Hertz, Turkish Airlines to offer car rental benefits

The Hertz Corporation has entered into a new partnership with Turkish Airlines to provide members of the carrier's Miles&Smiles frequent flyer program with preferential rates on car rentals worldwide, and Bonus Miles with every booking.
The three-year agreement means Miles&Smiles members around the world can immediately start taking advantage of best available rates on Hertz car rentals while earning 500 bonus miles for each booking.
This offer applies to reservations made through www.hertz.com, Hertz call centers and via the travel trade. Bookings through the Hertz website will also have exclusive access to a range of special discounts and miles-based promotions during the year according to their membership tier.
Turkish Airlines currently flies to over 200 destinations worldwide, with internationally popular cities such as Dubai, London, New York and Beijing ranking favorably among passengers.

With Hertz's wide service network, we are expecting to raise the service diversity offered to our members.”
The partnership between Hertz and Turkey's dynamic national carrier means that Miles&Smiles members can enjoy best rates and discounts on Hertz car rentals across a growing global network of more than 8,500 locations in more than 150 countries.
