Zoomcar Complaints & Reviews

I had a booking of Tata Tiago from 14th October to 15th October, midnight I got the call regarding car being not available and they changed it to Creta. I took the car did a check and clicked the photographs and completed my journey on 14th itself. When completed I did get a text that trip has been completed and the inspection will be done and any outstanding or any charges will be charged within 24 hours. After 24 hours I got a texts that my booking has been completed and there are no outstanding charges (which is ofc received after the inspection done). The story started from here now on 31st October i got a text that outstanding amount of 10000 is there. I called customer support the told me charges were valid and they won’t wave it off.
Now to be clear
1. The inspection was to be done within 24 hours of periods which I got that text that there’s no outstanding.
2. Your vehicle may have been booked or used by zap executive in those 15 days which leads to they must be responsible for the damage.
3. Your vehicle wasn’t taken from the hub it was parked on road, which certainly I am not responsible if any damage is done in those 15 days
4. What if it was all planned you changed the booking and applied all charges to me and the underbody damage was already done before I took the vehicle, ofc there isn’t any option to upload underbody damage or your company has any policy for so.
5. I went through your damage policy there isn’t any damage fee for so.

Your customer care executive simple told me “sir apki zimedari hai car ke niche dkh ke leke jana tha” how will I roll down to some vehicle and check that too 5:00am in morning. Atleast train your customer care to do sensible talks.

I have all the messages, mails and photographs of the vehicle, if I keep going through the problem you are providing me with I’ll simply file a case in consumer forum.
Go check the history of my account how many bookings have been made and this is how you treat your prime and super miler customers.

Zoomcar Customer Care's response Hello Mahi,

Greetings!

Please accept our apologies for the inconvenience caused. Unfortunately, owing to the vehicle shortage, we had to allocate the alternate vehicle. With regard to the damage charge, we did have a check and see that the charge levied is invalid. Therefore, we have reversed the charge. Once again, we apologize for the trouble caused.

Ramya. S

My name is manu paruthi. I want to narrate to you a series of incidents and then seek advice/ redressal to my grievances.

I booked a self-drive car for self and family through zoomcar at hyderabad. One of the reasons for taking this option was that my wife had a mild sprain in the lower back and we didn’t want to get into the hassle of booking cabs and the waiting involved while we were at hyderabad. The details of the booking...

Dear all, we have multiple apps in the market to purchase or to place any booking. So a first-time user who doesn't know anything about the refund rates is approaching the zoom car and he made a booking. Next day morning he wanted to cancel the same because of certain issues and that time he is getting a shock that the refund amount is 50% only and the cancellation charges are 50% if we do the cancellation within 24 hours. This is agreeable but i have not notified about the charges at any point while i make a booking. The app should show what is the refund amounts at various stages while placing the booking which didn't happen. 20% cancellation charges are agreeable but 50% is really pathetic for their service. We need to pick up and drop the car putting out efforts after all these they charge 50% cancellation fees?

My point is clear the poor app doesn't notify about the cancellation charges while i made the booking. If i would have notified i would not have made the booking. If it's in person the agent will say about all the things since its online app should show the details to the customer before they make a booking.

The worst part when we raised this genuinely all the customer care agents says that we need to read the agreement and policies available on the website before we place the booking. What world they are in? Even when placing a booking they won't read such things on the websites so come on to the real world people.

I got only 50% amount and need 30% more of the amount which is rs 260. Kindly made this to me.

Hello,

I'm Vikas Bhat from Udupi. On 26/01/2024 at 1 pm, we reserved a rental Ertiga from Zoomcar app for a 3-day period until 28/01/2024 at 6 pm.

Upon reaching Margao Railway Station in Goa at 1 pm, we found that the car sent wasn't as expected. Instead of a black and yellow nameplate, we were provided with a white board (private blue-colored Ertiga) with a different nameplate. Additionally, the driver arrived late at 2:44 pm. The car shown in the app differed from the one provided.

Despite discussing the issue with the driver, we opted not to proceed with the rental. The driver suggested canceling the ride and assured us of a full refund.

Attempts to contact the host and customer care were unsuccessful, with no response or assistance provided.

