Zoomcar Complaints & Reviews

Hi i have booked car the i'd number jps6tusee. One our trip finished, we got a response from zoomcar that the refund will come within 24hrs but after 5 days also i have not recived my rss.5000 refund. Kindly help me to get back our refund. I have send them repeated mail but one time they say 1 day next time they say 15days. I think the company is using our 5000 to run.

Hi,
I hired a ford figo for 33 hours from zoomcar and paid all the amount in advance. (Vizag city)
When i picked the car (Nad junction), there were many checks at the vendor outlet in the phone application and vendor made sure to go through al those checks except if car ac's is working or not.
Now after we pick the car and travelled about 10 kms, we noticed ac was not working.
The first thing anyone normally do is contact the customer care, it was shocking to got to know that there were no number listed on website directly and only way you can contact them is via app raising issues and then get an option to call/mail. Finally we got the number and again got shocked that the toll free number [protected] was not available. We mailed them hoping to receive a call immediately but no one called.

Now we searched on google and able to find a number[protected] and contacted the customer care.

This lady on the other side had below comments
- it was our mistake not to check ac before picking up
- no other vehicles available for the day
- get it dropped at vendor outlet and get refund for the unused kms (They would have deducted the whole amount in the name of default charges)
- get the issue repaired and ask for refund for the payment maid (It was sunday and all repair shops were closed in vizag city)

So in the middle of our journey where we had only one day in a different city, these guys refused to help us. We didn't had any choice but to travel with non-ac mode.

It was 42 degree celsius, we had a 1 year baby with us and travelled 300 kms in that extreme hot climate.

This is with regards to the zoom car booking reference JPS6TKAW1.
I had horrendous experience with the so called customer care who are supposed to hear out customers.

I accidentally did a booking for 28th of may whereas i was supposed to travel on 27th may.
I realized this on 27th itself and started talking to customer service immediately after that.
The customer service department that included (Ramya, Yeshaswini and Jennifer) were very un-helping and werenot listening to any of my problems and didn't offer any resolution whatsoever.
They kept on saying that you can only collect the vehicle based on the date of booking and they cant do any thing.
Please go through the situation i was in
I reached coimbatore on 27th I had no hotel reservations and was in a new place with my family and had to attend an event 200 kms away from Coimbatore.
Inspite of mentioning the fact that i cannot come back to collect the vehicle on 28th, customer care department said they cant do anything.

When i decided to cancel the booking i was told that 50% of the amount would be deducted and that would amount to a whooping Rs.5387.
This is a clear way of looting the customers who havent even used any of the company's services yet.

I request the company to reverse the rest of the amount asap .

I booked zoom car on 27may timing 9pm to 7am booking ID JPS6TU6HJ with in 15 mins I cancelled it and I pay Rs 6110 and they refund Rs 5000 not full amount.i Call and talked with customer care they told this is our deal we refund only Rs 5000 not deal amount.. What is this rubbish policy they makes us fool..this is my first and worst experience with Zoomcar.
Please refund my whole amount or Rescheduled my booking I'm first time user of zoom car.

Hi team,

I'm very unhappy with the zoom car service which i used last week, that's is the reason i'm writing this mail. As you know i have taken the zoom car service on 20/05/17 09:30 am to 4.30pm, during the morning who hand-over the key to me, he told me if i late beyond booking time which is 4.30 pm i need to pay the fine amount which is 500 inr per hour and he also informed me if i call customer care they will be help me for extending the hours and which will be avoiding the fine of 500 inr, so from 2pm onwards i was trying to call customer care and very first time they said its possible to extended after some time they said its not possible to extended via customer care and they asked me to extend via app. And i was unable to do that, because the app was not user friendly (There was no option in app to extend the trimmings. And finally i have return the car by 5.30 pm which is one hour late, and again the reprehensive at zoom car office he asked me to call customer care and he said they will help me on that. But unfortunately customer representative was unable to help me, he hand-over the call to his supervisor. His supervisor very rude to me and was not able to help also. Was on the call for 1 hour and it didn't help me anything apart from loosing the money for the phone call. He literally useless for customer care.

