Bolt: Request a Ride Positive Reviews

UPDATE: [Not]Terrible customer support!After my frustration on yesterday, customer support finally get back to me and rather than a partial refund, they applied a full refund to me. I was only expecting partial refund not a full refund. That’s why I kind of take it back what I told to them. Thanks for the help! ———————————————————— I was charged £51 for a £34.5 trip with all fees included. There was no heavy traffic, we even arrived earlier. I contacted support, and it automatically offer refund to my bolt account and I said no, because I want refund to my original method of payment. Then I got assigned someone to and told me to chose refund in two ways. I said want a refund to my account. And it almost 1.5 hr, I’m still waiting the response. Worst customer support so far!!.Version: 128.0

Extremely Reliable Taxi App But Can Be Incredibly LaggyBolt often, if not always offers understanding and benevolent drivers for you. I have used this taxi app almost every day for the last 2 years, and have encountered little to no issues with the drivers and the cars. However, the app itself is a different story, as it can severely glitch. I had once scheduled a bolt to come an hour and a half later from when I ordered it. All had seemed well until, while walking towards the bolt, I saw that my bolt app had seemingly canceled the ride and all its history, behaving as if I had never ordered the bolt in the first place. At first, I believed that the drive might have canceled last minute and gave up trying to see if he had really come, as I had not checked yet what the plate was, and began to walk to my destination instead. After walking for about 7 minutes, I got a call from a seemingly random bolt driver who, when I picked up, turned out to be the bolt driver I had ordered to come 10 minutes ago. I eventually managed to find the bolt and, after restarting the app 5 times, finally see the supposedly lost bolt information. All in all, bolt may have friendly drivers, but not a friendly app..Version: 172.0

Easy to use but spottyThis app was easy to use and set up (we are from US). This service is cheaper than Uber and the taxis from what we have found. Vehicles/drivers are much nicer than taxis and drive better with more comfort. The only issue I have is that the drivers will cancels the rides a lot in the beginning. Maybe they see the destination and decide they don’t want to end up there. Also twice we have been waiting on drivers and the time never goes down. They accept the ride but don’t move towards your destination for some reason. Annoying after waiting and wasting the time waiting for them. Maybe this is just a European thing. Used Bolt in Barcelona, Cas Cais and Lisbon. Typically fast friendly and cheap! 35 min ride from Cas Cais to Sintra was only $13. The bus for three of us would’ve been almost $9, and much longer.Version: 145.0

Outdated maps and cannot tip driver!I normally use the U*** competitor, but received a discount promotion for Bolt. The reviews I read claim you can tip the driver within 15 minutes of completing the ride. I was short on change so thought I could just tip in the App. Nope. I then read that one has to apply the tip within 15 minutes of the end of the ride. Still, nope. It really irritates me, because these guys are out driving for this company on holidays and I can’t give them a little extra for their efforts, while Bolt corporate still generates revenue for shareholders…. In addition, I’m not sure what geo location map they use, but it needs to be updated, as I have had to cross the street on several occasions with heavy bags, after realizing they can’t find me. The second time it happened, they were off by 3 km! I would have had to eat that fare had I not noticed it. Bolt developers, you need to step it up!.Version: 77.0

Bad experienceEverything is great the prices are amazing and affordable and fair But my experience yesterday was not good at all , I order a taxi and it arrived on time after a few minutes in the car the driver told me that the company cannot makes update and change the prices with using a bad Bad language ( cursing the employee of the company and the company ) he told me I have to pay more if I want to continue my ride I told him I will pay the amount that the company asked for , and he said I cannot take you to your destination , he dropped me of and I had to order another taxi waiting in the street , I like you guys and your company is the number one right now I lebanon , don’t change this number keep the good work ..Version: 68.0

This is more like a complimentBolt need to gives an award to one driver of yours so sad I wasn’t able to rate him but he is the kind of one most honest being I never seen... I did a transfer to him yesterday when he dropped me at my destination but unfortunately I made x8 of his actual amount, I didn’t even notice till the next day which is more than 24hrs, immediately I called him and he said he has called the number I registered with bolt and I checked the phone and I truly saw his missed, he asked me to send his account number and send me the money with hesitating... I think he deserves the best bolt driver of the year... His name is Osemene Andrew Okudili His plate number : KSF61GQ.Version: 54.0

