Zoom Car is a fraud company. Their back hand team along with local vendors are fraud and cheating customers. The game starts after they ask your permission to cancel a booking when things goes wrong like the vehicle has a problem. After that they tell you that you wont be getting a refund, neither an alternate car for the breakdown vehicle. Once money is with them, their customer care starts talking in an arrogant manner and refuses to help you or listen to you.
Booking id is- JPS66M6XN
Story- I booked Nexon AT for Rs 2040 advance payment for 28 hours and 140km, pick up time was 7pm, 27th Nov'2019. At 6.55pm when I called the customer care, I was informed the vehicle has some mechanical problem and requested me to offer an alternate car. Since I want it for official purpose next day, I agreed for SWIFT AT albeit at a higher price. Still I agreed. At 8pm, I went to collect the car, the zoom car app took me to a wrong address, D-606, Sapphire park while the car was parked at M-201 Sapphire park. Called customer care twice but could not help me or guide me. In the third call to customer care, I was finally given the right address.
I completed my inspection after running around for 30min to locate the vehicle.
At 11pm, I was driving to drop off someone since the road the empty, I could drive at speed of 40km/hr. Then I realised the brakes are not working when the speed goes beyond 35km/hr. Once it comes down below 35km/hr then brakes start working.
I called customer care to inform the same. After few minutes Zoom car back hand team called me and asked me to drop the vehicle on the road (which they locked it) and would allocate me an alternate car which is in Hinjewadi. At 00.00 am, 28th Nov'2019, I agreed to pick up car from Hinjewadi as I have to travel next day urgently.
Now the harassment continued, I was allocated a car which was not in Hinjewadi but in some other location. This is when I refused to pick that car. After calling several times, the customer care got angry and asked my permission to cancel this booking altogether. To which I said yes, as I was tired to do anything now. Once cancelled, When I asked for refund time, customer care told me that I won't get a refund if there is no problem with the car. This was absurd as I was never told this before.
Now, at 18.19hrs 28th Nov 2019, the booking still shows open in Zoomcar app and not cancelled yet. On calling customer care to enquire status, they ask me if the car is with me.
As per records, That Car Suzuki Swift AT, red colour, KA 03 AG 1831 is bought in 18 Dec'2018 has run only 14000 km till now being in commercial use which is quite weird. The reason can be that the Zoomcar is not repairing it and instead using this car to extort money from customers who would fall prey in booking this vehicle and paying in advance.
Now I am just following up for my refund of Rs 2040. I also have a future booking with them which would cost me Rs 200 if I cancel.
