[Resolved]  Zoom Car — false charges and harassment by email

Address:Flat No.409,C-Wing,Block 1,Shilpitha Royal Apartment, Kodigehalli Main Road,Sadaramangala Hoodi, K R Puram, Bangalore, Karnataka, 560036

This is regarding my booking id with Zoom car - JPS6BOUF9
CASE:1244808

I've taken Mahindra XUV 100 on May 1st 2019. The vehicle pick up address in my app shown as Keys hotel, Plot No-6 1st Phase Industrial Area ITPL Road, Opp Graphite India, 560068 Bangalore, India

See the booking photo and to my surprise it was not there and the person over there just gave a weird smile to refresh and check app again, the new address now is Brookefield mall (Kundanahalli gate), in traffic it took almost 1 hr to reach car and the overall journey wasted by 2 hrs.

Now the interesting point and the harrasment I am facing from Zoom car, I have been given the CAR with fuel @ 33% - 11.33 ltrs.
Attached is the snapshot of sms I got, also the overall trip I have driven almost 590 Kms with fuel filled for around Rs.1970 and Rs.500 and returned the vehicle back with some 40% fuel which is more than what I took it.

Attached the bill copy of Rs.1970, other Rs.500 diesel in remote location in Tumkur, so in this case I should get a refund but the Zoom car guys are irritating me to pay an amount of 3488 as outstanding.

I want to go to police to sue this guys but before want to post here to get an answer please

Couple of minutes before (i.e today 17Jun2019) In Zoom car (Facebook chat) your customer care agreed that that next person who picked the car after me has starting % as 20%.

Which means I am liable to 13% fuel charges.

Two things
1) Prove that 20% with the SMS details send to the next booking guy who took car on 6/5/2019 (morning early hours 6:00 A.M)
2) Calculate the actual amount I need to pay which shall be 33% - 20% (in case proved) = 13%

So roughly if 33% is 11.55 litres then 13% shall be 4.5 litres, so calculation shall be 432 (if per litre 12 km driven and /km charge is 8 rs).

Hence my outstanding should be Rs.432 (some where close to it, only when you prove 20% as mentioned by Zoom car customer care in Facebook chat,
OK TO PAY THIS ON PROVING 20%

Can explain better in call so better call me and discuss.

Hello Suneel,

Greetings!

We see that you have exceeded the free kilometers, hence, you had been charged for the same. Also, the booking was made under the no fuel package. We regret we will not be able to process the refund of the amount spent on fuel.

Hi Ramya,

Well in that case remove that outstanding amount of Rs.3488 which is currently showing in my app, this is so irritating to see the bill when I am not liable to it by any means.

And also answer my question, when the car pick up point is somewhere else why does the app and your auto emails direct to a different place, is that a business tactic to misguide the customer and kill his time so that his plan shall go for a toss ?

You are really answerable to this too

Regards,
Suneel

Hi Ramya,

I have already shared the snapshot of what it shows in my app, and the address says Keys hotel, but the car was picked up from AECS layout.
Anyways coming to the other point I am still getting some email from your customer care regarding the outstanding amount, this is the last time I want to tell you hence forth any emails I see which I am not liable for, I would really take this issue serious and would like to face you people in court.

The evidences of FB support with Zoom car and the bills I have I would feel are sufficient to sue you guys.
Don't take to that level.

Hello Suneel,

We understand your disappointment here, however, we did check the above issue and see that the booking is confirmed based on the inputs selected from your end. We see that an option was shown while making the booking that the exact pickup location would be within the radius of 6-9 kilometer from the pickup hub and the details regarding the exact location will be shared 2-4 hours prior to your booking start time. As the booking has been confirmed Keys Hotel - whitefield - Bangalore ( Pickup hub), the details regarding the exact location have been sent on 02/05/2019 04:40 PM through an SMS. Hence, you had to pick the vehicle from the shared location. Also, we see that the distance between the exact location and the pickup hub is between 2-3 kilometers.

Regards,
Appachu
