So here's my honest take on Bolt: Request a Ride. I've tested a bunch of ride-hailing apps and this one's pretty good overall. The interface is clean and easy to use, and I like the variety of ride options. And the real-time tracking and upfront pricing are super convenient too. But it's not without its issues - the prices can spike during busy hours, and I've had a few drivers who didn't seem to know the area quite well. Still, for a quick, affordable ride, Bolt is a solid choice in my experience.

Description

Been using Bolt: Request a Ride for a couple months now. It’s basically a ride-sharing app where you can call for a car, scooter, or other transport to get you where you need to go. Pretty solid app if you’re into getting rides around town.

Here’s what you do: you just open the app, put in your destination, and choose the ride type you want – there’s stuff like Comfort, Premium, and Electric. And you can track your driver in real-time and pay securely through the app. It’s got some nice safety features too, which is always good.

Look, if you need a reliable way to get around the city, you’ll probably like Bolt. It’s not perfect – the prices can be a bit high at peak times – but overall it does the job. Worth checking out if you’re tired of dealing with the hassle of public transport or don’t want to drive yourself.

Complete SCAM!!!! The rate shown doesn't guarantee the exact amount you will pay at the end of the trip. there will be time charges, passenger fee, etc. Drivers trick you...

terrible experience. The driver changed in the last minute as I was approaching the car and then I was redirected to another car which was a 5 minute walk away....

I’m rating the app 1 star due to issues with drivers rejecting short rides (10-15 minutes). It seems drivers accept longer, higher-fare trips (80-100€) more readily, while shorter rides are...
