Zoomcar Complaints & Reviews

My booking id is JPS6FNZC3
It was 20% of the fuel before starting my ride. I did fueled the car with full tank.

I also submitted the fuel receipts.

In refund it is only 328 INR eas refunded and the reason they say is, I should not have fueled the car witg 2, 200. maximum I can fuel the car is 328 INR as per my kms.

I do not know how manipulative they are. They gave me 600 credits few months back when I did the same stuff. Now they looted my 1872 INR.

Please help.

Thanks,
Aditya Kiran

My zoomcar account with id: [protected]@gmail.com is shown blacklisted when I was trying to book a trip. The last I used the account was 3 years ago and I had successfully completed that trip. Now I have also re-uploaded my driving license as previously uploaded one was shown blocked.
Pls revoke the blacklisting as I have to book a family trip.
Respond fast. I'm a loyal customer of zoomcar

Dear sir,
We have seen a lot of our customers using v cool zoom cars and decided to use your services for our trip to bhavnagar from ahmedabad. Our intial selection was a i20 at the international airport station but was cancelled as we could not upload our details on time. Hence while we were on flight we got some one frpom our office to do the same which he accidently did at the pulin society naroda parked car. This where our iseries started. We came to know that there is no flexibility to make it an airport pick up or for that matter change the car to a pick up from the airport station. Although i must say it was our mistake to take the wrong pick up place and you ave your own problems as well i take it in the right spirit. We finally tracked tge place to naroda and ter was a blue i20. It was in absolute contrast to what we have seen otherwise as well as what is parked at your airport station.. It was scratched on all sides, tail light broken and the worst... It was a dirty vehicle. Upon calling the cotact mr rusi shah, e infoirms me that the car had just arrived from a previous trip hence it was dirty... Ther was no zoom car branding on it as weell. When i told the gentleman to come across to unlock as well as help us with the procedure since we were first time users as well as our cell phone batteries were low. He was like "no i cannot help u. You have to do it by the app." eventually we got our way around it and then we realised there is no fuel in it. When i called him up, he says you can fill it. We will refund you. There was total flexibility this time as it suited him very well. I had opted for a full fuel and blocked the am on the card and now i would have to spend more and wait for a refund. Upon asking him if we could return the car at the airpoprt station we were told it has to be returned at naroda itself. Once again a case of a one sidede flexibility. While returning the car we again asked rusi shah to check it but he very promptly parroted"its a self drive and self hgelp scenario" repeated attempts tp end the ride via app was not happening with an error on the system. Finally the call center hgelped us out with it. While i appreciate the help from the call centre, the questions i have are

Why is it so rigid to malke anycganges to the booking even if i do it within 5 min of making the booking? P[lease understand that sometimes we are not aware of the geography of the place and we make mistakes, but ok since it maybe your company policy i can only offer you suggestiobns if you allow me.

Why was a dirty car, both on the inside and outside alloted to us? I am sure this is a no compromise and there is no justification for this

No zoom car branding... Not even a peeled sticker. Just yellow 3m tapes on the side

No fuel in the car, despite a request for a fuelled car

Tail lights broken, isnt this a very big compromise.
Iam sorry i am not trying to threaten you or extort anything from you but i have not seen any cars of such descrition wheather in bangalore, pondy, mangalore or even your depot at hansol

Tried with two credit cards to pay for zoom subscription. Initially money was not deducted hence i tried twice. Later after 3days money was deducted from both the cards and even zoom accepted it. After that in fact my zap subscription was rejected as the documents were not approved. Then they will have to refund entire money which was deducted. It was accepted by zoom car as well. But they have not initiated the refund yet even after more than 4 weeks now. Their phone will never work. It will ask to press 7 but will say wrong no when you do that.
Even if you raise mails also they will send irrelevant replies but not resolve it.
But the refund around 64000 rupees has not been processed yet. Below are the ref ids

Attaching the communication with zoom car also.

This is regarding booking id: jps6fb07h.
Please note we have requested for zoom car rental on date 13 march 2019 and have made an advance payment of amount inr 20349 in good faith for the duration from 16th mar 2019 till 23 mar 2019. We have decided to take their services considering their tie-up with club mahindra where we were heading for our holidays and their reputation in the market.

We were very disappointed and stressed as we didn’t get proper support and services from their end as expected and now we are totally annoyed and distressed with their behavior of not refunding our payment for the services which was not used.

