I felt lighter. I knew my card would not be charged a big amount right away. This was a few weeks before the trip. That night after my kid went to sleep I opened the order again. I saw only the 1 dollar hold on my card. I felt a bit proud of myself and thought I made a smart choice this time. In the next days life was normal and I kept preparing the trip. My card stayed mostly free for flights, hotel and daily costs. I did not feel any extra pressure from the car cost. Sometimes I remembered it and I told myself that the rest of the money would be charged before the start date and I did not need to do anything more. A few days before pickup I checked my statement. I saw the rest of the payment taken as planned. There was no extra fee and no strange charge. I felt this way of payment was very friendly for a parent like me. The whole booking process felt like a slow release of my worry. Step by step I checked and then I relaxed more. When I think back I remember that moment when I froze the car booking with just 1 dollar. It felt easy and my credit card did not feel under big pressure. For me this part was very important.
