The air outside Pisa airport was a bit cold at night and I pulled my suitcase to the parking lot. I saw the Volkswagen T cross under the lights and it looked really nice. In my head I felt like my Italy trip was finally starting for real. I also thought I was glad I booked it on QEEQ before the trip. If I had to pay everything at the counter my credit card bill would be crazy. I am still a student and I need to watch my money. Big payments on my card make me nervous. I remember that night when I booked the car in my dorm room. My roommate was playing games next to me. I was looking at the map of Pisa and choosing cars. Then I saw a payment option called One-Dollar Freeze. It said I only need to pay 1 dollar first to lock the booking and the rest will be charged automatically before the rental starts and there is no interest. In my mind I was like this is perfect for someone like me with a tight budget. My little inner voice said just pay 1 dollar now and save the rest for later. When I clicked pay the bill really only took 1 dollar. I felt very relaxed at that moment. I did not need to push a big amount onto my credit card at once and my chest felt lighter. A few weeks later I was busy planning the trip and dealing with school stuff. I almost forgot about the car payment. I just checked my card limit sometimes and thought about other costs. When it was close to my flight in early March I saw that the rest of the rental fee was already charged. It was around one day before my trip. The amount was correct and nothing extra showed up. I felt that this auto charge way was friendly for someone like me who can be a bit careless. I did not need to worry about missing a payment and losing the car. When I arrived at Pisa airport around the night of March 7 I went to the Locauto counter. After the staff finished the papers they gave me the key. At that moment I suddenly remembered that night when I only paid 1 dollar. It felt like a small step in my dorm had grown into this moment standing in a parking lot in Italy. During the whole time I was not stressed about money. Their charges were clear and there were no weird extra fees. For a young person like me it is really nice to lock a car with such a small prepaid amount and still have no interest and less pressure on my credit card. It makes the whole trip feel easier in my head.
