I was thinking at that time if booking a car can really save me money. That day I booked a car in London on QEEQ. I planned to pick it up around eleven in the morning on July twenty sixth. My schedule was tight so I just chose a price that looked fine and placed the order. In my mind the main thing was to lock the car first. Then after a short while I suddenly got an email. It said the price of my booking went down. They made a new booking for me and I got more than twenty pounds back. I was a bit shocked. I even checked the old and new orders and saw the new one was cheaper and the difference was already on the way to me. This is the Price Drop Protector they offer. At first I thought it was just some function written on the page. I did not expect it to really watch the price for me. For someone like me on business trips I often book today and use the car very soon. I do not have time to check prices every day to see if it gets cheaper. That time was just like this. I booked the car first. I chose the Kia Sportage group with automatic gear so it is easy to drive in the city. Then I went back to my other work plans and did not think about the price any more. Later when I saw that price drop email I was preparing for a meeting. I suddenly felt like I got free money. A bit more than twenty pounds is not huge but not small for a business trip. At least I can buy more coffee or take a taxi for another meeting. More important is that I did nothing. I did not call customer service. The money was saved for me by itself. When I book flights or hotels if the price changes after I pay I usually just accept it and lose that part. This time with their auto rebooking I felt like someone is watching my budget behind me so I do not need to worry. When I think back I know that without this service I would never notice the lower price. I would just pay the original price and never know I could save some money. Now when I remember that London booking the pick up and drop off are not the main thing in my mind. The clearest memory is that email that said the price went down and I would get money back. In that moment I felt surprised and also felt this kind of auto saving money is really good for people who travel for work a lot.
"Hey this is not the same price you told me before right" My coworker texted me when he saw my Marseille trip plan. I stared at the screen for a second. In my head I saw myself a few days ago booking the car on QEEQ. That night I was doing numbers and thinking the travel cost was already fixed. I booked a Peugeot 208 in Marseille. Manual. Four doors. Five seats. For work it was good enough. I did not check the price again. I was too busy with meetings and emails. I just remembered the car was booked and that was it. One morning in the office an email popped up. It said my booking was rebooked at a lower price and I got money back. My first thought was that it might be some scam mail. Then I saw the words Price Drop Protector. I suddenly remembered that when I booked I clicked that service because I was curious. I even thought it might never really do anything. Now it was actually working. I sat there looking at the email and thinking about the whole thing. I did nothing extra. I just booked as normal. After that they watched the price for me. It felt like when I am busy with reports and calls in the front, someone is in the back watching my travel cost. When the rental price goes down they just change my booking and send back the difference. I checked the old confirmation and the new one. The difference was about nine euro. For me that is one decent lunch or a few cups of coffee. As a business traveler this kind of small saving feels very real. In my mind I was already planning my trip to Marseille in September. Around the 19th at noon I would land and go pick up the Peugeot 208 at the airport and drive to client meetings. Knowing the car was ready and the price had gone down by itself made me feel more relaxed. Before this I always booked early to feel safe but then I kept thinking maybe the price would drop later. That fight in my head is annoying. With this service that feeling kind of faded. I can book early and I do not feel stupid if the price changes. That night at dinner I told a friend about it. He asked me so you did nothing and still got money back. I thought for a moment and just said yes that is pretty much it. The funny thing for me is how quiet the whole process was. No complex steps. No one pushing me to click something. I was just in the middle of a normal workday and suddenly got a mail that said my booking is now cheaper. As a business guy I care about cost and also about time. This service did not waste either of them. The price moved down on its own and the refund just came to me. I only need to show up in Marseille in September and get the car from the counter. When I told our admin girl she wrote down Peugeot 208 and the rental company and laughed. She said next time we can look for deals with Price Drop Protector first so the numbers on the report look better. I sat there and felt that I saved more than just a few euro. I also saved the energy of checking prices again and again and that is worth a lot to me.
My feeling at the start was very simple. I just wanted to save some money. When you travel with kids everything costs money and if I can save a little it really helps. When I booked the car on QEEQ I saw a service called Price Drop Protector. I asked myself if this thing really works. What if the price never drops. Then I thought again. I do not lose anything so I picked it as an extra safety.