We urge Zoomcar helpline to review our predicament and issue a complete refund promptly.

Thank you,
Vikas

By booking id is jps6x9hwb. I booked car mainly based on pickup point, i chose near to mgbs busstation hyderabad, pickup time is 7 am. To my surprise when i arrived the pickup point is somewhere inside old city where the roads are narrow and gps location was not routable. I wasted 2 hours in locating the car, i did not have choice of cancelling as cancelling at the last moment i had to loose money. I had dropped car in mgbs bus station. For this hey charged around 3000/- and its very bad practice as you changed location without my consent. Had i been informed about its location, i would have rejected outright, and would have made alternative arrangments.
I got a recovery notice for rs 4200/.. I am ready to pay execess km charge.
Zoom car, please revert those charges, location charges as this is your mistake.

Date of incident : 18 - october - 2019
Order number : jps6xbl88

Dear consumer complaints forum,

This is a complaint against zoom car for charging us unnecessarily despite there being no fault from our side.

We had booked hyundai verna numbered ts07uh1342 for 3 days starting from 17th at 9.00 p. M and started our trip on 18th oct at around 1:00 a. M.
Few hours after we started the journey in less than 100 km at around 3.00 a. M we had a trouble i. E., some noise originated from engine so we stopped and contacted zoomcar customer care when one of the personnel had asked us to continue with the car and informed that there wouldn't be any problem. This is when we saw that there was no oil in the engine, so we filled the oil as directed by the customer care at a nearby petrol pump bearing the charges.
We even told him to change the car but he refused to do so.

Some time later the problem occurred again constantly, so we pulled over and opened the hood (Bonnet) and saw that there was oil spillage from the engine. So, we contacted the support again and handed over the car by parking it in a village and told the customer care executive, who locked the car. They did not arrange any alternate vehicle or cab so, we had to bear extra charges for our travel apart from the charges paid for zoom car booking. The customer care executive while handing over the car confirmed that we will be given the full refund after checking the car.

Now, we have been charged with rs.2, 00, 000 for a no fault from us. We had payed rs.26, 000 for the car (Fuel & oil charges) and we are now in demand for the refund.
We have complaints against zoomcar as they have provided a faulty car and urge them to know the blunders they had created due to which we have to incur loss for our trip (Travelling & hotel charges).
We faced a lot of problems due to this breakdown of the car as we didn`t get any transport from there and had to travel for 22 hours for 10 hour journey.
When the executive told us that they will provide the car servicing history, but they are now saying it is interal and will not be provided and they had made false promises and are now neglecting.
As the zoomcar calls are recorded for training and quality purposes, please check the call recordings in order to verify the details

We contacted their customer care frequently & communicated over twitter for refunding our amount, but they deny any fair resolution for this.
Kindly resolve this issue as soon as possible.

Thank you

Zoomcar Customer Care's response Hello Sanjay,

Greetings!

We understand your concern here. We did check the booking and see that our team has already shared an update on the levied charge. Please note the charge is added post the complete inspection of the vehicle. The charge is valid as the underbody of the vehicle is damaged also, there is a huge impact in the engine. Unfortunately, we will not be able to waive off the charge. Hoping for your understanding in this regard.

Ramya. S

Updated by sanjay.bagelikar Hello Zoomcar,

We just drove 100 km and the vehicle stopped functioning normally which is not our fault and for the matter of fact, we had called the customer care over phone and followed the instructions given to us.Please review our customer care interaction history data with the car breakdown timing and verify before reverting on this matter.

We do not want your lame excuses and just want you to know that this is a case of irresponsible service provided by you.Kindly let us know who would have been responsible if the car exploded in such case.

We have followed all the instructions while we were on the trip and hence we are not accountable for this damage.

