That day I was in a small hotel near the Milan airport, packing my bags and getting ready to pick up my car from GOLDCAR a few days later. The sky outside was a bit cloudy. I opened my phone to check my booking and looked at the price. I stopped for a second. The number looked lower than what I remembered. My first thought was that I made a mistake or that some hidden fee was missing. I opened the old confirmation email and the new booking and checked them slowly. I found there was a difference of almost eighteen euro. I said to my friend next to me, "Hey look, this booking looks cheaper now." He joked, "Maybe they made a mistake. Be careful they charge you more at the counter." I felt a bit nervous and checked again. Then I remembered that when I booked on QEEQ I chose the Price Drop Protector. It said if the price went down they would rebook it and pay me back the difference. When I booked it, I did not think too much. I just thought, if the option is there I can click it. It was late at night at the end of June. I was at home, planning my trip to Italy for early July. My plan was to pick up the car in Milan around 1 pm on July 6 and return it in the evening on July 10. I spent a lot of time comparing prices and it was tiring. When I saw this Price Drop Protector, I even told myself, if it really saves me some money, then I win a little. Now I saw the lower amount on my booking and tried to count the difference. It was around seventeen point nine five euro. In my mind I said, this is like one more simple dinner. It felt strange because I did nothing. It was like someone was watching the price for me, and when it dropped they fixed the booking and gave me the cheaper rate. I did not get any special calls and I did not need to change the booking myself. The car was still a Volkswagen Polo automatic, same pick up and drop off places, only the price got better. I checked the times again. The dates were still the same idea, pick up around midday on July 6 and return around the evening on July 10. My plan to use the car for a few days stayed the same. I quietly said to myself, this is pretty cool. Before this I always felt that things like price protection sounded like big advertising words and maybe very complicated. Now I saw it one time in real life and it was simple. They just made a new booking with a lower price and the difference came back to me. As a tourist from another country I normally do not trust platforms so much because there are many rules and small text. This time I felt more relaxed because I did not need to watch the price every day. Later I told my family about it. I said that when I booked the car I chose Price Drop Protector and then I did nothing, and still it saved me some money in the background. My family asked me which site I used. I just answered that I booked it on QEEQ.