First I just made a normal booking. I set the car for Barcelona from around the middle of June to the start of July. It was around the afternoon of June 12 to about July 6 in the evening. After I finished the booking I moved on to other things. I had school stuff for my kid. I had to pack. I had to check some plans. I really did not have time to watch the price every day. To be honest I did not expect the price to drop a lot. I just felt better because this service was there.
One day I was at home with my child and I suddenly got an email on my phone. My first thought was that there was a problem with the booking. I was scared that they wanted me to pay more. I felt a bit nervous and opened it. Then I saw it was about a price change. My first words in my head were what does this mean. I read it again and again and then I understood they had booked the same car again for me with a lower price and they would give me back the difference.
Then many questions came to my mind. Do I need to cancel the old order myself. Do I need to confirm the car again. Is there some hidden rule. I sat there thinking. I did not do anything before. I only chose Price Drop Protector when I booked. So maybe this is what they mean by auto rebook when the price is lower.
To make sure I checked my booking page. I saw a new order and it was already confirmed. The car group was the same and the dates were the same. Only the price was lower. I felt surprised and also a bit amused. It felt like I earned money for free. Maybe the amount is not very big for some people. For me as a mom with a kid even saving a small amount means I can buy more snacks or give my child a small gift during the trip.
Then I asked myself again. Do I need to contact anyone. Should I call the car company to check. I thought about it for a while. Since all the status looked normal I relaxed. My kid asked me why I was smiling at my phone. I told him that mom just saved some money. He did not really understand bookings and price difference but he heard the words save money and he smiled too.
The special thing for me is that I did not have to hunt for coupons or refresh the page every day or watch graphs. I did nothing after the first booking. They watched the price for me in the background. I only needed to make one choice at the start. Later they did the rest. I also had a funny thought. What if the price drops again. Will they book it again for me. I even started to hope the price could move down one more time.
In the next days I sometimes opened my booking to check. Everything was fine. The car group was still the same. The time was still about June 12 in the afternoon to July 6 in the evening. There were no strange changes. I felt calm because I knew if the price changed I would not be the one who paid more than others.
This whole thing felt like someone was watching the price behind me. I did not need to spend extra time and I did not need to worry if I booked too early or too late. As a parent I already have many things in my head every day. It is nice when I can worry less about money stuff. When I saw that the final amount was a bit lower than my first booking my feeling was that someone really thought about my side.
For me the best memory from this booking is not the car. It is this small part of money that I saved because of Price Drop Protector. It made me feel more sure about my choice and more willing to use this kind of service again in the future.
I was standing on the balcony of my hotel in Lisbon and looking at the street. I opened my banking app on my phone and saw some money came back to my account. My first thought was simple. Where did this money come from. Is it really what I think it is. Then I started to think about the whole booking.
How did I book the car at the start. It was very normal. I went on QEEQ and chose a car. I planned to pick it up around the afternoon on the fourteenth of August and return it at night on the twenty ninth. I just wanted an easy plan. The price looked okay at that time. In my head I kept asking myself. Should I wait a bit. Should I compare more sites.
In the end I still clicked to book. Why did I do that. Because I saw a service called Price Drop Protector. The page said that if the price goes down later they will book again with the lower price and send the difference back to me. I asked myself again. Will this thing really save money for me. Or is it just some words on the screen. I felt it was worth a try because I did not need to do extra work and I did not need to watch the price every day so I turned it on.
What happened later. One day at home my phone showed a new booking for the same trip. That was how I saw they really changed my booking to a cheaper one. My first reaction was simple. Is this a mistake. Did I lose something in this new booking. Maybe the car is worse. Maybe the time is wrong. I opened the order and checked the details. Pick up was still on the fourteenth of August in the afternoon. Return was still on the twenty ninth at night. The car group was the same and what I needed was still there. I asked myself again. So what about the price difference.
The answer was very clear. They really sent the price difference back to me and it was a bit more than thirty euros almost forty. When I saw the number I felt a bit shocked. For me this is enough for a few good meals in Lisbon. I did nothing special. I just made a normal booking and waited to travel in August. I never watch car prices all the time. I would not check them every day and compare. For me this felt like extra money that just showed up.
Then I started to think in another way. What if I did not have this Price Drop Protector. I would just pay the first price and never know the price went lower later. I would not feel that I lost money but I also would not get anything back. Now they changed the booking for me and returned the difference so it felt like I won a small prize for free.
