This is the email i received from zoom car

Hi,

Please explain how "the car has been used in excess of the paid rental amount".

Despite repeated denial of any damage been done to the car during the time it was under my usage, i was harassed for pre-existing issues with the car.

Also, i clearly remember mentioning all the scratch marks and dents (Including the one held against me that night) to the staff on duty before taking the car from the pick up point. There were so many of these damages on the car that there was no point taking so many pictures (To be used as proof against false charges).

Hence, i request you to provide me any proof against the fact that i was not responsible for whatever usage is being referred to in excess of the already paid rental amount.
As per my knowledge, there was no damage done to the car.

Regards,
Chirayu

Zoomcar Customer Care's response
Hello Chirayu,

Greetings!

Thank you for reaching out to us. However, it is disappointing for us to know about the trouble that was incurred during your reservation.
Please accept our sincere apologies for the inconvenience caused during your reservation. Based on the escalation raised we did study the issue.

We did have a check on the escalation raised by you regarding the vehicle damage charges. We see that the charges levied are appropriate as the there are scratches on the Left side rear door and quarter penal damage.

As per your request, we have shared the damaged image at your registered mail ID. Unfortunately, we are unable to do much in this case.

Hoping for your kind understanding.

Regards,
Kiran.S

Hi,

As I mentioned during my call yesterday, I wasn't made aware of these damages after my booking ended, and as I mentioned earlier there were already scratches on the car. You guys are levying such charges without even telling the customer, and then you serve them with legal notices. The person who handed me over the car filled the checklist himself and didnt even tell me that charges will be levied for a damage which I didnt even cause.

I want a detailed investigation report on this matter.

Thanks,
Chirayu