We have hired their services from 16 mar 2019 morning, 6 am till 23 mar 2019, 9 pm. Due to some personal reasons we requested them to provide the car around 10 am on 16th morning for which they advised us to take delivery 10-15 km away from our bangalore temporary residence which took us 1.5 hrs to reach due to heavy traffic, when we visited the place to pick the car there was no one from zoom car to provide the delivery and importantly the car didn’t start after a lot of tries, we were stranded there for 1.5 hrs doing follow up with zoom car customer care to provide the alternative. We were given an alternative again 10-15 km away from the first pick up point for which we have gone through the pain of heavy traffic again to pick the delivery of the car, although on discussion with zoom car they agreed to compensate the fees for the time lost for 07 hrs and advised us to rent the car to the next delivery point for which they will going to make the payment. We reached the next destination again in 01 hours’ time to pick up the next allotted car, we have identified a few major points of accidental damage to the car and have highlighted in the zoom app before pick up. The car was picked from the next destination after the completion of the checklist. The car drove fine till our residence and when we started our journey after loading the car to our destination madikeri which was 300 km away from bangalore, we have started finding difficulties while driving the car which was jerking on gear changes and the same was immediately notified to the zoom car customer care between 3:30-4:30 pm to provide us the with the alternative as we cannot take a risk to drive the car for 300 km as we have 04 small kids and 02 female passengers on board. We have already wasted the whole day in just pick up and delivery of cars and the whole family was totally tired and mentally stressed due to this mismanagement and mis-coordination from zoom car management, rather rendering support to the family it was informed to us to get the car local checked from the mechanic or either return the car to the same place of pick up. We have already drive 10 km from the destination and was in no condition to drive the car back considering the jerking condition as it was totally unsafe, and we don’t want to risk the life of our family members. We notified the zoom car customer care to pick the car from the detonation where we stopped and have requested them to provide the alternative when zoom car the customer informed that they do not have another alternative and cannot do anything for replacement on the same day, we have requested them to pick the car from the parked destination and have looked for a new car as alternative.

After a lot of follow up we found and hired the new car around 7:00 pm in the night but we were not allowed to leave the destination by zoom car without formal handover of their car to their representative who came after a lot of follow up at around 8:30 pm for pick up. On handover, the car condition was advised to them and we have embarked on our journey as the whole family especially small kids faced a lot of trauma and restlessness due to this whole mismanagement by zoom car.

We would request to provide us with the total refund and the compensation for our day lost in the pre-booked resort additional money paid for hiring the new car and mental stress & trauma faced by the whole family during the journey facing the torturing heat, traffic, and pollution while stranded in the middle of the road.

I need a self-drive car for some personal work, earlier i suggest that zoom car is best in self-drive service, so, i booked a car thrice and it is comfortable and best in service and discounts and the best thing is home delivery is prompt in time and the executives are also well behaved. Since last many days, i am unable to book a car because zoom car has blocked my account without any reason though i am a supermiler's club member without any reason my account has also been blocked.

After parking on the same place from where i picked it up zoomcar is charging incovenience fees. I have ended the trip on the same location.
The customer support also not telling me why this extra charge is added.
Kindly respond to this complaint and help us from the zoomcar looting policy. They are charging an extra 10000 rupees which is a huge amount to pay as fine. And they are forcong us to pay i have proof that i have ended my booking even before the ending time and on the same destination.
Kindly resolve this issue.

