Zoomcar Complaints & Reviews

We write this to Zoomcar after repetitively being shunned by your customer care team when we contacted them to resolve an issue regarding a booking we had made that Zoomcar cancelled after the journey start time. There have been numerous errors in communication and coordination on Zoomcar's end that have caused us many inconveniences and financial losses. Your executives have constantly ignored us and we are furious about not being listened to.

The booking was done by my friend and his details are as follows:
saransh.[protected]@gmail.com
[protected] (Number used to book the vehicle)

I have been using Zoomcar's service for more than 4 years now, and I don't expect to be shut off and treated like this by your customer care.

We expect and request Zoomcar to compensate for the losses we have incurred by missing this trip, which is ₹18, 700 for the 7 o[censored]s.

We had to book two small cars locally at a high price (₹11, 000) in the afternoon when your customer care team didn't get back to us. We stayed at a hostel (₹7, 700) for an additional day to cover up for the activities missed in the morning on the 3rd. Zoomcar Credit is of no use to us as we all stay in different locations and would not be able to use the same.

We have waited long enough for your customer care team to help us and they have just ignored us repetitively.

Details of the event

We (7 people) were planning on going for a graduation trip to Chikmagalur from Manipal, and the first thing we did was book a Zoomcar 7 seater vehicle on 30.12.2021 and paid the required total amount. (Please refer to the screenshot attached to the mail for the details of the booking)

We then arranged for the hotels, activities and permits once the vehicle booking was confirmed and made the full payments for the same.

On 1st Jan at around 8 PM, to be sure, we contacted the local Zoomcar site to confirm the status of the car since the entire trip depended on it. The official there informed us that the vehicle is in Bangalore and the customer wanted to extend their booking and there could be a chance that we could not get the vehicle on the next day. To re-check the status, we contacted your customer care service and the executive assured us that we would "100%" get the car on time. Hence, we didn't look for alternatives.

On 2nd Jan at 4 AM, we received a mail from Zoomcar with the details of the vehicle, and at 7 AM we reached the location to pick our car with all our luggage. After searching for the vehicle for almost 45 mins we got to know that we won't be getting the vehicle.

We returned and called Zoomcar helpline to understand how this problem could be solved and why we were misinformed about the status of the vehicle even after re-confirming the night before and getting a mail just a couple of hours before the booking.

We were told that the car had been damaged at 3 AM and hence was being repaired. We requested to have a talk with the manager and were promised that we would get a call by 10 AM, which we didn't. After calling the helpline again, we were finally put through to the manager (Karthik), who listened to our situation and said he would call back in a couple of minutes, which he didn't. Zoomcar has not answered any of our calls from the registered number and has blatantly ignored us after that call.

We have received the refund for the vehicle booking, but we never accepted the ₹ 10, 000 credit offered by Zoomcar as compensation for this issue because as this issue prolongs, we are less and less likely to go back to Zoomcar for our trips.

Booked Honda Mobilio on 2nd Jan. The vehicle I received was dirty from inside as well from outside

Footmarks on dashboard
Footmarks on seats
Food remains on floor mats
Mats were full of dirt and food remains
Vehicle was not at all cleaned and sanitised as mentioned in web site / portal

How zoomcar can deliver vehicle in such condition?
It took an hour for us to clean and sanitise the vehicle from inside..

Zoomcar should pay penalty for such blunder

Hi,

I booked an Ertiga today from 3-9PM at Vizag which was for self pickup from inside MVV apartments as it showed in Zoomcar application. On reaching the location provided, I couldn't find the car in the parking place of the apartment.
Hence, I called the helpline after searching the entire parking at 3:52pm and they merged the call with the fleet owner who then spoke with the watchman of the apartment about the car's location. The watchman took me to the point which was mentioned by the fleet owner.
Still, the car was not present there. Then the owner said that he will have to check that why the car is not there.
Then, the zoom executive said that he will try to arrange a call which will provide a resolution either by giving an alternate car or cancelling the booking with complete refund.
A call was arranged at 4:04pm but I missed that call.
Furthermore, I called Zoom again and now they mentioned they will arrange another call. But I haven't received any callback after that 4:04pm call which I missed.
The last call from my end was at 4:53pm for requesting callback.
So, now I am writing this at 6:11 pm where neither a alternative car is provided nor the ride has been cancelled with complete refund which was promised to me at 3:52pm call.
Now my pre-planned trip of visiting Vizag got ruined today where I am a tourist and I am here for a limited time only. After 3hrs from the start of the booking I am standing at a position of losing the entire booking amount beside my planned trip. Still, no resolution has been provided yet.
This kind of customer service is going to make me refrain from Zooming again. I have a booking for tomorrow also and I am really worried about that trip too not getting fulfilled.
Please arrange for an immediate resolution by refunding the entire booking amount else Zoom might lose esteemed customers.

Hi,

This is to bring into your notice that my driving license is being used in other friend's Zoomcar account. I request you to kindly remove my (Swapnil Bhoye) driving license & other details from his account. I called on your customer service number several times but they haven't removed it neither have they transferred it to my number since it has my details. If something went wrong in the future I will not be responsible. Zoomcar will be responsible for any mishaps as I already have requested your customer representatives many times but they are not taking any action. This is causing me unnecessary stress. I want to register from my number and mail id but it is getting rejected since it is being used in the other account. I request you to look into this issue.