I have to get more rs. 360. The vehicle didn't have 10% fuel, check the image attached, it had 7% fuel,, which when i clicked on it, it didn't let me enter the same number (7) again, the minimum that can be entered was 10%, so i entered 10 %, you can check this in your app. And also i don't know what mileage that car would give in that condition, unserviced, can be seen from the condition of the car, check the images, also car is driven within the city so obviously fuel will be consumed and that is the reason we opt for with fuel and didn't go for no fuel vehicle. I got the car after talking to your support 5 times, you guys changed two cars. Originally i booked swift automatic madhapur location before 4 days, which you guys told me that the car is not available just before 4 hours of the pickup time and then left me with options which had other cars and another automatic far from my location almost 7 kms, in city 7 kms is too much, (You will give cab money but who will give time), which when i reached the location found that the car had damaged front bumper, red color car. After which i contacted you, asked me to upload the pics, and then i waited and after discussion i was given this car again in another location, i again had to travel to that location and pick this car which was with almost no fuel and in very very dirty condition. But since i had plans that day i had to take it as no other option and i managed but was extremely disappointed. I had to contact you again and had to car wash and refuel it, i have bank receipts from which i paid the fuel bill and the also the fuel bill, you may check with the petrol pump, it is a famous pump within area. I aint doing any fraud here nor want any extra money. I'm just asking you my money. I refueled your car and i should get my money. I have booked car with fuel and driving in city can consume fuel. And also i have driven 70 kms. Mileage also depends upon the car condition and also the fuel guage shows 10% differences of the fuel which can't attribute to exact measurements which you are talking. You should check the customers travel history with you before denying completely to help something which is 100% genuine. Money is hard earned and we travel with you bcz of trust and your guarantee to support but such behaviour defenitely discourages us to go with you. There are many others in the market. I don't have any need to threaten, this is a suggestion and a request from one of your users which well wishes you. Its just around rs. 400 but that is not the thing, it is the trust which breaks. I hope you would check into this and help further.

Don't u see the receipts I have you and the bank receipts... So does it mean if I take with fuel vehicle also I have to pay for the fuel... In that case I would take the vehicle without fuel.

I was illegally charged an amount of Rs.1496 which got auto debited from my account.
I filed a complain to my bank regarding an auto debit, which is a fraud by itself.
The bank says that the zoomcar merchant isn't responding.
It is such a shame to see Zoomcar work like that.

Dear team, i have sent a detailed e-mail with all my queries on 30th oct 2019 at 7:58am form "sravankumar. [protected]@gmailcom" to '[protected]@zoomcar.com'.

Please see the details below (Coping email content)

Dear team,

I had a trip strted on 29 oct2019 and completed on the same day. Booking id is jps66iwp7.

There is an out standing amount of rs426, which was due to late return. This is wrong projection. I have few issues related to this

1) the car is supposed to be delivered at keys hotel, hosur road (Pls check the screen shot attached). But, when i reach keys hotel at 6am,, i realized that location is changed. So, i took a auto to reach the new location paying rs 200. The car location was again showing wrongly. I called the call center and they gave me coordinates then found the car at 7am.

1) dealy isse: this 1 hour dealy is zoom car service mistake. Please pay me late hand over charges and auto charges of rs200, for changing location. So, i should get 426+200=626 rupees. Please arrange for refund as soon as possible.

2) fuel issue: in the beging diesel was 15%. At the time of return there is about 25% fuel. Iam attaching fuel bill as a proof. Which means, you should refund money for 3lts diesel. Please start the refurnd process as soon as possible.

3) deposit (Re tuning car) issue: the deposit of car is supposed to be at 9 pm. I am at the location by 9:06 pm. I have started checkout process by 9:10 pm. Please check. At that location, network was slow. Also. It was heavily raining. So, to take 360 degree view photos, it took long time. This is again zoom cars mistake, for selecting a remote location.

As a summary. You are due to pay me 626+220= rs 826. And waiver of out standing amount of rs 426 (Late return charges).

I am a customer zoom car service since 2 years. I am very dis pointed with this trip, on top of that you are enforcing charges on me. This is really a awkward situation situation.

Sravan

I have completed my trip on 12th october 2019 and i have not received my security refund amount back until now. Accordingly to the policy, the amount will be reflected 15 days after the completion of the trip and today is the 19th day. Worst service i have ever seen. I don't understand why it takes so long to refund the amount. Very poor experience. I have sent them emails but i have not received any resonable response.

