I felt pretty relaxed when I booked this car because I used QEEQ and their One-Dollar Freeze. I travel a lot for business and I really hate it when a big amount gets blocked on my credit card before the trip even starts. My limit gets tight and it is hard to handle other work stuff. This time I needed a car in Santa Rosa in the US. I remember I booked it around June nineteenth and planned to pick up a Hyundai Tucson from ACE on the twenty first at about eleven thirty in the morning. It was automatic with four doors and five seats, very good for meeting a few clients in the area. When I placed the booking it showed that I only needed to pay 1 dollar first. I even joked with my coworker and said this looked like a trick question and asked if they really only take one dollar. Then the credit card message came and it was really just 1 dollar. I felt much more relaxed and the booking did not feel heavy at all. Later during meetings I checked my statement again. There was no strange big pre authorization and no huge rental amount taken early. It was just that single dollar sitting there. I quietly thought that it was good I chose this plan. In the days close to the rental start I was busy with my slides and meeting schedule. I almost had no time to think about the car. Sometimes I wondered if I still needed to go online and pay the rest by myself. On the morning of the twenty first when I was on my way to the Santa Rosa office and then to the car lot my phone showed a new credit card charge. It was the remaining rental fee and the amount looked normal. I thought to myself that the auto charge they talked about was real and I did not need to click through pages and make manual payment. The fact that there was no interest was very important to me too. My company sometimes pays my expenses slowly and the bill cycle can get delayed. If this kind of payment plan had extra interest I would end up with higher cost. This time the statement only showed the regular rental price and I did not see any interest line. I checked it a few times and then felt safe. At the ACE counter when I picked up the car I did not need to explain any special payment method. For the staff it was just a normal confirmed booking. I showed my confirmation and my license and they finished the paperwork. It felt smooth. A few days later I finished my work in Santa Rosa and returned the car on the twenty sixth at about ten in the morning. I did not worry about money on the way because there was no surprise charge and no big amount blocked during the whole period. When I think about this trip the best part for me is the feeling at the start. I only paid one dollar and the car was reserved. The rest was charged automatically as promised and there was no interest. My credit card felt much less stressed for this business travel.
