On 31/1/2017, I booked a car using JPS6VNBW0 through company’s mobile application and made initial payment of Rs. 2565/- as initial rental charges and 1500/- as security deposit for the booked car with registration number MH14FC251. I was handed over the car at Kothrud (near Karveputala) on 1/2/2017 at 5:22AM. According to my booking history I had booked the car for one entire day (1.2.2017- 2.2.2017). After having traveled for approximately 5-6 km, the car broke down in middle of the road near CCD next German Bakery of SB road. After coordinating with Zoomcar executives, the car was handed over back to the company at 8:30 on 1/2/2017. In accordance to agreement duly verified and acknowledged by me I was liable to be provided a new fit for road car for my further journey, which I did not receive, instead after period of 45 days, I have received a mail from the company stating that the car was used in excess of the paid rental but the mail also says that the car was returned on the same of the pick.
I was entitled to get car fit for the road, which the car was not. The incident of car breaking down in middle of the main road was a huge safetythreat. We could have meet with a major accident and my life was put at risk. Effectively I lost lot of time cause of the breakdown of the car and couldn’t reach my destination in designated time period all because I was not given a replacement for the broken car. If the mail I received is stating that I exceeded the usage and the same time states that I returned the car on same day (1/2/2107), how am I liable for the payment? The car was not thoroughly checked by the company person, all he checked was accelerator paddle, blinker system and the horn system, the engine and other parts were not supervised. Instead of giving me compensation for my inconvenience, the company has audacity of accusing me of fraud for not paying outstating amount. Also there is no correspondence between the mail I received and the history on my account on zoomcar website, the account states I damaged the vehicle (which I am not responsible for) whereas mail says I over used the vehicle. If we go through the account details, I would like to ask company why they have contacted me so late about the damage. Also would like to ask the company to show me details for the same vehicle whether it was handed over to any other customer post my returning. Hypothetically, if we assume I made the damage why wasn’t I informed the same day, why the company person did not check the vehicle when I handed back the vehicle? It is also possible that the person whom I returned the vehicle is responsible for the damage but since he is worker of the company, the company is covering up for him by putting false allegations on me. I would also like to ask company whether the person who supervised our vehicle is eligible mechanic or just a random pick and drop guy. It is also possible that the damage was done by the previous customer and was not noticed until we returned the vehicle.
I would like to bring the attention of the executives to the agreement which states only if the car is over used im liable to make extra payment but in this case no such thing happened. Now, that im accused of fraud, I would like to report zoomcar to consumer court for not not giving a safe vehicle and putting my life in jeopardy. I hereby give zomcar executives two days to pay me compensation of the inconvenience caused and for accusing me of fraud, if failed to do so I’ll be filling complaint in consumer court with all the documents and the copy of mail sent to me and copy of my zoomcar account along copy of my call details made to executives after the break down of the car.
