HERE’S WHY BOLT SHOULD BE YOUR GO-TO RIDE THIS CHRISTMAS
Schedule your ride, skip the wait
Let’s face it, waiting in the cold isn’t anyone’s idea of festive fun. With Bolt’s “Scheduled Ride” feature, you can book your ride in advance, ensuring it arrives exactly when you need it. Whether it’s a trip to the airport or just a ride home from a late-night outing in town, this feature makes Christmas travel stress-free.
Vehicle options for every occasion
Need something a bit fancy for the office party? Choose Bolt Executive. Heading to a family gathering with extra luggage or friends? Opt for Bolt XL. And if you’ve got furry friends joining the festivities, select the pet-friendly option. Bolt offers a variety of car categories, from standard to comfort and XL to executive and pet-friendly – to suit every festive scenario.
Share your journey with relatives
Worried about loved ones waiting for you? Use Bolt’s Share My Trip feature to let them track your journey in real-time. They’ll see your live location and estimated arrival time, giving everyone peace of mind.
Make multiple stops
Planning to pick up a friend on your way to the party? Or need to pick up that last-minute gift on route or need to pop to the shops before heading home? With Bolt, you can add up to three stops to your journey, making your ride flexible so you can focus on your festive fun.
Save your favourite locations
Simplify your travel and save some time by saving your go-to destinations like “Home” or “Work.” Next time you’re heading there, booking is just one tap away.
Safety first
Bolt takes safety seriously, especially during the busy festive season. The in-app Emergency Assist feature lets you alert their emergency response team with a single tap, ensuring help is always nearby.
