ZoomCar Pune Airport Pickup Guide

Planning for PNQ's location in Pune

Pune International Airport at Lohegaon is approximately 10km from Koregaon Park, 12km from Camp (Cantonment), and 15km from Hinjewadi IT corridor. This is one of India's closer city-airport distances — a ZoomCar pickup at PNQ drops you into Pune's traffic without a long airport approach drive. Factor 20–35 minutes from the airport to Koregaon Park or Camp depending on traffic, and 30–45 minutes to Hinjewadi during peak IT corridor hours.

Step-by-step pickup procedure at PNQ

1. Find the hub zone: open the ZoomCar app and navigate to your active booking. The hub zone location and parking bay details at PNQ are shown on the booking screen.
2. Walk to the pickup zone: follow the airport signage for the designated parking zone. PNQ's compact layout makes the hub zone accessible from both the arrivals and departures areas without a long walk.
3. Check car registration plate matches your booking before unlocking.
4. Complete the pre-trip inspection in app: photograph all four sides, the dashboard odometer, and the fuel gauge. Timestamps are stored automatically.
5. Note fuel level and odometer reading: screenshot both from the app at trip start.
6. Start trip: tap "Start Trip" in the app to unlock the car and begin your booking timer.

What to do if the car is not at the PNQ pickup zone

1. Do not leave the zone. Document your presence at the correct zone before doing anything else.
2. Use in-app SOS immediately after waiting 10–15 minutes. Open ZoomCar app → active booking → SOS. State your booking ID and that the car is not present.
3. Document with a timestamped photo of the empty parking bay — location metadata on the photo supports your claim.
4. Request refund or replacement: car non-availability at pickup entitles you to a full refund if unresolved within 1 hour. State this clearly in the SOS chat.

Return procedure at Pune airport

1. Return the car to the same hub zone at PNQ (or an alternate zone confirmed in the app for one-way bookings).
2. Complete the post-trip inspection in the ZoomCar app — photograph all sides and the fuel gauge to document return condition.
3. Lock the car via the app and tap "End Trip." Wait for the in-app confirmation before leaving.
4. Screenshot the final odometer and fuel reading for your records.
