To be honest I was a bit stressed when I first saw the price of the car I booked. For someone like me who is still a student a long rental in Los Angeles for almost one month is a big thing. I booked the car on QEEQ and my plan was simple. I wanted a big 12 seater like a Ford Transit so I could go around with friends. After I clicked confirm I still felt a bit worried. I kept thinking what if the price drops later or maybe I booked too early. Then something happened that made me feel like I got free money. One morning around a month before the trip I was still in bed and scrolling my phone. My bank sent me a message and I panicked for a second. I thought maybe some strange fee was charged. I opened my email and checked my booking right away. Then I saw a message from them. It said that because of Price Drop Protector they found a lower price and made a new booking for me and the difference would be paid back to me. I was a bit shocked and read the amount twice. The difference was around eleven thousand plus pesos in my currency. My first thought in my head was this is crazy good. I remember very clearly that my plan was to pick up the car in Los Angeles airport on June twenty fourth late at night and return it on July twenty second at night too. The rental period was long so I was ready for a high cost. But they watched the price for me and when they saw it go down they just moved me to the cheaper rate and gave me the extra money back. I did not click any button. I did not send any email. I just stayed there and the savings came by themselves. The feeling was a bit strange and nice. On one side I was planning the trip in my head. I knew I would land in Los Angeles late at night maybe around eleven thirty. I could see myself walking with my luggage to the Avis counter and showing the booking for the Ford Transit. I worried a bit because it was so late at night. I did not know if the staff would be tired or if the car would be in good shape. On the other side I started to count what I could do with the money I saved. Maybe we could have a few more proper meals. Maybe we could add a short side trip. Maybe I could buy more small gifts to bring home. For a young person like me that amount is not small at all. It is very real help. Later I looked closely at the change in my booking. The old booking number was replaced by a new one but for me nothing really changed in my steps. The pick up time was still late at night and the place was still Los Angeles airport. The drop off time stayed close to eleven at night too. The only real change was the lower price. I pictured myself standing at the Avis counter handing over my new confirmation and feeling very calm. I knew that this price was already the better price they helped me get. I did not need to stand there thinking maybe I paid too much. In the next days I told my friends about it. At first they thought I called someone to negotiate or I spent many hours checking prices again. I laughed and told them no. I just chose Price Drop Protector when I booked and then they watched the price for me. My friend said it felt like someone in the back was always checking the price for you. I kind of felt the same. It was like there was a careful person standing behind me guarding this money. When I planned the trip I always had to calculate many things. How much for the rooms. How much for gas. How much each person should pay. When I counted the car cost again I suddenly realized that without this price difference I might cut one or two activities. Or I would have to be much more strict with the budget. Now the extra money felt like someone suddenly put a small bag of cash in my hand and said you can use this to have more fun. I sat at my desk and wrote a new budget sheet and my mood was much lighter than when I booked the car the first time. One more thing I liked is that I did not feel any trouble during this whole thing. Normally I would never check the price every day. I do not have the time or the habit to watch the same car price again and again. When I finish a booking it is done for me. I just move on. They took this part away from me and handled it instead. For someone who is still in school and has limited time and energy this passive way of saving money is very friendly. Now when I look at this booking from the first day I made it to the day it was rebooked and the price difference was given back everything feels smooth. I planned my trip at my own pace and the money part for the car was quietly handled by Price Drop Protector. When I finally walk into Los Angeles airport with my luggage and go pick up that big Ford Transit I know this car is not just our ride. It is also proof of this small lucky moment where I did not fight the price alone because someone was already standing on my side helping me save what I could.