My booking for zoomcar (Booking id - jps6xucx4) was completed on 8th october, and a refund of rs 6621 is still pending. The car i initially booked was a hyundai creta, which was later changed to a maruti brezza by zoomcar, due to unavailability of creta. The refund pending is still showing in the zoomcar app. Multiple emails have been send, all i got was generic replies.

Dear sir, i tried booking zoomcar on 20th april 2019 using bhim upi and the same failed and my amount was debited, and then later on i booked it using my debit card. I contacted zoomcar regarding the failed transaction and they said that the amount has not reached to us and asked me to contact my banking authorities. So i raised a complaint with my bank and bhim upi regarding the same. The resolution provided by both of them stated that amount has already been credited to zoomcar's account. And then i contacted zoomcar's with all the proofs and mail, but they are still denying it.
The details are as follows :-
Transaction id:[protected]
Date: 20/04/19
Amount: 698
Merchant name:- zoomcar.
Registered Email Id:- [protected]@gmail.com
I am also attaching the screenshots of resolution received from bank's and bhim upi end.

I have booked a car (Swift) with zoom car and after the booking was completed i had an update from them zoom car stating that i have to pay an additional charges of inr 7000 with a tag of "inconvenience fee" stating that i have misplaced rc which i did not do. Zoom car people were not even aware that i have returned the car in the same conditions, and they claim that they are providing the charges because of some inconvenience and not ready to justify the charges even though after asking in many emails.

They are unable to answer my queries and keep on ignoring the email and sending payments reminders and notices and threatening me that i will be charged under criminal offence where i'm sure that i did nothing wrong.

I do not think i'm the first person to report this as there are many issues which have been raised.

I have valid proofs to prove my self correct and not guilty.

I have made the booking with id jps6xnixj and deposit the 5000rupees as refund amount.

The car were breakdown in med of booking duration and i return it with extra fuel + less km + less time and with 1000 rupees repairing coast agreed by zoomcar.

Now they have to pay me 5000+1000+1000+2000

Updated by mohammadriyaz922019 Zoom Car reversal the charges and written the deposit amount 5000 rupees.
But when I asked for maintenance amount which is agreed with their team so they are making some nonsense story. Please see below email reply which I made by email.

See the trailing mail from your team with acceptance of incompetence.

Do not tell me about this nonsense stories about kerosene or anything.

See below what happened on 17th October, I have all the telephonic record conversation with your representative Mr. Mohammed.

1. Car stopped and not starting on highway

2. I called you customers service and they advised me to take it to local mechanic

3. Mechanic told me that there is low engine oil and I informed to your customer care agent.

4. Your customers care agent talked to Mechanic since I don't have knowledge about it.

5. Mechanic explained to him

6. Your agent told me to proceed with 1000 rupees oil replacement an[censored]pload the bill

7. Mechanic replaced the oil and then we start the car

8. After starting mechanic found that the coolent line is burst (damaged) due to heat

9. Mechanic advised me to replace it

10. I called your agent and he agreed to take car tow from place and refunds the remaining amount.

Get all the true information from your team and come back to me.

Accepted email with their mistakes

Hi Mohammed,

Greetings from Zoomcar!

Thank you for writing in.

With reference to your booking ID: JPS6XNIXJ, we are sorry to inform you that we would not be able to process the refund has the vehicle was fueled with kerosene and the front coolant pipe has been impacted. Hence, we have added the damage charges of Rs.10000/-. We request you to clear the outstanding amount at the earliest.

Zoomcar Customer Care's response Hello Mohammed,

We are sorry for the miss here. We did recheck the issue and see that the levied charge is valid as the vehicle was fueled with the Kerosene. The charge is valid, we are sorry we will not be able to do much in this case.

Ramya. S

Booking I'D JPS6XBWY8
I travelled on 7th Oct and paid 2791 in advance and filled the fuel for rs 500 end of the trip there was 780 excess amount to be paid, we uploaded the fuel bill too. for fuel, the charges are reduced from the total. which was ok
there was a big calculation mistake in the zoom app
instead of just adding the excess amount 780, they again added already paid amount 2791 and calculated as 2791+780-500 = 3071, and deducted 3279 from my credit card, where rs 208 not sure why they added it.