I am fed up of writing so many messages to Zoomcar on help section from the mobile and desktop app. I have made a booking on Zoom car on 15 Dec, 8.00 AM to 11.00PM with a booking ID: JPS695TD5.

My booked car has been changed along with the pickup location on the pickup day. I was promised extra 10 kms and some credits due to the change in pickup location which is very far for me. later, I was charged for the extra 1 km or so.

I couldn't unlock the car from mobile app, I had to wait in the hot sun until one of your executives had to unlock from their side. Same horrible experience when I dropped the car.

I have filled petrol two times as the car was blinking on no fuel indicator. I filled for Rs.800 the first time, but got a call from zoom in the middle saying car is running out of fuel, I filled Rs.900 again. I have also booked zoom car earlier, I uploaded bills and waiting for the refund, It's been more than 3 weeks there is no status on refund. It shows only 996 refund on the app, when I was entitled for 1700.

I tried calling and asking for help on the app so many times. To my utter disappointment, The ZoomCar customer care call doesn't connect without a live booking. There is no update on email what so ever. I am so disappointed and frustrated. Half baked services like these are frustrating and burden to users.

Looking forward to your help

I had not logout due to network issue in my device while dropping the vehicle I do accept that I have to pay only for 84 KLM driven extra I had took vehicle by 9th september 8:30 and dropped by 10th 10:47 morning if any doubt about my words can also clarify with camera footage of the Same date from rajajinagar hub near suguna hospital I have even informed to the hub executive to escalate this issue and with many of your customer service executive but very poor results from them Hope I will get proper solution from your end ASAP

I have booked Maruti Suzuki Swift Automatic for 21st December 2021. The brakes were faulty and we were only able to ride 100-200 meters from the pick-up location and stopped the vehicle as it was too risky to ride this faulty car. We have immediately reported this to customer care and asked them to send a replacement vehicle or engineer so it can be taken care of. After waiting from 10:00 am till 1:30 pm, no one has come to rescue/help us. We spoke to the customer care agent and as we were getting late, he asked us to park the car nearby and he will lock the car. He assured us that the refund will be credited to my account within 5 days. It's been 15 days approximately and I haven't got any refunds.

Moreover, we asked them to terminate the ride immediately from their side, as they haven't provided any support/engineer or mechanic who can assist us, but they ended the ride after 3-4 days. And put the status as Rs 0 refund. We have all the call recordings with us.
Please look into the issue at the earliest.
Below are the details used for booking from zoomcar.

I did a booking today on zoomcar and the amount for the booking has been debitedfrom my account but i didn't get any confirmation from zoom car, also my z points from zoomcar. Was redeemed.. No customer service response, got no help from the zoom car employees at the parking site... I'm attaching the screen shots below...

For a booking (details attached) I was incorrectly overcharged for fuel consumption. The entire trip i took was was a 50km in a pretty new Renault Duster and the charges I am asked to pay is 1.72k just for fuel. It is to note that the car was returned with the same fuel meter reading and I still was willing to pay a 300 for fuel charge despite the car being dropped back with the same fuel reading. But they have been making a number of fee reversals for several days after the booking was done and I had no idea these things were happening in the app. (No notifications from the app except their ads)

Tried reaching zoomcar support via call and and used the help option in the app SEVERAL times and seeing no action or even an acknowledgement. All details regarding booking and the fuel meter readings are attached.

My booking was cancelled by zoomcar on 27th Nov. I am still awaiting my refund. No one from zoomcar responfa to mail or phone call.

I have opted Zoomcar service I kept my car in zoom, Believe me the worst service support I got, car got damaged, head light got replaced, even after one perticur booking customer did not return my he used my car for more than 3 days and zoom people could not track my back, after I 100s of calls to CC I received my car with battery issue which I had to replace it, now when I have placed request for termination I'm waiting for 2 weeks to get update, my another car meet with accident in Andhra pradesh while in booking and after calling 100s of time to CC now they keep the car with then and they are saying it will take more than 2 months to repair, even they are using my insurance policy only for repair...

On 2nd Jan 2022 I had a booking (booking details attached) with Zoomcar (Kwid) for 60 kms after my ride I have used only 42 kms. For which I have proofs attached. But I am charged 990 rs for 42 km ride which is totally unfair.

On reaching the customer care they just explain that this charge was calculated based on the petrol availability in fuel tank. I am not sure of 2 things here why should I go with your fuel tank level, should I have a scale to measure the full tank level before and after every trip or even if we go with the gauge reading in speedometer who can assure me that the fuel was on the maximum level of the 3rd point or min level of the 3rd point before ride, Then why should I pay for the whole point in fuel gauge after riding only 42 kms. Even in that case if we consider the gauge is true then does it mean that the vehicle gives only 4 kms as mileage (only then for 42kms 990 rs can be charged). In that case I prefer luxury cars has better mileage.

