ZoomCar KM Limit and Extra Charges
Updated June 2026 · Daily KM allowance, extra-km rates, and Subscription unlimited option
What is ZoomCar's daily KM limit?
Standard ZoomCar daily bookings include a kilometre allowance that varies by city and car class — typically 100–150 km per day. If you exceed the allowance, ZoomCar charges an extra-km fee on the overage. The Subscription plan (minimum 7 days) offers unlimited kilometres and is designed for longer trips and outstation travel where daily caps would otherwise result in high excess charges.
Standard vs Subscription — comparison
| Plan | KM allowance | Extra-km charge | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard (daily / hourly) | 100–150 km/day (varies by city and car) | ₹8–₹15/km depending on car class | City trips, short day drives under the cap |
| Subscription (7+ days) | Unlimited | No extra-km charge | Outstation, multi-day drives, 400+ km trips |
How to calculate which plan is better for your trip
Estimate your total kilometres for the trip. Subtract the included allowance from your expected total. Multiply the excess by the per-km charge for your car class. If that excess charge is more than the premium the Subscription plan costs over a standard booking for the same duration, the Subscription saves you money. For trips over 400–500 km total, the Subscription typically works out cheaper — especially for hatchbacks and compact SUVs where the standard daily cap is lower.
Example: a 3-day trip expected to cover 600 km with a 120 km/day standard cap leaves 240 km excess. At ₹10/km that is ₹2,400 in excess charges. If the Subscription premium is less than ₹2,400 for 3 days, Subscription is the cheaper option.
