[Resolved]  Zoom Car — refund rates for a first time use

Dear all, we have multiple apps in the market to purchase or to place any booking. So a first-time user who doesn't know anything about the refund rates is approaching the zoom car and he made a booking. Next day morning he wanted to cancel the same because of certain issues and that time he is getting a shock that the refund amount is 50% only and the cancellation charges are 50% if we do the cancellation within 24 hours. This is agreeable but i have not notified about the charges at any point while i make a booking. The app should show what is the refund amounts at various stages while placing the booking which didn't happen. 20% cancellation charges are agreeable but 50% is really pathetic for their service. We need to pick up and drop the car putting out efforts after all these they charge 50% cancellation fees?

My point is clear the poor app doesn't notify about the cancellation charges while i made the booking. If i would have notified i would not have made the booking. If it's in person the agent will say about all the things since its online app should show the details to the customer before they make a booking.

The worst part when we raised this genuinely all the customer care agents says that we need to read the agreement and policies available on the website before we place the booking. What world they are in? Even when placing a booking they won't read such things on the websites so come on to the real world people.

I got only 50% amount and need 30% more of the amount which is rs 260. Kindly made this to me.

Hello Pradep,

Greetings!

We understand your concern here. Please note the cancellation charge is levied as per the policy, we do have mentioned in the app about the cancellation, here's the link for your reference https://www.zoomcar.com/policy#feePolicy. The charge is valid, we regret we will not be able to do much in this case. Hoping for your understanding in this regard.

Regards,

Hi,
I tried to book online but after the bank charges were deducted I got a message that the booking is failed. Tried to call the customer care numbers several times but could not contact any representative. Poor service and pathetic experience. Let me know the steps I should take now to get my money back.

Hello,

I'm Vikas Bhat from Udupi. On 26/01/2024 at 1 pm, we reserved a rental Ertiga from Zoomcar app for a 3-day period until 28/01/2024 at 6 pm.

Upon reaching Margao Railway Station in Goa at 1 pm, we found that the car sent wasn't as expected. Instead of a black and yellow nameplate, we were provided with a white board (private blue-colored Ertiga) with a different nameplate. Additionally, the driver arrived late at 2:44 pm. The car shown in the app differed from the one provided.

Despite discussing the issue with the driver, we opted not to proceed with the rental. The driver suggested canceling the ride and assured us of a full refund.

Attempts to contact the host and customer care were unsuccessful, with no response or assistance provided.

We urge Zoomcar helpline to review our predicament and issue a complete refund promptly.

Thank you,
Vikas
