The flight delayed 1 hour as a result I was late on the appointment for renting the car so the person didn’t provide me with the car I wanted. So I was forced to rent a car that more expensive because it was a luxury can and he told me that there is no car with 7 seat or a bus. This was very disappointing.

Herz Istanbul airport branch gets your credit card info and charge you extra money saying it's a mistake and try to hold that money up to 1 month. Main Herz company does anything about it.