I have a concern here. When i call the customer care officer at 2 pm he said if he extend my time i need to pay extension fee and some charges but the same time i will be eligible for 10km extra, but when i return the car it didn't happened can i know why your customer care officers says something and you are charging to the customer something else.

I really want the explanation of this. Also please help me getting my refund amount for 10km extra charges you have made me pay.

Expecting a help from zoom car service.

I booked a car from them about a month back. The car broke down after a few kms. I was stranded in the middle of a highway for 4 hours because the car stopped for no reason. After which they did not provide another car so that we can go home. It was night and we were alone on the highway without any help. They should have checked the car before giving it so that it does not stop anywhere leaving the customer helpless. We could have been mugged there or something might have happened. It was night with no people around and on top of it, it was raining. After 4 hours finally the tow truck came and took us to the service center which was in the opposite direction that we were supposed to go in. But we had no option because they didn't give us one. Although they could have by providing us with another car. I would just like to point it out that this happened with me when i booked a car from Myles and they immediately came to the site with assistance along with a replacement car which now makes me think was so much better. After reaching the service center, we were assured that we will be provided with a cab so that we could return to our destination. This again didn't happen leaving us helpless yet again. We literally had to arrange it ourselves somehow. Everyone was calling to confirm whether the car has reached the service center or not but i did not even get a single call asking me whether i would like to take a cab. First of all it was their fault and they didn't even help. I talked to one of their managers as well. He told me that the company will pay for the cab and that i just need to call them. But I could not because all the numbers were busy and it was getting disconnected automatically. This was the first time that i felt so much humiliated and helpless. There was no follow up call after we reached the service center and we had to arrange everything ourselves. If that would have been the case, i would have booked a cab initially itself. Why would i need their company's service. Finally somehow i reached my place after struggling so badly. Next day i wake up to see that after all the humiliation that i have been through, i have been charged with damage charges. Instead of reimbursing and accepting their mistakes, they charged me for it. This was the worst experience that I have ever had with any company that is in this business. I would want them to apologize and to clear all the charges that should have not been put under my name since i am not responsible for the same.

We have booked zoom car and cancelled the zoom car on the same day, but still we have not got amount back, registered mobile number is [protected].

When i called zoom car customer care, they confirmed i will be getting the amount within 24 hours but still the amount is not credited.

Now i am not able to speak to any of the customer care number of zoom car.

I had rented two rides from the gvk branch in hyderabad and had deposited 2lakh for the each of the vehicles i booked which is refundable as said by your staff that the refund amount will be received between 4-5 working days its been more than 20 days and i still did not get refund for any of the two cars i keep checking my bank statements and i didn't get any refund from your company this is getting really annoying and you should look into this matter

We have hired a Car (Scorpio), for trip to Rishikesh from Zoom car and while coming back the car broke down. After calling customer caren we got solution only to leave the car and come back by paid taxi. We have already paid INR 15000 + fuel of INR 1000 and shall have to bear cost of cab Service.
We are still in Rishikesh right now and shall arrive late in delhi. Monday office shall be another issue for 7 o[censored]s. Expecting proper service solution urgently.

We planned for a family trip to ooty with zoom car. I booked zoom car for 5 days from thursday to monday. I was charged Rs.16000 + Rs. 2000 deposit. We started the trip on thursday by collecting the car and drove to ooty. At the top of the hill in ooty, after the 36 hair pin bends, the car broke down.

I immedietly called zoom car about it and informed. They asked us to take a taxi to our hotel and for returning and they will tow the car themselves and asked me to use a tax to return and they will refund my amount.

We spent 4 days in ooty by booking other taxi for 5k and then returned to bangalore for 12k from ooty. When I called back zoomcar they told me that the service report said I had driven bad and the car has been broke down because of me and I was charged Rs.10k for damage.

The car clutch was already bad when I received the car, I hardly drove the car uphill for 30 mins and the clutch melted down. I had 5 years of driving experience, as I have my own car here back in hyderabad and it was driven over 50k km and never had I faced any problem with it.

