Zoomcar Complaints & Reviews

I had booked a car on 17th june, 2019. The booking id is jps6bv40z and the booking was complete on the same day. I have paid security deposit of 2999 which would be refunded in a week. But it's been 20 days and i still didn't get the refund. I've sent mails regarding this many times but there is no reply and even the customer care number isn't working.

Dear Harshit BHUSHAN,

This e-mail is with reference to the booking made by you with Zoomcar through Company's webpage/mobile app with the following details -

It has come to our attention that the car has been used in excess of the paid rental amount and in accordance of the agreement duly verified and acknowledged by you, you are liable to make payment of ₹4000 to the company. Please note that failure to make payment of the due amount will render you liable to civil proceedings and the company would be entitled to recover the due amount by attachment of your property (movable/immovable) or otherwise. Further, willfully declining or making delay to pay the above said outstanding amount could also subject you to criminal proceedings.

We therefore request you to make payment of the aforementioned outstanding amount of ₹4000 within 5 days of this mail, failing which we shall be constrained to initiate against you civil and criminal legal proceedings as are warranted by law for recovery of the due amount.

This is regarding booking id - jps6bdmi7
For no reason, the company is asking me to pay ₹6000 pending amount for damage charges. Whereas, i left the car in the same condition as it was before. There were no damages done to the car. This is totally wrong of the company to charge the customer for no reason. I had to face a lot of difficulties that day in locating the car as it was parked in the parking lot of a housing society. First of all, i chose viman nagar and they located me a car from yerwada, kept in a parking lot. How am i supposed to find a car there. There was no executive from the company to help me. Now, for no reason they are claiming damages which is totally wrong. I did not damage the car at all. Please help.

Hi,

I have made booking with zoom car on 27-jun-2019. Booking id is:- jps6b4vvo.

I have completed booking successfully before time. I have not exceeded free km limits and fuel meter was also showing more fuel then started. I have also parked my car at proper location.

On difficulty i have faced was while completing booking after uploading all photos of car i was not able to lock the car through application.

On application it was asking me to call for customer support [protected].

Now this customer helpline number is not tariff free. Why its so zoomcar?
Most of the people now a day will be using unlimited planes in there mobile they want be having balance. And as zoomcar is providing a time critical services this helpline number should be free. Assume one person got an accident and not able to call this helpline number as he is using unlimited plans.

Secondly, i have tried for 1 hours to call customer car but every time i press "6" - for any other query my call use to disconnect. Till date 4-july-2019 its same.

Without explaining to me for above booking they have charged 192 as outstanding charges.

I have tried to reach zoomcar many time through feedback, helpline number and sending e-mail though there help and support section. No response till date.

Really bad customer service from zoom car from every point.

Hello Team,
This is to bring to your kind attention that for Booking ID-JPS6BFIVC (Nexon AT – PB01N0376) While verifying the refund charges, I can see there is 1000INR has been charged as CAR CLEANING FEE. I would be grateful if you could check the booking start checklist because in booking start checklist car hygiene was marked as DIRTY & for my convenience I cleaned the car at my cost during the booking period.
Hence, I presume that it is an inadvertent error from your side. I request you to kindly verify and rectify the error by re-crediting the amount (1000INR) to the account.

After having booked zoomcar multiple times in the past, this is the first time i have had a horrible experience in bangalore. We drove for some extra kilometres for which i do not mind paying extra. However, they are charging us a fee of inr 5000 as inconvenience charges. What inconvenience they only know! First of all we did not get the car we booked, had to travel to another location to get the car and they are charging us for that. Horrible customer support. I booked a car on 29th june and ended the trip on 30th night on time along with diesel in the car. Still they are charging refuelling charges as well!

We booked tata tiago on june 28th night (Booking i d-jps6bfm8u) which had some major body damages before collecting and we had sent the pictures of that. After finishing the trip on 29th afternoon, with no accidents we returned the car safely with required pictures. After paying the full trip amount they are mentioning damage fee of rs.4000. We had not met with any type of accidents. Please check the pictures carefully and solve this problem as fast as possible. I had attached the pictures of the car at the time of collecting and returning.

Took zoomcars for the first time. There were two booking types, with and without fuel. With fuel costs me around 1k extra. I opted that for my convenience thinking the car will come with the fuel. When the fleet brought the car, the car arrived with 15% fuel and fuel light beaming, fleet asked me to fill fuel myself, told they will refund the money.

I went thru their help&support section-wallet&refunds-refund amount-what if fuel expense still not reimbursed? It reads, 'any fuel related expense provided if reconciles reasonably with the distance traveled will be refunded'. So, i have uploaded my bank transaction details citing the fuel swipe 1k on the same date of the booking. But not refunded after 48 hours. When called support, they said they wanted exact receipt given by pump station itself. After quoting the above answer from help&support they didn't wanted to listen, asked them to transfer to the supervisor so that can understand what i say.

Supervisor called me, and asked to call the pump station, go and collect the bill from them and upload. I said him to read what it displayed on their help& support, that clearly tells us 'to upload any fuel related expenses that reasonably matches the distance traveled', his answer, 'sorry we can't refund'. Said him again, 'i paid the fuel bill upfront for my convenience and believed the promise that it will be refunded', his answer, 'sorry we can't refund'. I asked him again, 'listen, when the car given to me, was with 15% fuel that recorded by the fleet, i have traveled around 200 kms recorded by the fleet, and when i gave him the car i returned him with 21% fuel fleet recorded that too, without fuel how would i have traveled', his answer 'no we can't refund'.