So when I stood on the balcony and saw that extra money in my account my brain went through it again in a simple way. Did I change the booking by myself. No. Did I call anyone to ask for a discount. No. It was only because I turned on this service when I booked on QEEQ and they did the rest. For a visitor like me coming from another country and not wanting to study prices every day this kind of automatic saving feels very nice. Everything happened quietly in the background while I was just getting ready for my trip and now I have a bit more money to spend on other things. I really did not do anything and I still saved some money.
I will start with the result. I ended up paying less for my car in Rhodes than I first thought. When I saw the final amount I stopped for a second and thought maybe I counted it wrong. I booked my car with QEEQ and I already felt the price was okay. Then their Price Drop Protector made me save around forty something shekels. For me it felt like getting extra money for a small meal. I flew from Israel to Rhodes in Greece and planned to pick up the car near the airport on June 3 in the afternoon. It was a car like a Renault Captur with automatic gear and four doors and five seats. I really need automatic because I do not want to stress about driving rules in another country. When I first made the booking I was thinking if I should wait a bit more to see if the price would go down. But my flight was already set and my plan was fixed. I was also afraid that the car group would be sold out. On the booking page I saw this service called Price Drop Protector. It said that if the price for the same car went down later they would rebook it for me at the lower price and give me the difference back. In my head I was like okay this sounds a bit like an ad. Is it really that good. But I did not need to pay extra for it so I just went with it. I did not check the price every day. To be honest who has time to stare at prices all the time. After booking I just went back to planning my trip. Some time later I opened my email and saw a message about my booking amount being adjusted. The total price there was lower than what I remembered. My first thought was maybe they charged me less now and will take more later. I checked the number and the order again and again and then I understood that the price had dropped and they already rebooked it for me. I did not need to call anyone or send any message. It was all done for me in the background and the savings just showed as a lower total price. That moment I felt quite relaxed like I had earned some extra money without doing anything. I remember the day I picked up the car in Rhodes. The sun was very strong and there were many white cars in a row outside the airport. I pulled my suitcase to the car rental counter and I did not think too much about the exact price anymore. I just knew it was not expensive and that I had saved a bit. Later when I checked my credit card bill and saw the final charge was lower than the first booking amount I really felt that this Price Drop Protector did its job. I did not need to compare prices, change bookings or worry about fees. It just quietly lowered the price for me. As an overseas traveler who also has to think about exchange rates every little saving helps. Those shekels turn into a few more cold drinks in Rhodes for me. When I think about this booking I will remember the strong sun the line of cars near the airport and also that smaller number on my bill. It felt nice to know someone was watching the price for me and helping me save money without any extra work from my side.
I am a solo traveler from the UK and this time I booked a Chevrolet Suburban in Houston through QEEQ. When I first placed the order I was a bit nervous. I always feel car rental prices go up and down and I am not good at catching the best time. Then I saw a service called Price Drop Protector. I thought I should try it since it did not really ask me to do anything extra. This time it really helped.
I had already booked the car and planned to pick it up in Houston around the end of July in the evening a bit after eight. I was ready to drive this seven seat car in the US for some days. My mind moved to other parts of my plan. I did not check the price again and I thought that was it. After some time I suddenly got an email saying there was a change in the price of my booking. My heart sank and I thought they would ask me to pay more. I felt a bit annoyed and thought maybe I had to compare prices again and change the order.
I opened the email and it was the opposite. The price went down. They had already booked a cheaper deal for me and I saved around forty four dollars. I was a bit shocked and thought maybe I saw it wrong. I read it again and checked the order details. Then I understood they changed it for me on their side. I did nothing. My old order just stayed there and later it turned into a cheaper one. I also got this small amount of money back and it felt like easy extra money.
What I remember most is that before this I always had to watch the price by myself or just accept the first price. It is the first time I see a platform watch the price for me. When the price went down they changed it right away. I did not even need to talk to customer service. I just saw a message on my phone saying I had saved some money. My first thought was that this extra cash could cover more gas for the Suburban.
When I checked the order again the pickup was still around the end of July in the evening and the return was still in early August in the late afternoon. The place was the same. Only the price was lower. The trip itself did not change but I felt very different inside. For someone like me who travels alone this kind of service is really useful. I do not need to refresh prices every day. I just let them watch it. For this booking I will remember that Price Drop Protector helped me save money without any effort from me. It made me feel they care about users like me.
