I booked a pedl cycle from my phone. I am unable to lock the cycle. When i unlocked the cycle the first time with the phone, i saw that it was forcefully unlocked prior by someone. I tried to lock it and get another cycle but could not lock it. Now since i am unable to end my trip. 3/10min is getting deducted continuously. Cycle no. 3227063

Also, on the app, there is no phone number or email id mentioned for pedl related problems.in the faq section, it is said that if the cycle is unable to get locked, to contact the customer care team, but no contact is mentioned. Zoomcar has a number which only assists for car hire related queries.

I would like a refund of the amount being deducted.

Today, for the whole day i had been struggling because of zoomcar!!
I had booked one tata tiago for today morning from 5:30 am to 9:30 am, i went there to unlock my car but due to some technical issues with the app, i was not able to do so, after trying for 30-40 minutes, i was finally able to connect with zoomcar customer support to get this car unlocked, the car was unlocked at 8:30 am and zoomcar gave me extra 1 hour against my loss of time and 3 hours struggling for unlocking the car!!
I thought all the dark clouds are gone and now i can enjoy my trip for atleast 2 hours that i got from zoomcar but, it was not over yet.
At the time of returning the car, a lady called me for update whether i am delivering the car or it is taking time she also suggested me that your time is 10:30 however you can drop the car by 10:45 as it is the buffer time given to deliver the car. I did the same, delivered the car by 10:45 am but as the app was not working, i had to call the customer support again for resolution of this, the lady had taken 30 minutes to close this trip, those 30 minutes late fees has been charged to me.
There is no resolution from zoomcar customer support even after multiple follow-ups.

Hence requesting your support to get this refund as early as possible

Thanks,
Prem kumar

I tried pedl for the first time today. After i was done with my ride, i went back to the pedl station to return the bike. I could not end the ride as it said the bike was not at the pedl station. I tried atleast 3 pedl stations nearbym but still was unable to end the trip. It's been more than 2 hours now, i am still unable to lock or end my pedl trip. I am incurring unnecessary charges.

This is extremely urgent. I started a trip on the number, [protected], Under the name of Sarosh Chopra, Cycle Number - 3240193. I did exactly what I''m supposed to do when starting a trip.I unlocked the cycle, parked it at a station and clicked on "End Trip". For 3 hours the trip did not end. When i got done with college and returned to the station to unlock a Cycle, my trip had not ended still.

According to your unprofessional app, It states that if you leave a cycle at a station for more than 10 Mins, it automatically ends the trip for you. Contrary to this stupid message my trip did not end. I tried ending the trip again at least 10 Times, untill on the 11th time, I get a message saying that the station is full.

What kind of service is this ?

You guys have Horrible and I mean Horrible Customer Service and an Unresponsive and Pathetic User Experience Mobile Application.

Refund my money and stop acting like thieves.

I have been subscribing Pedl (Rs. 49 per month with 1 hr free time) for last couple of months at New Town, PIN 700156 (Kolkata).

Yesterday, I took Pedl cycle number 3174880 from New Town bus stand to rode to the NKDA market in 5 minutes, parked at cycle point and tried to end trip many times.
But the app did not end the trip.

Then I went to get vegetables from the market, but it did not end trip automatically after 10 minutes as it is supposed to do. I tried again but the trip did not end.

Your help was of no help as it has a set of stupid options which effectively lead to "Try Again" "No, thanks" "No refund" " No end trip request in last 5 minutes" and so on.
After about 5 hours the trip ended after I called your Chinar Park outlet.

5 min use - 5 hours charge
for no fault of mine.

I lost all my free time for the day on the top of it I was charged Rs. 8/-
And I had worry for all the time. I desperately tried find how to contact you without success!

I have similar experiences before also. And I was charge and my renting time was not adjusted with my free time on 19th October 2018.

I pray:

1. You (Pedl) improve the Mobile App
2. Improve the help so that it really helps.
3. Clearly indicate phone number where I can contact an employee who can help.
4. Clearly indicate email address where I can contact.
5. Return all the excess amounts charged and all my free time lost by extending my subscription. I do not know how you can reset my worries and anxieties caused by your bad apps.

yours sincerely,
Alakananda Mukhopadhyay

Booking:JPS64XTLM
I had booked a Mahindra XUV 100 under 30% discount offer. On the day of booking i got a call that booked car has met with an accident and they upgraded me to Hyundai Elite i20 sportz without any additional charge. There were damages on the car exterior and car was not properly clean on the inside. I gave back the car in time and in exactly the same condition as it was picked. I have been charged Rs 1000 as cleaning fees and when i questioned the charges they shared 3 images with me stating It was handed back in untidy condition.
My concern:
1. Images shared do not belong to the car i used. I asked them to check the images and car and verify. But even after telling them 4 times, they are claiming to be right.
2. The pick up checklist itself stated that the car is not clean inside. Then why should i be charged if i havr not made it untidy and received the car in same condition.
3. From the images. It can easily be distinguished that this is a car which has not been used or used for long time without Cleaning and the car i used looks completely different from inside.

I have even written to zoom car ceo and founders about this but the conversation is still on the same lines as on emails exchanged with them.

Kindly help to get the incorrect charge removed from the booking.

Please let me know if any further information is needed.

I didn't wish to continue PEDL (Mob. [protected]) service still forcefully without my concern RS.49 got deducted in advance from my paytm wallet on 14 Nov 2018 for the PEDL service from 17 Nov 2018.
Refund my amount back to my paytm wallet as I don't want to continue. I paid for 1month that's enough.
Without my concern how can my amount got deducted at 3.30 am?

I booked a pedl cycle (Cycle number:3224981) from chiner park, rajarhat zone and i locked in solis, rajarhat pedl zone after locked i could not end my trip now it 18hrs passed still i could not end my trip yet and my money is also being charged as it is connected with my paytm wallet. I already informed help and support centre zoomcar app side. But i did not received any msg or call or any help from your end. Please help me as soon as possible.

As soon as i saw that the damage charges were applied on my zoomcar account, i called the customer care and told them that i have the complete video of the car and there were no damages whatsoever. They said that sorry sir, the charges have been created by mistake and the issue will be resolved. But the issue was not resolved and so i called the customer care again and they gave the same reply again. The car which was given was very old and had bumps and dents every where, and the interior was also very bad. I sent a detailed feedback for the same as well as while taking the car i even called customer care and asked them to make note of this. I even have the video of the vehicle. After all this i still get an email saying that the recovery notice has been issue.

I have booked a ford figo for around 5 days to roam around assam /meghalaya (From 03 nov 2018 to 08 nov 2018). The booking was made prior 40 days to the trip (Booking id # jps64dhog), with zoom car guwahati. Just 2 hours before the pickup time an executive called me and informed that the car i booked was not available because of maintenance issues. When asked about any other car availability they said they are extremely sorry and no other vehicles are available and the refund will be initiated. I was shocked to hear that as all my holidays were planned according to that. They didn’t give any consideration as it was my first booking with zoom car and the booking was made 40 days prior to the trip. My huge amount of time and money was wasted because of this kind of action by zoom car. I had a very worst experience with zoom car by spoiling my trip.

I had a very urgent trip and booked a scorpio for 10 hours (200 km free and without fuel), from 7:30 am to 5:30 pm with pick-up/drop-off at manipal.
