When I returned the car around noon on June 29 in Fort Lauderdale, I sat at the drop off area and watched the Jeep Wrangler being driven away by the staff. The first question in my head was not about the car. It was about money. Was this trip heavy on my card or not? My own answer was that it was not heavy at all. The reason was that I booked the car with One-Dollar Freeze. When I first saw this name I was a bit curious. Is paying only one dollar really enough? I asked myself if there might be some hidden fees later. Then I tried to make the booking and I saw that they only charged one dollar at the start. At that moment I felt more relaxed. I thought even if my plan changed this one dollar would not give me much pressure. I was on a business trip from Colorado to Orlando. There I needed to meet clients and visit a few office locations. I wanted a car like a Jeep Wrangler. It has good space and looks fine for business. But I also asked myself if I should pay the full rental amount at once. Would my credit card limit feel very tight? My answer was that I did not really want to do that. So One-Dollar Freeze was just right for me. After I paid the one dollar I went on to book my flight and hotel. In my mind there was still a question. When would the rest of the money be paid? Later I checked the information again and saw that the rest would be charged automatically before the rental started and there was no interest. I asked myself if this would make my credit card feel lighter. My feeling was yes. It felt easier because I did not see a big amount taken all at once. Around noon on June 21 I went to the Dollar office in Orlando to pick up the car. When I walked to the counter I again asked myself if they would ask me for some strange extra payment. The staff helped me with normal checks and confirmation. At that moment I understood that the automatic payment part was already handled and I did not feel any trouble from the paying process. During the days in Orlando I drove the Wrangler every morning to meet different clients. Sometimes the traffic was bad and I asked myself if choosing this kind of car was too much. Then I thought about how stable and spacious it was and how easy it was to put my work files inside. I answered myself that this choice fit my business trip quite well. What made me feel relaxed most was still the payment. I did not use a big part of my credit card limit in one shot for the rental so it was easier to manage other business costs. When I drove from Orlando all the way down to Fort Lauderdale and the trip was close to the end I remembered that one dollar at the start. I asked myself what that one dollar really did for me. My answer was that it made the booking very simple. I paid a small amount first and it felt like I gave myself space. I did not have to face the full cost right away. For a business traveler like me that feeling is quite important. During the whole time they did not suddenly change the price or charge extra. The way my payment worked stayed very clear. On the road I sometimes thought that if I had not used the one dollar plan I might have spent more time during those booking days calculating the cost and my credit limit. My mind would have been more distracted. This time I could put more focus on my clients and my work. When I think back to this rental from Orlando to Fort Lauderdale one simple question comes into my head. Was it worth it? My answer to myself is that at least for payment pressure One-Dollar Freeze was very worth it for me. I made the booking on QEEQ and when I remember the moment I clicked confirm that feeling of paying just a little first and letting the rest be charged later automatically really made this business trip feel much lighter for me.
