Bolt

Bolt is an Estonian mobility company whose app offers ride-hailing in many cities across Europe, Africa and other regions. For travellers, its core use is getting to and from airports and around cities with standard, comfort, larger and premium car options where available. In some cities the same app also offers e-scooters, e-bikes and Bolt Drive car sharing, which lets users rent a car by the minute, hour or day, and separate food and grocery delivery services run under the Bolt name. Upfront pricing, in-app driver tracking and cashless payment are standard. Product availability and pricing vary widely by city, and dynamic pricing applies at busy times. Travellers should check that Bolt operates at their destination, confirm airport pick-up rules and compare fares with local taxis and transfers.
