Zoomcar Complaints & Reviews

This is regarding co-driver licence uploaded which has not been approved even after 2 business days. The issue arose when i tried to contact them through mail. I sent 3-4 mails regarding this issue but have only got robotic automatic replies which didn't satisfy my query.

I also tried to contact them telephonically but couldn't connect to a human costumer executive even after multiple attempts.

I have been a loyal customer since more than 3 years and am completed disappointed with zoomcar's attitude towards managing customer's queries even after claiming "24x7 assistance" which is a big joke.

I have booked a pedl near rmv club where i have used it for half and hour but i was not able to end the trip as it was stated that parking is full but i couldn't wait for long thinking that i can end it later but i m being charged minute by minute and not able to end that trip yet. So please try to resolve this issue as soon as possible. This is so irritating and there is no customer support contact details that we can connect to them and convey our issue.

I made a booking for a trip. I tried uploading the license to their app and their interface was not allowing me to. Next day my booking was automatically canceled. So, i called their customer service, first of all, it's so difficult to reach their customer representative as their automated call feature is pathetic and keeps directing me to the same option again and again. So, i had to try all the possible combinations to get to talk to their representative.

The representative was so rude that he denied completely that there couldn't have been any problem with their system. When i said that please explain why would i pay rs 16000 and not upload my license. I said i don't want the refund, i want my booking to continue. He disconnected the phone.

I had booked a creta from zoom car and my dropoff time was 2 am and i returned the car at 1 50 itself but still these people has imparted a late fee of rs 1635 on me.
They got a worst service.
They cheat people.
I will complaint in consumer court for this.
Why will you guys leive me late fee even thiu i return tha car in time.
I dint even utilized the full free kilometres.
Resolve as soon as possible.

Me and my friend took bicycle ride today. Everything was great except to the point where we had to end our trips.
We went to the pedal stations but the trip was not getting ended. It was showing the parking as full but there was still space available. We tried for 2-3 pedal stations but it didn't work anywhere. It took around 30 minutes for us and finally we had to return by locking the cycles. The cycle numbers are 100173 and 102222.

Hello sir,

But again on mobile screen end trip button came for cycle 100492.
I again end the trip at 11:23pm on same day and ₹3 deducted from paytm account.
Total amount deducted =₹2+₹3= ₹5

Hi,

I booked suzuki swift but as it was unavailable, i was given mahindra kuv 100. While picking up the car from parking site, i inspected and submitted the inspection form on mobile. Surprisingly, i could not find any zoom car staff member. The condition of the car was not kept good. There was a dent on the rear left door and minor scratches almost 50 % of the surface. Also, from inside the condition was no better. The seats were torn out and the rear seat was displaced from its actual position. Music system was crap. Left side speakers were not working. Handbrake of the car was loose. Many a times while driving the light used to flash up in the display panel. If the attendent would have been there i could have made him aware of my concerns related to the car.

The parking site was half dig and hence the parking of cars were not proper. I took few pics and videos of the car and drove off. When i came back to surrender the vehicle, the zoom car staff told me that the dent has happened by me and need to pay for that.

I was imposed a fine of 5000 inr as damage fee. Their investigation almost took a month during which they asked me to pass the pics as evidence. Which i did but still for no reason they came back saying i need to pay the outstanding amount. Till now, i have received two legal notices. Surprisingly, i got those when the investigation was going on. Which should not happen in ideal circumstances. Issuance of notices should happen only after the outcome of investigation.

I declined to pay any fines as the damage has not happened by me. I have got the pics as evidence if this goes into a legal route.

There are a lot of areas wherein the company should improve rather than troubling customers like car maintenance, customer care, mobile app etc. Suggestion to zoom car is in mobile app form it should be compulsory to submit pics/videos to avoid any dispute like this to happen.

I am very disappointed with the way this case is handled by zoom car. Anyways, this was my first and last experience with the company. Its not the company i will recommend others to go for.

