Zoomcar Complaints & Reviews

I had booked zoomcar on 3rd aug 2019 from 11.00 am to 9 pm which we later extended to 10.00 pm. We were entitled to 110 km. We paid the amount in advance of 1064 rs with no outstanding. We picked and dropped the car well within time. We also filled 1000 rs. Diesel. When we returned the car in locked position, we had no outstanding amount. However later that day, zoomcar put rs.2000 inconvenience fee without any reasons. It such an annoying experience.

Dear sir/ma'am

Money has been duducted, didn't get car details and location, and for help i tried to call them many times by spending my talktime but all its waste i didn't get any rspond from them.

This is my booking id:jps6xqudm
Please help me out in this please.

Thank you

I've took the car neatly and placed the car neatly at the location shown in the zoomcar app. There no scratch or anything related to me i've submitted all documents which are asked and locked the car safely at the destination shown in the app. The car owner is raising a accident issue against me, which i'm not involved in. They are trying to blame on me the issue they have done. Im requesting to concern this and take action on the particular owner.

I booked a swift with fuel package for 240 kms on 29th July 2019. When the trip started the car had only 10% fuel which would not have sufficed for the trip. As a result, I filled fuel worth Rs 1500 (Bill attached). This amount has to be refunded and initially i got a mail that the refund has been initiated. Now, the app mentions that i have an outstanding and have to pay Rs 1500. The trip was ended before time and within the km limit woth no damage to the car.

I would like to ask zoomcar few questions. It would be great if they will be able o answer them.
1 - why zoom car doesn't inform the customer about the damages, scratches noted by zoom car (Which were informed by old customers while using that vehicle and which are not repaired by zoom car yet) to its customer to whom it is going to push the vehicle?
2 - why do zoom give the vehicle on rent without repairing it and only collecting the repairing charges from all customer? Does zoom plan to buy a new car with scratch charges collected from the customer without repairing the vehicle?
3 - does zoom assured that all other parts which are not covered in snapshot by customers are properly checked and maintained before handing over to customer or zoom plan to collect damage charges from customer saying that it happened during customer uses time? Why zoom does not give a check list of the items it has maintained and checked like oil filter, radiator, breakoil, silencer pipe, engine oil, breaking system and other parts.

I am a regular customer of zoom car but from a couple of months, i am trying to book a zoom car but the application is showing that you are blacklisted by the zoom car without any reason and intimation.

After that i have emailed almost 3-4 times to the zoom car support but there is no response from there side. I have also called so many times to the customer care number but not able to connect with the representative.

My e-mail i'd is - shubham. [protected]@gmail.com

Please help me out of this and provide a valid reasons for this inconvenience caused.

We have hired a zoomcar on[protected] at 4 a. M. Till 11:30 p. M of[protected].
After our trip we have parked the car from where we picked up and informed to zoomcar customer care (Check list filled by customer care). Customer care asked us to pay 2124 rupees extra charges by mentioning that we have exceeded default kms (675km while hiring) set for the trip. Their count is 851km but from our trip the original trip distance shown by car is 642km. (Initial km reading on car :75952 and reading at the end of trip is 76594). Since the count is not matching with their gps tracker, they told us keep the car keys in the desk and leave. We moved away from the car and they locked. We asked for initial km reading from their gps to check the number, they declined our request by stating that that number is confidential.

Suddenly after 2days they mailed us mentioning that we have to pay 8000 rupees for the damages during the our trip. I am 100 % sure that we have not damaged any part of the car, immediately we called the customer care of zoomcar and asked us about the damages. Then they asked "do you have any screen shot of checklist displayed on the app before your trip started?" since we forgot to take the screenshot of that check list... We replied no. Then the customer care was stating that there are damages on the front bumper of car and we have to pay 8000 rupees for that. We have taken a pic of car after completion of our trip and we told them that we will send the pic of car which displays front bumper of car clearly. They agreed for that and said will verify on the issue and take proper action afterwards. We didn't get a call back from them.