Unrealistic timesWhen ordering a ride, the app always gives me completely unrealistic wait times—like 2-3 minutes—with a bunch of cars supposedly right around me. But in reality, I always end up waiting at least 8-10 minutes at least. If it says 5 minutes, I know I’ll be waiting 15. Same goes for the ride duration—it doesn’t seem to factor in traffic, so it’s always longer than what the app shows. That part I can somewhat understand, but the wait times being this inaccurate have caused me real issues more than once. At this point, I just assume Bolt’s estimated time is off by 3x, but honestly, it feels like a trick to make you think a car is coming instantly—only for you to stand there waiting for 10+ minutes. So frustrating that I had to come here and write this review..Version: 178.0

I have successfully used it many timesOn my trip to Portugal, I have successfully used Bolt many times. They advertise a coupon for 70% off your first ride with a coupon. That didn’t work, so that’s why I dinged them one star. You also have to hope the Bolt drivers are interested in your trip. They can cancel if the trip doesn’t pay enough. I figure you can add a tip in advance if that becomes a problem. But I never had to do that since another driver accepted the ride. But the drivers have been nice, and the cars clean. The cost was sometimes cheaper than the local bus when you have several people traveling together. The fare was always cheaper than the cabs. You don’t have to worry about your cab padding the bill by taking the long route to your destination. The estimated time your driver will arrive is sometimes optimistic, but you can see the driver making progress on the map, and it hasn’t been off by much. All Portuguese drivers seem to drive fast. The Bolt drivers are no exception. If you ride in the front you can see how close the cliffs are, my friends in the back had a more relaxing experience..Version: 148.0

Best way to avoid taxi scamThere is nothing negative I have to say about Bolt. I have visited Bangkok with my family three times thus far and this is the first time using any ride hailing App. Other times before this we have been scam while using taxis. Even this time around getting a taxi from the airport cost us 1,500 baht to go to our hotel plus using express way. It only cost us 466 baht plus 150 baht for express way from hotel back to DMK airport. I highly recommend Bolt and getting a Thai sim at the airport to download and use Bolt first thing. You’ll know what you’ll be paying before requesting a ride. It works exactly like Uber..Version: 171.0

Great, with some pro tipsI used Bolt on a 5-day trip in Nice. Really handy if you have data on your cell phone (I have T-Mobile’s intl roaming). Out of the 10 trips I took: • the 1st time I was waiting at the hotel door, not at the sidewalk - the driver drove past, didn’t see me & canceled the ride. After that, I waited at the sidewalk • contact the driver say where are you standing - it signals that you’re serious about the ride. Several times the driver would accept the ride & sit there - after I’d text, the car starts moving again • on high demand times, make sure you have a backup like Uber.Version: 147.0

Frequent TravelerAs a foreigner, visiting from the United States, my experience with bolt has been a 7/10. I use Bolt mostly in Romania. My experience with the drivers are a hit and miss. Some drive out of control and some are safe. I would recommend making it a requirement for Bolt Drivers to know English as well no matter what country Bolt is offered in only because there will always be travelers from the U. S. Being able to communicate with the passenger makes the ride more fun and safe. As for the app, it is easy to navigate. I like how you can see where and who the driver is. I like how you are also able to track your ride as you go along..Version: 85.0

Consistently wrong home addressEvery time I initiate a search from my home address (which is saved in my profile and hasn't changed for about a year) I have to manually change "Where from" which is off by two houses EVERY TIME. My house number (saved in profile as Home) is 30 but for some reason it always sets starting address to house 26. So I have to manually change my From address every time. Very annoying! Update: this issue has been fixed for me, my home address is now correct by default (yay)..Version: 76.0

Awesome driver. Chatty, fun and dropped us off at the exact drop off point.Excellent driver!.Version: 158.0

Drivers frequently refuse requestsUnreliable if you’re catching a ride to the airport or train station. The user interface to confirm a driver is a nightmare. Each ride request charges the payment method without driver confirmation. Not only it’s very very hard to get a driver even with many within the vicinity, some accepted ones cancelled rides after 10mins wait!! There’s no way to provide feedback to these specific drivers..Version: 160.0

Drivers cancelEvery time I request a ride I get a driver and then they cancel and it looks for another driver that confirms and then cancels. Sometimes it takes many times before I get a driver that actually shows up. Other times it continuously does that so I give up and go with a competitor of Bolt. Its not a great ride service. Not reliable. Even though it shows drivers available they don’t accept the ride..Version: 160.0

USE it in GeorgiaTourists of Georgia, use this app ! You will be bombarded in the airport with people saying they're on the app, showing you, asking for more ( fine), but when I said I only have a card, they said ' no problem' and then you're halfway there and suddenly it's a problem. And an argument. Just use the app, ignore the taxi drivers asking..Version: 158.0