That, I Mr. Mohammad Shoaib has availed the Zoomcar service for my trip to Kerala from 22.03.2019 to 26.03.2019. I was allotted Hyundai Grand i10 as per my choice and the booking ID was JPS7FX21K. The total amount paid for 1050 Kms was Rs.13281/- which includes Rs.5000/- security deposit which is generally refunded after the completion of journey.
That I started my journey on 22.03.2019 by taking the Grand i10 from Zoomcar designated parking bay at Vellakkal House, A.K.J Road, Edappally Post, Thrikkakkara North, Ernakulam, Kerala-682024. I reached Munnar on the same day and later started my trip further on 23.03.2019 by visiting the local sightseeing places. While driving the car, I noticed some problem in clutch plate to which I reported the same to their customer care number wherein I was advised to take the car to local mechanic and take the estimate. Accordingly, I alongwith the help of local people managed to take the car to the mechanic at Munnar wherein after inspection, I was told that the clutch plate is damaged and needs to be replaced and the total expenditure of Rs.9200/- will be incurred. Consequently, I informed the estimate to Zoomcar customer care to which I was told that tow van will come and pick the Grand i10 and will be sent to Hyundai dealer.
When I requested them to arrange for alternate vehicle, I was told that they don’t have any vehicle and I have to bear the expenses for transportation of my own. In between I have parked the car at parking bay and gave the address to their customer care for pick up. Later I receive the call from their Road side assistance that I will have to take the car to the Hyundai dealer to which I protested and finally car was taken by Zoomcar road side assistance and accordingly I received a message on 23.03.2019 that journey has been completed. When I further asked about the refund status as the journey could not be completed due to internal defect in the car, the customer care has reverted by saying that there will be investigation of the matter and accordingly it will be found that how car got damaged and if I am not found responsible, the amount will be refunded. When I requested then to share the investigation report, I was told that investigation report is not shared with the customer. While the matter stood thus, I received a message that Rs.10000/- has been imposed for damaging the vehicle on 24.03.2019 at 01:00 hours and was asked to pay further Rs.5000/- over and above Rs.13281/- which was already paid while taking the Zoomcar.
That I have never crossed the speed limit during the trip and the defects which have occurred is internal for which I cannot be made responsible. The whole trip got suffered due to above incident and I have to bear the further expenses incurred on transportation which amounted to Rs.11000/-. I even have to hire the local person for taking the car to the local garage and paid an amount for parking bay and also to the local person hired for assistance.
Whole incident was catastrophic and Zoomcar services have not helped me in the matter. Neither any support with respect to taking the vehicle to local garage was provided nor was any alternate vehicle provided for completing the trip.
All the details of the customer are checked before releasing the vehicle, however, on the other hand, the company does not even provide the investigation details and take punitive action against the customers without affording them any opportunity to put forth their submission. Fine imposed is wrong and without any basis.
I have never crossed the speed limit and drive the car with all safety measure and that can be seen from their vehicle movement details but still I am penalized for no fault of mine.

Hi,
On 23rd march 2019 we had booked for zoom car along with fuel, but when we checked the fuel guage was not filled, so we had filled the fuel and thought of claiming it, on the end of journey, i completed the journey by uploading the fuel receipt, but zoom car people is not saying they won't refund the fuel cost, as it is sale receipt. We have attached all the required proof. Also the deposit amount was also not refunded till now

There is unreasonable charge applied on my booking.
1. cleaning charge - i have already mentioned that car wasn't clean before we started our trip . I had also try to get in touch with you through your customer care number before trip started but unable to do so. So during inspection i have mentioned it.
2. fuel charges- we pick car with 4 point fuel and returned the car with same fuel level. During trip completion i have given the snapshot also.

I have tried to contact them multiple times but unable to do so. I have send them multiple mails regarding the same but an auto generated mail comes back.

I booked a zoomcar for use on 1march 2019. My booking id - booking id - jps6ft0or. I have not received refund of rs. 2344 (Deposit) in my account. I got emails from company that my refund was initiated way back. After that, i have mailed the company customer support twice but no response. Even on customer care ivr, there is no option to talk to executive. I think a scam is going on and they are not refunding deposits.in the image attached, it clearly shows rs.2344 in "processed refunds" but i have not received the money back in my bank account.

On17 march, zoomcar gave a response that they will start refund and i will get refund in 24 hours but no use. Today is 24 march. The amount has still not reflected in my account and its not going to reflect. Please check and provide my refund. If you need some other account details, i can provide that as well. Drop me an email requesting another account details and i will provide

Refund of ₹3763 not received yet. Whole amount of the booking had to be refunded as we did not use the car at all. The car was unfit to be driven and no alternative arrangements were made by them. Booking id is JPS6FVL6S. The customer care number is also inactive since past 10 days. No way to contact them. The refund was supposed to be received by 11th March 2019. But no such amount has been received yet.

My ID: JPS6FDU1Y
I didn't notice the crack on the windshield at the time of delivery because it was under the wiper and it is not so visible. It is visible only when you see it from some angle and close up look and open the wiper. The reflection on the glass has added to its invisibility. When I was taking a video I focus more on the body dent and scratch, so the windshield does not come properly. But the crack that which was their in some parts came quiet visible.
Next day I have received the same car for my booking and when I check it was not visible properly then also. The crack was seen only when you see it from some angle and close up look and open the wiper. Now you cannot expect your customer to notice each and every damage at the time of delivery. When the driver who came to drop and pick up the car they both also did not notice the damage. How come the person in garage notice immediately and call me up.? That too at night? That was the biggest puzzle i'm having.
Now if you have a trust issues with your customer go and see the car physically by yourself how the damage really looks like. I'm already fed up with this issue. If this doesn't get solve then going to court is the only solution left for me. I'd rather use Rs. 10000 fight in court then to pay zoomcar unnecessary.