Here the original drama started. Next day we called them about the resolution. Now they started saying that side bumper is damaged and front bumper is fine. We completely understand that they want to loot our money in anyway. We disconnected the call and filing this complaint for proper justice. They are not agreeing to share any of data from their side.

I booked a car on 30 july for 8 hours
And no damages were dont to the car neither there were any cleanliness issues
The car was in extact same condition before it was given to me and after i gave the car back to them
The car representative looked at the car inside out when we came back and didnt say anything as there was no issue to complain
But today i. E. On 31 july 2019 they are complaining about cleanliness
This is unfair
Zoomcar is charging extra 1000 rs. For no reason and this highly unacceptable
Kindly look into the matter asap

These zoom car people are cheaters. I booked a vehicle on 22nd july in the midnight 11.30 p. M. (Approx) and returned the car at 6 a. M. Of 23rd july. We bardly moved the car from one place to other. We travelled about 50 kms at max. There was no damage done to the car. Not even a single scratch. I clicked the pictures of the car before and after the ride. They look the same. But then, these so called cheaters sent me an email asking me to pay the amount of rs 4000 saying that some damage was done to the car. The total fair i paid was 750 inr for the ride. No damage was done to the car and even after uploading all the pictures they are charging me with some unaccounted damage without any proof that the damage was caused when the car is under my use. This is completely unfair and i say whoever are facing the same issue should sue the company. I tried to call customer care but i wont get connected to a single person. When i mail [protected]@zoomcar.com they will send some automated reply. Now they have even sent me a recovery notice saying that failure of payment will lead them to file a case against me. What are my options? Please help me with this. Should i sue these people for this? Or do i just have to wait and show all proofs in court?

I booked a self drive car from zoom car on 26 june 2019. My booking was successfully completed. Car was returned in time and in the same condition as recieved. A caution money amouny of 2999 was taken during booking. The company promises to refund the amount within 5-15 days of completion of booking. After completion of 15 days and waiting for the refund, i did not recieve the refund. I called up the customer care to know what is the issue i was ensured that they are looking into the matter and will require some time. After waiting for 24 hours i called them again with the same issue. They told me they will be providing me with an arn no. With the help of which i can track my transaction, and it will take 24-48 hours to come back with an arn no. After waiting for 48 hours, nor my arn no. Nor my cash was refunded. And today one month is passed and my money is not refunded. I had send my bank statement to zoomcar in email showing no refund is done, still they had not given me any response.

Pathetic car condition.
When i picked up my vehicle from the site, it was in pathetic condition. The interiors were literally covered in dust and my dad frowned upon me for choosing an ill condition car. There were pebbles lying on the floor. Nearly 10 empty water bottles. Coffee cups. Ice cream sticks. Toffee wrappers. Mud on the seat/glove compartment. A pillow in the boot!!

It was in no way to drive. I had to take the vehicle to a cleaning place and took me a full 1 hour to get it cleaned. I had to pay 300 rupees for the express cleaning. All my trip was ruined right from the start.

I just want to know why was it not cleaned in the first place? As per logic, once a ride ends, zoomcar guys should get it cleaned, right?

I need a resolution to this. Please do something about it.
I have written to zoomcar twice and there has been no response from their end.

I have booked a mahindra scorpio on 26th june 2019 with a refundable deposit of 2999/-. With coupon code:luv50. After the completion of my booking refundable deposit should be credited by 14th of july 2019. I called the zoom car customer care multiple times but their is no response from them. Please resolve the issue as soon as possible. My zoomcar booking id - jps6n056n. Thank you.

I booked car from 10am to 5pm. When i reached the location, car was not avail. I called customer care and they told so many location and i wasted 45 mins and finally i got it in zoomcar maintenance guy's home that he took for cleaning. While ending i went to same location where i picked (Guy home). It was not ending and saying wrong location. Then that guy took me along with his son in the car. His son made dirty with some food. I ended the car as per his request saying car is clean.. Once i ended and left from that place.. Then he added that picture saying it was dirty.. Now zoomcar charged me 1000rs.

