When I think about driving around Crete with my kids, the first thing in my mind is not the sea or the old streets. It is the feeling when I booked the car and only paid one dollar at the start. I booked through QEEQ and I was planning a family trip, so flights and hotels already used a lot of money. When I saw the full rental price for the car, I felt a bit stressed. Then I noticed a plan called One-Dollar Freeze. It said I could pay only one dollar first to lock the booking and the rest would be taken automatically before the rental started. I felt my chest relax a little because I had more time to breathe. That night I sat on the sofa and my kids were next to me asking if there would be a big beach where we go. I was calming them down and at the same time looking at the total amount on the screen. I thought if I paid everything at once now, my credit card would feel very tight. I tried the one dollar payment and it went through with no extra charge. I felt this plan was good for a family like us because our travel budget was already cut into many parts. Close to May 20, I checked my card and saw that the rest of the money was taken before the trip started. It was very quiet and simple. There was no interest and no strange extra fees. My bill was very clear. On May 22 in the evening, when we were near the airport in Crete and walking to the Avis counter to pick up the Opel Corsa, I was not worried about the payment at all. I only cared about the child seat and if our bags could fit. For me, paying just one dollar first to hold the car was a big help during that busy planning time. It made the start of the trip feel less painful for my wallet and my head felt much lighter.
