Plan Ahead: With high demand during the festive season, plan your trips in advance to avoid delays. Planning ensures you reach your destination on time, enhancing the overall travel experience.
Be Ready: When requesting a ride, ensure you are prepared. Waiting safely at the designated pickup location minimizes waiting time for both you and the driver, leading to a smoother and more efficient ride.
Verify Your Driver: Prioritize safety by verifying that the driver and vehicle details match the app’s information before getting into the vehicle. Check the driver’s name, photo, and license plate number to ensure a secure journey.
Communicate Clearly: Effective communication is crucial. Provide clear instructions to your driver regarding your pickup location, route preferences, or additional stops. Clear communication contributes to a smooth and efficient journey.
Respect is Mutual: The Bolt platform upholds a code of conduct promoting respect and discouraging discrimination. Be polite and respectful to foster a comfortable environment for both riders and drivers.
Rate and Provide Feedback: After your ride, take a moment to rate your driver and provide feedback through the Bolt app. Your feedback is valuable, recognizing excellent service and maintaining a high level of overall service quality.
Avoid Offline Trips: While offline trips may seem cost-effective, they pose hidden dangers. Incidents offline are challenging to track and aren’t covered by Bolt’s Safety team or ride insurance.
Know the Safety Features: Familiarize yourself with Bolt’s safety features available in the app, addressing various safety concerns. These features include an SOS button, in-trip audio recording, share my trip, 24/7 support, and trip protection.
