Another shared, “I planned for the same, but here in Kolkata, there have been numerous cases where a few scammers rent these vehicles and sell them in the 2nd hand market. They have some jugaad for fake number plates as well.” The OP said, “Happens in every state. They will rent a car from Goa, change the number plates and take it outside Goa. ZoomCar has an option to add a tracker from their company. I have a GPS location tracker added to my car. It auto shuts off the engine when the border is crossed.”
A third commented, “Look at everyone being so negative and basically calling for ill will on your car! Good on you for earning this income while capturing the market for tourists. Wish you well.” A fourth wrote, “Wow, this is so cool! Can you share tips?”