Also while reaching to the trichy branch regarding this issue they didn't pick the call after 4 times. Even in those 4 times they just told they will look into the issue. No other response.

Not more that 300rs can be charged for 42kms of fuel. Kindly review the refueling charges with right amount. So that I can pay this. Please acknowledge if you receive this mail.

I have booked this car on 02 Jan, 2022. They have given me an 10 year old car which was having so many issues that noone can drive it. It has no working headlamps, mirrors and horn. It’s break pads was having rust, the tires were so old and having cracks. I got it repaired and spent 5000 INR .

Atlast i gave back car at 90% fuel level as i didnot even go much farther as this all has spoiled my mood.

Zoomcar hasnot refunded me the refuel amount of almost 6000 INR neither they have refunded me for repairs.

This is intolerable experience as a regular zoomcar user.

Even they didn’t pay me back refund of previous booking and made me pay outstanding amount to start the new trip.

Complete Scam and Fraud by Zoomcar!!!

I made a booking with ZOOM Car for a VERNA MT DIESEL car. I completed the full payment (Rs 5157) on 25th December-2021 for the booking period of 1-January-2022 to 2-January-2022. Zoom car accepted the booking and did not inform me about anything that they might not be able to deliver the car.

I have booked Scorpio 7 Seater car from zoomcars, but later executive called and provided alternatives, which I accepted and the same thing happened 4 more times from my booking date which is 4th jan, today they called before one day of delivery they called and said the car which was alloted to you is unavailable.

am really fedup with the services offered from zoom car and poor customer service assistance, they dont have enough cars and they keep rolling different cars to customers, this must be my last trip from zoomcar

Dear Sir/Madam,

Currently, you should have 2 cases opened: First for a refund of 443 Rs. towards my latest booking which couldn't be completed due to the rejection of my profile and second for 999 Rs. towards Supermiler Elite membership since there is no use of membership if you can't approve my Driving License. I have already raised this concern so many times with your customer care team but it looks like it's not working out. When I talked to them last time 3 days ago (on 31st December), they confirmed both the refunds have been initiated and you should get them soon but till now I didn't receive any mail/message/notification from Zoomcar side.

Could you please take this on priority and let me know what's happening. When will I receive my refund? Your early resolution is highly appreciated.

Thanks & Regards,

Hi,

I would like to request for a help in my last booking done from Zoomcar Mysore for Baleno Car(KA03AF6207) for booking of 4 days.
The car gave me serious troubles during the trip:
1) It did not have center mirror and there was severe damage is bonut of co passenger side and whole car was dirty
2)It stopped in the middle of mountains and was not starting for an hour which I suspected a battery issue but turned out to be loose power cable of the fuel pump below rear seat.
3) While coming back from mountains journey a severe disaster happened when Car BREAK FAILED and car became uncontrollable putting life at risk of two families sitting inside . Somehow I managed to stop it with handbrakes by the time it hit two cars parked in the left while saving it from a speeding bus in the right.
The locals took 4000 rs as compensation after huge discussions.
4)I got some mechanic somehow who checked and complete break pads are gone and then he replaced them. He also checked Car thoroughly and explained there is loose fuel power plug, even oil is leaking in front and car condition is severly bad
5) Somehow I brought down the car from OOTY to Mysore and reached Zoomcar site in early morning. No one at the site listened to my issues and said only one line talk to customer care we can't do anything. I had been trying to reach customer care in whole trip but they either not picked the call for hours or said someone will get back and talk to you in 15-30 mins which took hours for call to come back.
6) I asked customer care I need replacement Car for my remaining 2 days of trip so I can go to my next destination but no one helped me and said they can't give any car.
My whole trip got destroyed by Zoomcar and now next level of harrasment is even though I took insurance and paid 649 Rs. Charges with booking, the Zoomcar guy who falsely added other damages in my booking and now Zoomcar is charging me 1500 Rs. For damages instead of giving me compensation for:
1) Break fail, putting lives at risk
2)Trip left in half way because of no resolution or no car replacement.
3) Severly bad attitude of ZoomCar site office guys and no help from customer care throughout.

Please help me, this is not at all expected from one of the major country car rental company.

My booking ID is JPS695AVY. I picked up the car at 23, 770 km and dropped it off at 24, 102km which is well within the 425km limit that I had taken. But i have been charged Rs. 7, 772 for excess KM fee which is completely ridiculous. Moreover, I returned the car with 70% fuel whereas I received it at 50%. I haven't received my fuel refund too. I had sent several emails through Zoom app but haven't received any response.

Zoomcar could not provide me with my booked vehicle on 25 Dec at Kolkata (Booking id JPS69YGK6).
I was informed only after my scheduled pick up time, after reaching Kolkata Airport. I was asked to contact customer service, but they did not even give a promised call back despite me calling them four times during the same day.
It caused me huge inconvenience and inhuman harassment with my family including an old parent.
25th Dec evening while cancelling the booking, over the call, their executive promised me Rs. 10, 000 Driving credit as compensation for the harassment caused to me.
Though he promised to credit the DC within 24 hours, it has still not reached me after 10 days.
