Tread depth looked ok, but I must say I did not check in detail. I even missed noticing that front tyres were of different makes. CEAT on one side and Apollo on other, which I see now on the photos I had clicked. |

Few members on this forum have also reported getting into accidents due to weak tyre grip on Zoomcar's cars. I usually self inspect it as part of my checklist while taking the car. Most of the time though, the treads are found to be shallow or nearly bald. So, I'm not completely surprised to hear that they have different tyres on their cars. This could also be a reason behind you experiencing slippage. | |

Distinguished - BHPian ![]() ![]() | ![]() Has Zoom discontinued all 'luxury' vehicles from their Bangalore line-up? Cannot see the GLAs or 320D any more. Maxes out at Fortuner from what I can see. |

| ![]() I am planning to rent zoom car from Siliguri for a week long trip to Sikkim. Based on information I came across, I came to know that for attractions in North and East Sikkim (e.g. Lachen, Gurudongmar, Lachung, Gnathang Valley etc.) where we need permits, it is issued only to those commercial vehicles which are registered in Sikkim. Can anyone please confirm that this is indeed correct? In that case, we will need to give up with self-drive option. Our draft route is : Bagdogra - Kaluk - Borong - Lachen - Lachung - Bagdogra. Thanks. |

Frankly, I hate it. I don't like the idea of someone snooping on my conversations. Could have used a multi channel unit with a camera mounted on the rear windshield, rather than in the cabin. Zoomcar says interior facing camera is disabled, but I'm not sure how to verify the claim. Also, if you see the pic, it's too big. The way it's mounted, it blocks a good portion of your visibility. I'm in favour of the tech if it helps safety. But I'm doubtful as to how a camera facing the cabin helps in this. | |

![]() Another point to note is that this is a ZAP car. Wonder what the people who drive it regularly think about it. | |

Nope. The 80kmph limit is mandated by the government for yellow board vehicles. Zoomcar policy still stands at 125kmph, after which they have a fine of 2500 and a max limit of two instances of overspeeding after which they will blacklist the member. Due to the presence of the government rule on these cars, the Zoomcar speed limit does not come into picture here. Since they had not charged any security deposit from me, there was no refund and neither did I have to pay any outstanding dues. |

| ![]() Completed my 7th Zoomcar booking. Mahindra E2O plus this time again. I happened to scratch corner of the bumper as i failed to notice low level railings near parking spot. Zoomcar didn't charge me anything but guilt is still there in my heart. |

| ![]() Any feedback on the cars and about the service of Zoom at Bagdogra / Siliguri ? I have never used Zoom before ( was always Myles thus far). I plan to rent a car for the drives to Darjeeling / Sikkim. Thanks. |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() I had completed a booking at Calicut two weeks ago. The car that I booked was Ford Freestyle, but later it was changed by Zoomcar to Elite i20 since the booked car met with an accident. The pickup took a little time to check with all the required fields in the app, as it was my first pickup through app. Driven around 250km, and the performance was really good, except for the moments at which the speed limiter kicked in. That jerking above 80 kmph was ![]() The drop-off was easy and the refund of the deposit took around 3 days to credit. Overall happy with the service provided by Zoomcar Calicut. |
