Bolt: Request a Ride

Bolt: Request a Ride is an Android app for arranging local transportation through the navigation category. It is intended for people who need a ride across town, an airport transfer, or a scooter for shorter trips. The app also supports planning trips in advance and arranging parcel delivery through its Send ride type.

Users can enter a destination and select from ride types such as Comfort, Premium, Electric, and XL. The app shows the fare before the trip, supports credit or debit cards, Google Pay, and cash, and provides real-time driver tracking. After arriving, users can rate their experience.

Safety-related tools include an emergency assist button, audio trip recording, and private phone details when contacting a driver. Some safety features require Bolt to run in the background. Trips can be scheduled from 30 minutes to 90 days before the expected pickup time.

Bolt also provides access to scooters and e-bikes, while Bolt Drive offers car sharing with electric and hybrid cars. The service is available in 50 countries and more than 600 cities, according to the supplied product information. Bolt: Request a Ride is distributed through MirrorNest by a direct link to the official release rather than a mirrored download, and its license is unknown.

Free to use — a paid version with additional features is also available.
