“Wait why do I have a bit more money now” I stared at my credit card record and felt confused. Then I looked close and saw that they actually sent some money back for my car booking. I thought back to the booking. I had booked a car at Tivat Airport in Montenegro first. It was around the afternoon on May 9th 2026 and I planned to pick up the car the next day around the same time around four something in the afternoon. I chose a Renault Captur from GREEN MOTION with manual gear. On my phone I saw the price and I just wanted to lock it in before it went higher. When I booked I noticed a service called Price Drop Protector. It said if the price went down later they would auto rebook and return the difference. I was not very sure if this was real. I also felt it did not cost me extra so I just turned it on like a small safety net. A few days later I sat in front of my laptop and checked my email. I saw a new booking confirmation from them. My first thought was that I clicked some wrong dates. I opened it and saw the same car group the same Tivat Airport location and still GREEN MOTION. The pickup time was still around those afternoons about four o’clock. Only the order number was different. I felt a bit lost. Then I asked myself in my head. Did I read the first price wrong. Was there some hidden fee. I opened the old booking and checked the number. The old price was higher than the new one. Next question in my head. So where did the price difference go. Will they charge me later at the counter. In the evening I got a text from my bank. It showed a small amount of money coming in. I checked the numbers and it was about one point one three pounds. It matched the difference. At that moment I finally understood. It was the Price Drop Protector working. They saw the lower price by themselves. They rebooked for me and sent the extra money back. I did nothing at all. I almost laughed at myself. Normally when I book things I always spend a lot of time comparing prices and refreshing many sites. This time I did nothing and still got some money back. It felt like someone gave me a small red envelope. The amount was not big but for a student type traveler like me it was still one more drink money and that made me happy. The best part was that my car pickup was not affected. I just remember going to the airport area in those days around May 9th or 10th in the afternoon to get the car and returning it the next afternoon. Everything was normal. The staff at the rental counter just used the new booking. I gave my name and booking info and that was it. I did not need to talk about any price change. I stood in the rental area of the airport and watched the sun shine over the mountains. I thought again about this whole thing. At first I worried that this kind of auto refund promise was just nice words. But once the price really dropped they handled it and sent the money back. It felt like I had a classmate who watched the price for me so I did not need to check it every day and I could still catch the lower deal. For this trip what stayed in my mind was not only the car but this small moment where I saved money without doing anything and the whole booking felt easier for me.