Zoom car not only charged me Rs.10k for damage but also refused to refund me for my taxi. I told them that I booked the car for 5 days, and I drove it only for 1 day, atleast give me the refund for 4 days which I didnt have your car, but they refused to.

If I had booked the car only for 1 day, i would still would have been charged for 10k damage, but now I booked the car for 5 days I dont get refund for the unused days + no promised taxi refund + 10k damage charges.

My total cost by choosing zoomcar to drive from bangalore to ooty =
16k(zoom car for 5 days) + 10k(damage) + 5k(4 days touring ) + 12k return = 43k

If I would have not choosed zoom car, I would have probably had a drive with a driver for half of its price.

I (Sagar kumar sahoo) booked a zoom car for 13th may 1pm to 4pm. Car details (Address and car number) received through message. Reached the location as per the gprs location sent by zoomcar. However there was no zoom car present there and the address received in message did not match with the address sent by gprs. After searching a lot we did not found the location sent by the zoomcar. So we returned back. After an hour at 2:04 pm we received a message as "pick up location has been changed and plan accordingly". There is no customer support number to contact with the executive. We tried a lot to contact the executive however no ivr option available for the discussion.

The money has been deducted due to the zoomcar negligence and fraud.
We request to return back the deducted amount rs 520 along with the security deposit of rs 2000 with a total amount of rs 2520 only

This Company is one of the worst customer friendly companies I have come across. Their customer support staff is arrogant. First if all their website and application sucks. Simple booking becomes difficult. Purposely they have made their Sapp a little complicated so that we make mistakes while booking. For eg. I wanted airport pick up at coimbatore, I selected airport pick up but somehow during the transition it got changed to another pick up point. Then licence scanning is not smooth. Seems they don't understand india. Then the car given to me was not checked properly. The car did not have a rear view mirror. The previous customer who took the car on rent last time broke the mirror 4 days back. But they still alloted me the car. How can someone allot a unsafe car. Probably for their commercial gains they did not want to keep the car idle. Now when I land at pick up point, running late coz I expected airport pick up. I was shown the car. Initially was quite happy as the car seemed in good condition. But when we sat in the car, it did not have a rear view mirror. Immediately we told the staff there we need another car as I cannot drive a mirror less car on the highway in the night. They replied saying they don't have a mirror and no replacement car. I have a bloody important meeting 3 hours away. What do you expect us to do. We were forced to take this car. In the night we were about to meet with a life threatening accident. Just missed. Else all 4 o[censored]s would have lost our lives. We could not see the truck behind us as their was no mirror. Guys seriously should such unsafe cars be alloted to anyone.? Then next day while driving, again as I could not see behind car, I looked at the side and to save myself had to just speed up a little. I exceeded speed limit of 125 km per hr by 1 km and that too for hardly 5 seconds. Had the mirror been there I would not have to suddenly raise my speed. Anyway, they get a chance and deduct 2500 Rs from me stating they are very strict about their customer safety and can't reverse speeding charges. My question is if they are so concerned about us, why do they allow us unsafe cars, where we were about to meet with a life threatening accident. Hypocrisy on their part. They just have a tendency to find reasons to deduct deposits given to them. Also, while driving we noticed our part number plate came off. We were sure we never banged any other car so how could that happen. On checking we saw, the number plate stuck with a adhesive tape! Once we realised this Compnay is trying to cheat us, we bought a new adhesive tape from the market and stuck it back and gave the car back. Tit for tat. Worst Compnay ever. Pls don't take cars from them. Other customers of zoom car have had even more horrible experiences. Some customer like syed have been assaulted. Some customers refunds not given to them. A bunch of fraudsters. And worst call centre ever.. Robotic call centre. Keep giving the same non specific generic replies

Thank you for your mail, however where is the fair justice to the physical​ injury, the mental stress I have gone through and the loss of work that I have experience​d.

Because of your executive I had to undergo these which I am not supposed to. Additionally I incurred medical expenses and have went through series of stress.Zoom car is liable to pay me for these. Revert with a substantiate response.

