I felt good about this booking from the very start because I only paid 1 dollar when I made the reservation. I saw the words One-Dollar Freeze and I thought it might be some trick but it really only charged 1 dollar first and the rest would be taken automatically before the rental started. My mind felt lighter right away. My credit card limit did not get used up at once and I did not worry about a huge bill showing up. I was planning a trip from Las Vegas to San Francisco and I wanted to pick up the car in Las Vegas on May 9 around 2 pm. It was with Avis and it was a seven seat car like a Chrysler Pacifica. I would drive for many days. The total price looked big so I was a bit nervous. When I saw I could book it by paying just 1 dollar first I felt I could lock in the car and if my plan changed I would not have a lot of money frozen on my card. When I booked it I was in my dorm room. My phone was on the desk. It was getting dark outside and my roommate was playing games. I looked at the price on the screen for a while. It said the rest of the money would be taken before the rental started and there was no extra interest. It sounded fair to me so I pressed confirm. When the payment record showed up it really only showed 1 dollar. I even took a screenshot and sent it to my friends. I told them I booked a seven seat car with just 1 dollar. They all thought it was pretty cool. In the next weeks I did not think too much about it. I just checked my email sometimes to make sure the booking was still there. One or two days before the trip I saw the rest of the rental fee taken from my card. The amount was the same as before. There was no strange extra fee. I did some quick math in my head about the time and money. For someone like me who is still in school and does not have a lot of budget this way of paying a little first and then automatic charge later feels very friendly. On the morning of May 20 when it was almost time to return the car in San Francisco I thought about the whole booking. The thing I remembered most was not the car itself. It was that moment when I first booked and only paid 1 dollar. It felt safe and relaxed. It was like I got a spot first without paying a lot right away. For me using QEEQ to book this car the One-Dollar Freeze part really made the pressure much smaller.
