Delhi to Chandigarh highway is a foodie’s paradise. There are so many dhabas to try and road tripping from Delhi to Chandigarh just makes sense. But here’s the problem – none of the people in the group could arrange a car. That’s when we decided to get a Zoomcar and hence, this Zoomcar review is happening.
What is Zoomcar?
It’s pretty much everything a travel freak would long for. Road trips are fun but convincing your parents to give you the car for a random trip is tough. So, you can simply get the money and get a rental car for as many days as you want.
Zoomcar is one of the original and best concepts that have come up. It lets you rent a car of your choice, and you can drive to all the places you want. Most of the cars have an all-India permit, but you have to pay the toll taxes yourself. Better check beforehand about the permit; for the one I rented had one.
These self-driven cars are now the easiest way to travel and one only as to pay a minimum amount for the car. Their services are available in Bangalore, Delhi, Gurgaon, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Chennai, Pune, and Chandigarh. Bookings can be easily made online at Zoomcar.com or via the mobile app for Android and iOS devices, and you can simply pick up the car from the designated location.

My Experience with Zoomcar or The Zoomcar Review
A wide variety of cars are available on their website; these include Scorpio, Amaze, Swift, Figo, A class, 3 series, everything you can think of. All you need to do is log onto Zoomcar via browser or the app and choose a pick up or a doorstep option.
For pick up you need to pick the car up from the desired place, and in doorstep, the Zoomcar authorities drop off the car at your desired location charging you extra Rs. 300/- for it. After the picking of the car up you need to provide with the dates of the journey and in the end all you need to do is give a preference of your desired car.
As people rent cars for different types of journeys, it is not always fair to charge the same rate. So to make life easy Zoomcar offers you Flexi Pricing along with their own traditional rates so that it is value for money! The three packages include Zoom Lite (120 KMS/DAY at five km/hour), Zoom Classic (240 KMS/DAY at 10 km/hour), and Zoom XL (360 KMS/DAY at 15 km/hour). How far you will be driving and in what time, will determine the best Flexi Plan for you.
In my case, I ordered for the car and opted for delivery at my home. You must note that when you opt for delivery, the car options may decrease a bit. But if you pickup, you can get more car options. Anyhow, I gave the time when I wanted the car in front of my home, and they turned up on time.
I hired the car for two days. The drop was done at 9 P.M., and then the car was with me for three nights. It was picked up early morning on the third day. The package that I chose gave me 400 km free. Now, the point behind is that if I had got more petrol refilled in this 400 km, I would have got my money refunded. There are extra charges if you go beyond that limit.
Anyhow, I got a very clean Honda Amaze which was a well-maintained car. The total cost was around Rs. 8000. I hired the car about 6-7 months back so expect a slight change in price due to my fading memory.
I would totally recommend you to try Zoomcar if you want a self-driven car for your next roadtrip.