When i started the car there was only 6% fuel and they are saying it was 23% and i filled 1500 rs fuel and they gave me only rs 296 saying that more fuel was utilised more than expected.
First of all they were saying wrong that the fuel was 6% and another thing they how could they judge that with around rs 600 we can ride more than 200 kilometres like creta, they are totally giving illogical reason just to hide their mistake and this was totally a very bad experience with zoomcar.

As per the company policies, it was told that refund(of Rs 2500) will be done by[protected]. But after many emails and complaints the company has not provided me with any refund. They are also not responding to various mails written by me.
Kindly provide me with refund as soon as possible, as being a student it is difficult for me to manage.

We booked tata hexa via zoomcar on 8th morning for 15th of march. I went to collect the car from a zoom point and i hardly drove for 300 meters and was not even out of zoom car zone when the clutch failed unexpectedly. I immediately called the zoomcar customer service to inform them about the failure. I asked for a replacement car but they refused to provide me with hexa as they were out of availability for that one. They provided me with...

I had made a booking with ID: JPS6FBIID on 13.03.19 for a Maruti Swift AT from Sion in Mumbai. Apart from having many scratches and "major damage" on the driver's side rear panel, the passenger side rear wheel had two punctures and the spare had low air. The car fuel was also low in spite of opting for the "with fuel" option. This car was parked in a narrow gully opposite an apartment complex with a lot of people and vehicles passing by. I filled the pre-trip checklist, mentioning the puncture, the rear panel major damage, and the various minor scratches. The app said that the vehicle was "unfit" to drive and that I would get a call in 15 min. After about 20 min, as I had got no call, I called the helpline and stated the issue. The girl on the line told me that there was no ground executive nearby and if possible, I should drive to a nearby shop and get the puncture repaired. Just as the call ended, a man walked out from the apartment complex and told me that the tire was low on air. On asking him about how he knew this information, he said that he got a call from the owner about the same. So I drove the vehicle to a nearby shop. There I found out that the vehicle had not one but two punctures (pictures attached), that I got repaired. Also, I topped up the fuel.
After my trip, I returned the vehicle, uploaded the bills and ended the trip.

I was happy to see that the fuel refund was processed; however, to my shock, I was billed for the "major damage" on the passenger side rear panel. The part replacement charge i.e rupees 6000 was demanded. I immediately called up the helpline and asked them why I was being billed for the "major damage" that was present when I picked up the vehicle and was indicated/selected in the pre-trip checklist. I was assured that they would look into the matter and that I would get a call in 24 - 48 hrs. It has been one week and I have not gotten a call yet. The only change is that I have got a notice that if I don't pay within 5 days, legal action will be taken. Also, the puncture repair charges were processed.

I have been a long time faithful zoomcar user, having successfully completed 8 bookings before this. I am disappointed with this entire episode. I can understand that the car fuel can be low and vehicle tires do get punctured. I even don't mind the effort I put in to get the tires repaired and fuel filled. However, being charged for damages that I have not incurred and which was clearly indicated in the pre-drive checklist, is simply unacceptable. I am a busy professional and have no time to get into such legal hassles, hence I have paid the amount in good faith, with confidence that this is a good company who value their customers and will do what is right.

KIndly look into the matter and resolve it at the earliest.

Thank You.

Refund not received-nor any updates-fed up of follow ups. Booking id number jps6ftn9y. Booked the car for 3rd march 2019. Paid rs 1200 for refueling as i received the car with no fuel absolutely. But till date i have not recieved the refund. Nor there is any updates. My phone number is [protected]

Last time when there was amount pending from my side, though not legitimate, i had to follow up so much to get it removed to book the cab.

When they need to refund, there is no update at all

Please help

Thanks in advance

Hello
I booked for a no fuel zoom car - suzuki swift for 9am at chennai airport. After multiple calls to the customer care and the zoom car centre, we got a different car with fuel filled half tank at 11am.
Not a single person apologised for the delay instead kept justifying why the delay happened from their end
We booked through website and we were not asked for a delivery point and hence they took it for granted to deliver the car at the airport

We had to speak to customer service, fleet guys to pick the car from our location cos we are in town for visa interview. 2 men from the zoomcar centre (Fleet guys) picked up our car and charged us additional rs 500 claiming that the driver needs to be paid
Considering that there are so many centres in chennai, why should we pay a driver.
Anyways as a gesture of providing the car delayed, they could have done this.

After the pick up, they say they will charge for the fuel consumed.

Where is the service in this bloody zoom car
What have you done as promised
What loyalty do you do to your customers
Where do you listen to their problems

I really hope you shut down as soon as possible and people who are capable of running a service oriented business take up and provide authentic service to public