Regards,
Roopesh

I am Sagar Kanetkar and I had booked a zoomcar on 28th April 2018 for two days. I was alloted a swift car bearing no. MH43BG5587. The car had external damages which was shown on the checklist. When I started driving, I noticed that the bumper or mud flap was brushing against the rear tyre. The wheel balancing also wasn't in place as the car was swirling all over the place. It is a defective vehicle which Zoomcar is providing. When I complained to the customer service I was told to send images. The problem was occurring when the car is in motion. I was telling them to send someone to inspect the vehicle but they kept saying that they wanted images (foolish customer care executives). Moreover, they told me that they can't allot any other car and since images were not provided, they can't refund the booking amount. I am disappointed and disgusted with zoomcar response and attitude. They don't care for their customers. I won't use zoomcar ever and will tell all my friends not to use zoomcar. They have ruined my anniversary plans. Zoomcar is a rubbish organization and I hope they stop this attitude and provide good cars. I want my refund back as zoomcar is at fault and not me.

I had booked a zoomcar vehicle on 28th April 2018 for 2 days for my wedding anniversary. When I picked up the vehicle, there were few external damages to the vehicle but when I started driving the vehicle, I found out that the bumper was brushing against the rear wheel and making all kind of sounds. Moreover, the wheel balancing wasn't in place and the car was swirling all over the place. I contacted the customer care and they said that they wanted images. I kept telling them that the issue occurred when someone drives the vehicle and is not visible externally. They kept telling me to send images. I told them that I don't want to take a risk of driving a substandard vehicle, but they kept insisting on images (foolish customer care executives). I requested them to send someone to inspect the vehicle, but they said no. Further they tell me that no other vehicle can be allocated and they cannot process my refund in the absence of images. Generally, the pick up location is a zoomcar site but this one wasn't as it was a partner vehicle of A-1 Travels in Borivali East. I told them that you have ruined my anniversary plans. Forget the vehicle replacement, they don't have the courtesy to process refunds. I am sorry to say that this is disgusting and disappointing. I will never use zoomcar again.

Hello ZoomCar,
I have been trying to call you guy but can't get through to a person to talk to.
This complaint is regarding a booking which was done by my brother with the registered mobile number [protected].
The people of zoom car vizag did not have any issues when we delivered the car safe and sound. They did their regular checks and we paid for the extra kms as well, they had to rush us off as they had to give the same car for another booking. We receive a call after a week stating there are charges accumulated for scratches on the car. We made sure there was no issues while returning the car and suddenly we had charges. My entire family has been using zoom for way too long in Hyderabad and Mumbai. We never faced issues like this.
Anyway, now we get a message stating if we font pay there'll be legal action.
Could you please give us a call and sort this out. Its not difficult for us to pay, we just want genuine service and want zoom to be transparent on their charges.
If ill have to pay you guys for the damages claimed which we arnt responsible for then a consumer complaint will be in place as well.

Thank you

We will be expecting a call back.

Please call us between 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM on preferably on [protected].

I had rented the car from april 5th to april 8th from pune to mahableshwar. They had totally charged me rs. 6717 inr. The same was already settled.

The drop time was suppose to be 2 pm on 8th april. I reached by 3.30. They have charged additional 1400 inr, which i am ready to pay.

They have also charged the cleaning charge of 1000 inr. The car given to me wasn't clean. I had informed them of this. Still i don't mind paying the same.

They have charged damage fee for 500, claiming minor scratches in front bumper. I told them i have caused no such damage.

Further, they have charged me an inconvenience fee, which after further inquiry turned out to be for the "lost key". I ensured them, that the key was very much in the dashboard. They then said the key was damaged, hence the charge
The key provided was already damaged. It is a non remote operated key. For the same they have charged me 10, 000 inr. The key had just come out of the socket. It was still operational. I asked them, how can they charge 10, 000 inr for an old traditional key, which we get for 500 inr? They didn't reply to my query and sent me a notice. They even threatened to send they recovery agents to our house if the payment was not made.

I have no issue in paying for late fee and cleaning charges. I even don't mind paying for the minor scratch in bumper (500 inr). But 10, 000 inr for a normal old type key is not appropriate.

Requesting help

Yesterday evening, i've unlocked a damaged pedl cycle no:102557.. It's lever is broken already... But to lock it again and end the trip the lever got stucked..

I booked a swift on april 22nd for 4 days and was due to be returned on april 25th.
When i arrived to get the car, i was asked by the fleet executive to make the video of 'car body' capturing all the dents which i did. Conveniently...
