That day I was packing our bags and watching my kid do homework at the same time. My head was full of all the costs for our US trip. Flights, hotel, food and also the car from Austin to Houston. It felt a bit heavy on my wallet. I booked the car on QEEQ and I already accepted the price. I told myself that when you travel with a child, the most important thing is that the car is reliable. I did not plan to change anything. Then a small thing happened and I still feel happy when I think about it. About twenty days before the trip I was looking at our budget on my laptop. I was even thinking maybe we should save some money on food. At that moment my phone showed a new email. It said the price of my booking had changed. My first thought was that the price went up. My heart sank for a second and I thought this is so unlucky. I opened the email and read it. It said because I used Price Drop Protector the price went down. They already booked the same car again for me and they would give me back the price difference. I just froze for a moment. I read the email a few more times to make sure it was not some scam. The feeling was quite funny. I was ready to spend that money and then someone comes and tells you that you can actually pay less. My mood suddenly became much lighter. I started to think how I could use those extra pounds. Maybe I could buy my kid more snacks at the airport. Or maybe a T shirt in Austin as a small gift. If I jump back to the day when I first booked the car I remember I saw this Price Drop Protector option. I did not think too much. I just felt that it does not hurt to add it. I usually compare prices on a few sites. But when you travel with a kid there are so many things to plan. I really do not have the energy to check car prices every day. When I clicked it that day my only thought was it would be nice if it could help me watch the price. I did not really expect that I would truly save money. Then if I jump again to the moment I got the email I was standing in the living room. My kid was next to me asking a math question. My trip plan was open on the screen. I was explaining the problem to him and at the same time I felt inside that this money was kind of easy money. The difference was not huge but for a parent who always tries to spend more on the kid every little bit means more safety in the budget. Later I opened the booking details again. The car was still the same group like Chrysler 200 with automatic gear. Pick up was still in Austin and drop off was still in Houston. The times were around the evening of March twenty ninth for pick up and the evening of April second for return. I checked everything more than once. Nothing important changed. I felt calm because I got a lower price and I did not lose anything. The most important part for me was that I did nothing for this change. I did not search again and I did not compare prices again. One day I just got an email that told me I would pay less. As a parent who travels with a child I am used to solving many small problems by myself. Not many things are done for me automatically. So this small surprise really stood out for me. Later when I talked with my friend I told this story. I said that now when you book a car there is this kind of service that watches the price for you. When the price drops they give you the difference back. My friend asked if it was a lot of work. I said for me it was just one extra click. After that everything was handled by them on their side and I only received one email that said the price was lower. This whole experience made this price watching service feel very real to me. It is not just some nice words on a website. I could see the total amount on my booking go down. That made me feel more relaxed when planning all the fun places to visit with my kid in the US. At least for the car I felt that someone helped me save a bit of our budget. For me this was a small but very real surprise from QEEQ.
