I was standing in the Barcelona airport hall at night. The sky was getting dark and the air outside felt a bit warm. I pulled my suitcase and walked to the rental counter and my mind felt pretty relaxed because for this booking I only paid 1 dollar first. When I saw the words One-Dollar Freeze on QEEQ I stopped for a moment. In my head I thought maybe there is some trick. Recently I spent 1000 JPY on lunch in Tokyo. In New York I spent money on a small coffee. In Paris I paid more yen for a museum ticket. I kept worrying that my credit card limit was getting too tight. That day I was sitting on my sofa at home. On my laptop screen there was the car in Barcelona and my credit card was next to me. I thought if they charge a big amount at once then maybe I will eat instant noodles for a month. Then I saw I could freeze my booking with just 1 dollar first and lock the car. It felt safer. I counted my recent spending in my head and I remembered how guilty I felt when I checked my coffee bill in New York. So I decided to try it. When I clicked to book I was kind of nervous. I was scared that later they would take more money for no reason. After some days I checked my card record and I saw it really only held that 1 dollar at first. The rest of the money was taken close to the pickup day and the amount was the same as my booking with no weird extra fee. At that moment I felt a big relief. I did not feel crushed by the numbers on my card. I could still buy lunch and coffee and museum tickets without thinking my limit would explode. When I arrived in Barcelona and walked to the rental counter I kept thinking about this payment way. My whole preparation for the trip did not feel heavy about money. I did not need to calculate all the time how much I could still swipe. I just needed to remember to keep enough limit on my card before the start date. After I finished the pickup and sat inside the car I felt like my trip really started. The small worry about payment was already gone since the moment I booked with only 1 dollar and let the rest be charged automatically. For someone like me who travels a lot and uses a credit card often this way to pay makes my mind much more relaxed.
