It was night in Amsterdam and the light at the return area was a bit soft. Wind came from the canal and I stood next to the Peugeot 3008 feeling a little sad to give it back. Then I suddenly remembered that when I booked this car I only paid 1 dollar at the start. It still feels a bit unreal when I think about it. I was at home back then sitting in front of my laptop. I checked many car rental sites. Prices went up and down. I also had to think about my credit card limit. It made me a bit tired. On one page I saw QEEQ and I saw they had One-Dollar Freeze. It said I could pay just 1 dollar first to lock the car and the rest would be charged before the rental started and there was no interest. My mind relaxed right away. The pressure on my card felt much smaller. I was still not sure if I would really go to Amsterdam. I was thinking about flight times and if my friends could get days off. Many things were not fixed. If a big amount was taken from my card at once at the start I would be scared of any change in my plan. It would be trouble to change or cancel. On the day I booked I sat at my desk and filled in all my info. Then I clicked confirm. My phone showed a charge of 1 dollar. I opened my credit card bill and checked it again. It felt easy. My limit was still almost the same. It was like just holding a spot for myself. Later my trip slowly became clear. I did not worry about payment anymore. One or two days before the pickup I got a bank message. The rest of the money was charged and the price was the same as I saw before. That was when I remembered they would charge the rest automatically before the rental. I did not need to do anything. I could just think about where I wanted to go and if I should drive to some other cities. A few days ago at the airport in Amsterdam I went to Europcar and saw the car ready for me. I felt a bit proud. It was like I had planned this trip long before but my credit card did not feel heavy at the beginning. Now I am at the return area handing back the key and when I think about the whole process the thing I remember the most is still that first 1 dollar. It felt like I gave myself a free choice and did not put any real weight on my card.