It's really bothering how can customer support could be this much ignorant to a genuine call to refund what promised and seems a prior scream to me that how would zoom cars can handle the issue of a customer, when they having different rules on their book not shown anywhere on their website, and different rules on their help page. Nothing less than a robots.

I have booked tata tiago zoom car from june 28, 8pm to june 29, 7 am (I. E. 11 hours). I have returned the car well in advance before 30 minutes of completion of the ride, in the location of the drop off site as shown in the zoom car app. I have driven an excess 30 kms which i have paid rs. 240 for that. Again they are notifying me to pay an inconvenience charge of rs. 10, 000, which i cant even understand for what it is. As there were major damages already in the car which i have taken a video all around the car before the commencement of the ride. I am sure that i haven't made any further damages to the car during my ride. I have also filled the fuel as to the level when we started the ride.

As per the company policies, it was told that refund (Of rs 2983) will be done by 5 to 15 working days. But after many emails and complaints the company has not provided me with any refund.

Not even this, customer support team providing false commitment and every time their tat is ranging from 5 min to 6 hours and now following email i have received after 16 days from zoom car yesterday saying:

"refund of 2983.0 has been initiated to your. As per your bank, the amount should reflect in your account by sun, 14 jul 1:05"

This exactly shows how they lie to the customers. Yesterday, i had long conversation with mr. Prashant and he assured me to get my money by 3:00 am on 29th june.

I have list of all people with whom i have discussed my issue and how they provide wrong commitments towards my refund.

Hi i booked a zoom car, the car was supposed to be with fuel. I took possession of the car from a location which was not a zoom car parking. So, i refuelled the car with fuel worth 500 and the fuel meter didn't change. So, i again asked the petrol pump attendant to fill the fuel of another 500. After the fuel wort rupees, 459 was pumped into the car, the attendant informed me that the tank is full. I uploaded both the bills on the zoom car app but they refunded me only 398 rupees whereas the refund should be off 959 rupees. I called the call centre 3 times, the first two times they say they will process the refunds but they don't. The third time the customer executive just hangs up the phone and doesn't pay any heeds to my request.

Hi,

I’m zap associate subscriber.. I bought a car and associated with zoom car and it’s been 2 years now.. Last 2 month before i have asked for termination and they informed me that need to serve 1 month notice period, post that they agreed to sell my car. But after this information mail no reply from zap team. I’m keep on trying to reach them but couldn’t able to reach as they have removed the option to reach customer care through ivr option.. Even mail also they are not responding.. Only auto generated mails i’m getting.. I need a solution for this.. First i want to cancel the agreement from zap and i want to sell my car..

Subash rajendran

There is no damage nor i returned car late nor ther is any such thing that they can held up my deposit, its almost been 2months i dint receive my refund yet. status shows refund initiated, but when will i get it? There is no option at all to speak to you guys. how to communicate? I have raised complaint on app many time but no response at all. I want my Money back

I have made my rental car booking with zoom car on may 08 (#jps6bh5xo) and made the whole payment in advance ₹ 13111 more than a month in advance for my trip on 18-21 june.
I have been relatively new to this process of renting the car and while i approached (5am) to the location provided on the app on 18th june which is located in a apartment where no one is their to aid me on the booking, i have the done the checks which are to be done as per the checklist and on which car got unlocked, after the completion of my trip when i returned the car (2 hrs prior) and i have been levied with damage charges (Wind shield) of 9000inr which is not done by me, as being new to this process i forget to take the pic of the car while starting the booking, and now when i am requesting zoom to check the damage of the car through the cc footage which will be available in the apartment to understand that the damage is been their prior to my booking however zoom customer support never helped me on this even after several follow ups, to charge 9000 inr for the damages is no small amount and that too for the mistake not done by me. I have been trying to get in touch with the zoom customer service from past 5 days but no use. Attached the pics of the car after the booking, i request you to kindly help on this.

I have made my rental car booking with zoom car on may 10 (#jps6bu8lu) and made the whole payment in advance ₹ 18347 more than a month in advance for my trip from kochi to thiruananthpuram from 15-23 june.
I had made all my plans, hotel reservations for travel from kochi to thiruananthpuram for 8 days based on this car rental booking.
I was supposed to be provided the car at kochi airport at 8 am on 14th june however it did not happen and i then approached the zoom car parking lot and asked the zoom car staff for the booking and he said he is not having the vehicle (Ford ecosoprt) that i booked yet however there are another 2 vehicles however he can not give it until zoom car asks him. I then tried calling zoom car more than 10 times however i had been asked to wait for another 10 min everytime as they will call back which never happened.
I was strandedalong with my family in the sun and then eventually the zoomcar booking was cancelled wothout my consent and was told that my amount will be refunded. If i had done the same thing i. E. Cancelled the booking after the due date, the entire amount that i had paid would have been forfeited. However here i am stranded with family inn kochi and all my furrther plans and reservations being sent for a toss just becaused of this highly unprofessional behaviour of zoomcar.

Totally unacceptable