It's a very worst experience and we recommend not to go for the zoom cars
We booked a car at 2am but by mistake we have captured drop timing as 7:30pm and as we asked immediatly for a remedy with customer care (Karthik) he said to start the trip then we can extend the trip... When we started the trip after that he says car is not available and still if we need to extend we have to pay 19000 rs extra on booking... As per their policy... We communicated with him almost 45min after that his team lead prashanth spoken to us and he also said same story
... After all we thought of cancellation of booking... Then also they said like they il deduct 1300rs... We asked for higher authority to get in connect to resolve the issue so that they can arrange atleast other vehicle for us... As we had a very important meeting that morning we lost around 9000rs due to negligence of the zoomcar
... Later on they says about the policies as they didn't have before...

If they are concerned about the customer
Kindly call back on [protected]
Or else am surely gonna lodge a complaint in consumer court with call record proof...

Kindly don't go for zoomcar friends... Its worse than i think...

Had a very bad experience with Zoom Car. Tire was old and was flat on my way back. But they charged me for new tyre. Not able to justify, Firstly, there is no assistance if anything go wrong with car. When the tyre was flat, I call customer care and inform them, but was told to manage that on my own. The tyre had bad nuts and was not able to remove with the tools provided. Have to travel 6 KM on hot sunny day to find for tyre person, The car was pretty dirty. Would take this on serious note and request not to go with Zoom cars anytime.

I have spend 800 Rs on fixing this and have no refunds, Also, still waiting on concrete justification on why charging 4000 when tyre were old and bad.

Arranged to hire a honda city in hyderabad, picked up car, filthy on the outside, wiped down with a cloth.
Took the car away and found that the ac was not working and the horn was intermittent, car returned asap within 90 minutes (Rush hour traffic) waiting for refund.
Have been chasing them yesterday and today, called 4 times only to be fobbed off, some one will call you back in 30 minutes... No call back no refund

Don't use them their service is pretty poor

My zoom car booking id is (JPS6TZPL7).
I didn't got my payment yet they are asking for verification code which they sended me on my mail id and I forgotten my mail id password. I reported my new mail id n screen shot of old mail id which is nt opening but there is no response at all
Now there is no option of call in app from this incident
So bad service do not use zoom car.

My self Jayadev and I booked Zoom car from 28th Apri'17 6:30 AM to 30th April'17 11:30 PM IST. That time I paid Rs. 11, 393.00/-. Attached the soft copy for the same.

Due to some other issues, I have delivered on 1st May'17 2:36 PM IST and it was delayed by 15 hours. However, I have paid Rs. 15090/- for the delay charges. Attached the soft copy of Bank statement.

My concern is, Rs. 15090/- was not reflected in payment history and I was asked to pay outstanding amount Rs. 11550/-.

Please consider my request and do the needful.

The tyre gets puntured and the condition of the tyre is horrendous. Steel wire mesh coming out. Who gives fitness certificates to zoomcar fleet??? The toolkit jack was unusable. Had to travel back 5 kms to get a mechanic with the jack. Customer care supervisor from bangalore ms. Pavithra called me and mentioned that i could buy a new car tire and retain the invoice. While handing over the car i have submitted the original invoice of 4400/- inr. Zoomcar had promised refund in 48 hrs. More than 75 hrs have passed, and no intimation of any refund. Customer care guys are worthless. I have asked for a call back from ms. Pavithra and was promised that she would call back in 1 hr. No one called back. Have logged again a ticket # 425117. This is absolutely pathetic and a clear case of harassment by zoomcar. Attached is the photo of the car invoice towards new tire replacement.

Hi,
I would like to edit my phone number (Since i'm not using current number which updated in zoom app) in zoom app. When i edit my contact number, it says that i'll receive six digits verification code, but i'm not receiving any verification code to update to confirm my new contact number.

Currently, i have refund amount in my zoom account and when i'm trying to transfer this amount to my bank account, its asking for otp which sent to my old contact which was already updated in zoom app.

I can only transfer this amount to my bank account when i can edit my old phone to new phone number so that i can get otp to transfer the amount.
