Racing and trials of speed. 8. Taking vehicle without authority. Hope it was not any of the offences mentioned at point no. 1, 4, 5 or 8 as they also entail an imprisonment of 3 months. IMO you should not have let the Zoom guys go scot-free as it was due to their negligence that you had to face inconvenience and pay the penalty for no offence of yours. Maybe your taking them to task would have saved some future customer from facing such nuisance. Quote:

BHPian ![]() | ![]() Wow waiting for this to happen ![]() I am planning a ladakh trip in June/July 2015. My better half can't get too many leaves (works for a bank) to drive all the way from Bangalore. Now zoom car seems to be the right option. I guess there wouldn't be any problems in taking self drive car to Ladakh? Earlier i have rented a safari from Zoom@Pune and quite happy with them ![]() |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() Just looked up the Section 181, 3 and 75 (2) of Motor Vehicles Act and I'm not sure if Zoom is really compliant with all the rules. If not, RTO is within their jurisdiction to fine U/S 181. Quote:
If Zoom has not obtained necessary licenses/paid fees to operate rental car business in respective states to which you travel, they can very well be fined accordingly. Even if they did possess the license, if the driver is unable to produce that license, the RTO can fine the driver / owner(Zoom). Here is a link to the rent a cab notification, which also mentions that the operator should have a minimum fleet of 50 cabs: http://transport.bih.nic.in/Guidelin...A-Cab-1989.pdf Last edited by zenren : 29th November 2014 at 14:30. | |

Not been on this route, but considering this is the border, the RTO checkpost is usually further away. In the Iritty route, it is 2-3kms inside the Kerala border. I would suggest to pay up if you cross the RTO checkpost, and the tax is just ₹150 for a week. |

![]() Call me lazy for not pushing Zoom to reimburse me the whole amount. I agreed to them when they said they reimburse only taxes and not fines. But, I've given them a feedback, and asked them to be clear on their website about AP tax fine print. Quote:

| ![]() I have booked the A-Class for tonight (10:30PM to 03:30AM) from UB City. I will be going there in my car. Just wanted to know if I can park my car in the UB City parking lot for the period I have rented the A-Class? Anywhere else where I can park my car in the vicinity in case I'm not allowed to park in UB City? |

The car was the diesel one with 4316 kms on the ODO. It was an absolute pleasure to drive the car. Rented it for 5 hours and was allotted 50kms. Did an extra 75 kms on top of the allotted 50 kms. ![]() Check-in and check out was a breeze and took hardly 5-10 mins. The fleet executive was very friendly. Thumbs up to Zoom! ![]() | |

| ![]() This is my first post on teambhp Big fan of zoomcar and the selfdrive car rent option. I had booked A class today for half a day (930pm -330pm) for our anniversary. No specific plan expect to drive around a little bit in and around bangalore. Got a call from zoomcar that pickup is from Chancery Pavilion instead of UB City. Reached there by 945 and got a pleasant surprise that I had been upgraded to Mercedes GLA SUV which are not even yet listed on their site. The one I got had been driven only 74 km so probably we were the first to rent it ![]() Drove upto Ramanagar and of course the drive was awesome. I liked both the Eco mode and the Sports mode. You can feel the super soft suspensions while on Eco and it becomes noticeable peppy on sports mode. Also had fun using the paddle shifts on Manual mode. Overall a great memorable day as it was a first time driving a Merc for me ![]() |

Distinguished - BHPian ![]() ![]() | ![]() Just read in the paper this morning that Karnataka Govt. has banned four web based taxi operators including Zoom car following the Uber controversy. |
