To be honest I felt a bit strange when I first saw I could lock a car with just 1 dollar. It looked really nice but I was also a bit scared it was some kind of trick. I was traveling alone from Australia to the UK and I needed a car from London to Kettering, so this car was a big thing in my head. I used QEEQ on my phone to book a car. The car was a Nissan Juke from Enterprise, manual gear, four doors and five seats. For one person it was more than enough. I chose the One-Dollar Freeze option. When this option popped up, my first thought was wow I can really hold this car with only 1 dollar. I checked the amount again and again. On the payment page the charge was only 1 dollar. In my head I was thinking what if they charge some random money later. After I paid that 1 dollar, my credit card record stayed normal. There was no strange extra charge, so I calmed down a bit. It was a few days before the middle of June. I remember I kept doing math with my trip money. Flights, hotel and food were all expensive. I was pretty happy that I could lock the car with just 1 dollar first, so my budget did not feel so heavy. During those days I sometimes opened my banking app to check again. I kept thinking they would not suddenly charge me right. I knew I was a bit too worried but when you travel alone it just happens. When it got close to the pickup date they charged the rest of the rental to my credit card. When I saw the charge I checked every number. The amount was the same as the one I saw at the start. There was no extra money and no interest or hidden fee. I felt a big relief and I told myself in my head that I worried for nothing this time. Around the middle of June I arrived at the London pickup point around noon. The weather was a bit cloudy and the wind felt cold. I pulled my suitcase into the Enterprise counter and held my confirmation email in my hand. I felt a bit nervous. The counter staff checked my booking and said my order was in their system and the car was ready. At that moment I felt pretty happy because I knew I only paid 1 dollar at the start and the car was still there waiting for me. There was no nightmare like no car at pickup. When we did the paperwork they checked my credit card again. I looked at the amount on the screen and it matched the money that was already charged. There were no strange service fees. In my mind I said they are actually quite honest. When I got the key and walked to the Nissan Juke, the car paint looked a bit shiny even in the grey light. I touched the door and felt a small sense of pride. I used 1 dollar to lock this car and let my credit card handle the rest later. For someone traveling alone like me this way felt very friendly. When I drove from London toward Kettering, sometimes I thought that if I had to pay the full amount at the start I might think about it for a long time. I might even book much later and maybe get a worse car. With this way I could hold the car first with 1 dollar and then slowly let the bill catch up with my plans. Later in the afternoon I returned the car in Kettering. I watched the staff check the car and I felt that the whole process from booking to return was pretty smooth. At least for the payment side nothing scared me and there was no extra charge. I stood at the side of the parking lot and the wind felt a bit cold on my face. I pulled my jacket tighter and thought that if I rent a car abroad again I will probably choose this kind of plan where I pay a little first and the rest is charged later. For someone like me who often checks the credit card balance it makes the pressure much smaller.