App Shows refund amount of 2999, but not received till date

not sure how to contact them not able to contact with the specified zoom numbers

We are sorry for the trouble caused. We did check the booking and see that you had to pay the security deposit while making the booking. As the same was not paid, the amount was auto deducted through the pre-authorization option.

Rest assured, the amount of RS. 2999 will be added to the booking and released within 24-48 hours.

This is a case of harrasment by zoomcar customer care and pressurising customers to pay unnecessary charges by putting pressure on them.

I have attched pictures that show the poor condition of the tyre which supports my complaint.

I had booked a zoomcar on 21st october 2019 having booking id jps6671in and it was a tata hexa mh43bp1454. It was a short trip and the car was driven in the city only on concrete roads and no harsh usage of the vehilcle was done..

Before taking the trip, i told the zoomcar customer representative at viman nagar pickup site about thr bad condition of the tyres.. He told me that nothing would happen as it is a short trip about 100kms and showed me how to use the spare tyre just in case.

I had parked the vehicle at konark campus (At the time of parking, all the tyres had air and no signs of a flat tyre could be seen) in pune and went up to sleep for a few hours before returning the car. When i came back, i saw a the flat tyre and called their customer care.. Despite an hour of trying, they were not able to provide me any help and as my booking had only an hour to end, i went out on foot and somehow found a tyre mechanic within 100meters from the car.. I called him, he changed the flat tyre and put on the extra tyre. I drove back the car to the drop site.

I did not ever drive the car with a flat tyre as it was parked at konark campus. It took some time for the tyre to get flat as there was a nail in it which was the cause of the flat tyre.. This is the reason why i could not see the tyre at the time of parking.

Despite all this, zoomcar charged me with rs 8000 for the flat tyre whereas the correct charges would have been just rs 300 according to their policy..

The car was never driven on any bad terrain which could result in such condition.

They have been harassing me by means of call and mail asking me to pay those charges or a legal matter would be initiated against me. I just try to make them understand that it was solely due to wear and tear as the car was driven over 59000 kms, hence i am not liable to pay for anything more tham the flat tyre which is rs 300. They seem to disagree and threaten me with legal notices.. And ask me to pay these charges.

They even told me that the tyre costs rs 10500 and they only charged me with rs 8000 to which i said that i wasnt responsible for 80% of the damage of the tyre and also if they have proof of me being solely responsible, then why are they not they charging the full amount. (I have attched pictures that show the poor condition of the tyre which supports my complaint.) to which they again said that they are escalating the matter to their legal team.

Updated by Indresh Puri It was just a flat tyre.. I shouldnt have to pay 8000 for just a flat tyre.. That to when i wasnt driving.. You guys never cared to check the nail on that tyre.. I have all the proof that this damage was not done by me.. Despite you guys have sent me a legal notice saying that i will have to pay otherwise a civil case will be opened against me..
The start and ending checklist was done by your representative thats why it is showing it as a valid charge.

I assure you that the damage wasnt my fault and despite sending numerous proofs about this, you are not reversing the charges. This equals to harassment.. I have already called ypur customer care to explain about the same atleast 10 times. There is no reason why you should file a case against me. And still if you plan to do, i assure you that i have the necessary proofs that show that the tyre was in a very bad condition at the start of my booking.. Despite telling your team about this, there is nothing you guys seem to do.. If you want to put up a case, please do so.. But i assure you it is your fault and not mine for this

The trip was made on 28th november, 2019. The money for extra kms was paid while dropping the car back. The refund was due in 15 days. It's almost been a month now. The app shows refund is initiated since a long time now. Customer care does not respond at all. The app is also buggy, crashes while making payments. What kind of service is this? Worst experience

I booked 1car for personal use, after journey completed return the car to their person, all photo uploaded properly verified by zoom car app and no due payment message displayed.
But next morning message from zoomcar for rs.500. Due towards car cleaning charges, second morning i received message from my bank rs.10500. Zoomcar deducted towards cleaning and damages. I do not understand how they can charge such unnecessary amount from my account.
