I was scrolling on my phone and looking at photos of Bologna in Italy and I felt pretty excited because I was going there soon. At the same time I was a bit nervous because my credit card limit was kind of tight. I still had to pay for my flight and my hotel. I really wanted to book a car first because I was afraid all the good ones would be gone if I waited. I was using QEEQ to look at cars. I saw a Volkswagen Polo with automatic drive. Four doors and five seats. It looked perfect for the city and not too big. Then I saw something called One-Dollar Freeze and I got curious. At first I thought it was some kind of deal with a lot of small rules. I checked the details and found that I only had to pay 1 dollar to lock this car for my dates. The rest of the money would be charged a bit before my pickup date and there was no interest. My mind relaxed right away. I did not need to put a big amount on my card all at once. That week I still had other bills to pay and if I paid the full car rental right then I would have to count every number on my card. So I put on some music and started the booking. It was pretty simple. I picked the beginning of June to pick up the car in Bologna around late morning and I set the return for about a week later in the early evening. On the confirm page it said they would only take 1 dollar at that moment. I checked it a few times because I was afraid I read it wrong. When I clicked confirm my mood was kind of funny. It felt like the car was mine for those dates but my wallet did not really feel anything. Only a tiny amount was taken. In the next days my life was the same. When I checked my card I saw that 1 dollar and it almost made me laugh. It felt like I was just saving a spot. I told myself that later when my trip was closer and my money was more ready they would charge the rest and the stress would not hit me all at once. I even told a friend that this time booking a car did not feel heavy because I could secure the car first and then slowly get the rest of the money ready. When it was one or two days before my flight I got a message from my credit card about a new charge. It was the amount I already knew from the booking page. I looked at it once and closed the message. I had already planned for it and there were no extra strange fees. The best part for me was that I did not need to remember any payment date in the middle. I did not have to log in and pay again. They just charged it at the time we agreed. When I think about it now I feel that if there was no way to book with just 1 dollar I might have waited longer and not booked the car so early. I would keep worrying about my card limit and that makes me feel tense. This kind of plan is really nice for someone like me who is still a student and has a tight budget. I can fix my plan first and not push my card to the edge on day one. When the time comes the rest of the money goes through and I just go and pick up my little Polo in Bologna. For me the whole thing feels easy and my credit card does not feel too much pressure.