Please help me

Hi team,
I hope you can help me get my money back.
On 30th june i booked a swift at for the duration from 5pm (28th july) to 11pm (29th july) and paid 2167 rupees.
I booked it in advance as it was my birthday on 28th july.
The booking was made in the name of akshay raut, who is my friend.
On 28th july around 12pm i get a call from zoom car that they don't have swift and she would give me eco sport.
I said i need to discuss with my friend call me in 5 mins she said ok and called back at 12:15 pm saying they don't have the eco sport as well.
She confirmed that we will get our zoomcar late by 6:30 from akurdi station
I asked her about the exact location she said it would be shared 4 hours prior the journey.
And no one called us after that
We kept calling the customer service whose number was busy all the time
No one answered us
Literally no one!
Even the app had no information.
We still thought we would go to the akurdi station and check for the zoomcar office
We literally roamed in akurdi for 2 hours searching for there office.
There was no one
My birthday was ruined.
We had to take a hotel and stay there
I kept calling the whole night to the zoomcar customer service no one answered.
Even the next day i didn't get any details.
I just want my money back.
It's hard earned money.

Charged an additional rs 4000 as damage fee when no damage was done on car during our rental period.
Car already had few damages on lower left side as reported before booking.
Don't understand why additional rs 4000 is being charged on the account.
We returned the car safe and sound within timeperiod with pictures provided at return.

I had a booking (Fully paid in advance - inr 13, 357 including refundable deposit of inr 5000) for a ford endeavour for the 15th of june 2019 from pune (Booking id jps6bhgqs) at 7am. Zoomcar was supposed to intimate me on the car's pickup location 3 hours in advance - forget 3 hours, it took me around 45 min to get to a customer service executive, who simply told me that the car is not yet assigned and asked me to wait little longer. 3 similar calls were made by me until 9am with no response, which is when they finally called to say that the car had an accident and i either have to choose another suv (Tata hexa was the only 7 seater available) or get a full refund asap and additional 1000 points (Equivalent to inr1000 as mentioned by malvika, their customer rep - i have the complete phone recording). I chose full refund and they promised me that it would be done within 5 working days. However, 2 weeks later i get a mail notification that only inr 10, 891 will be refunded (Screenshot attached), and they wanted my bank account details (For some strange reason, they couldn't refund to my credit card which was my original payment mode). I have made multiple complaints via the app (As once your trip is supposedly "completed" you can no longer reach a customer car exec), but in vain. I even reached out to one of their directors via linkedin (Jyoti sankar choudhury) but i have had zilch response. All related screenshots are attached - i want a full refund of inr 13, 357 as well as the 1000 points that they promised.

The car i received was involved in a major accident before and was in a really bad state as said by the owner himself several damages existed and i tried to cover them all and posted multiple pictures of them on time of pickup the fuel reading at start was null and the car was in reserve we returned the car with 1 point fuel instead as a good deed and the car was very unclean already and the owner lived in a slum kind of place which was very hard to reach to and the car was totally dirty already wen received and at the end of the trip the owner asks us for money or threatens to file a complaint for damages in zoomcar and now i have outstanding amount. I already filed a complaint at zoomcar for the state of the car and a technician comes in and doesnt help out and they say they dont have any replacements available due to heavy demand and i get charged for an already accident vehicle which ruined my trip i am not able to reach any o[censored]r executives kindly help me out look into the case and also verify the pictures of the cars state and fuel from pics below and pics uploaded in start and end of trip

Booked a car on 26th july 2019 for 12:00 pm and was going to return on 27 th july 2019, i reached for pickup on time on the provided location and got the car at 1:40pm (With delay of 1 hr 40 mins). It disturbed overall schedule of the trip.
Another point, the insurance was going to lapse on 26th july 2019 which was the day of my journey and i was going to return on 27th when the insurance was already lapsed. This is not at all legal and professional.
The puc doc was also not there in the car.
The behaviour is so lenient, they dont care about your plans and stuff... They are just busy making excuses. Worst journey ever!!!
