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

✅ Vilnius ✅ BudapestFirst of all the idea and the app is just great. It works perfectly and after understanding the underlying mechanism you will use the app flawlessly. Secondly, don't blame the company for issues with drivers or issues in some of the city with weird driver habits. Sure, customer service always has room for improvement, but as a tourist you are always subject of scammers. Better to notify us here with a helpful review. This means: 1. always add the CITY to your Appstore review 2. avoid card payments, use cash 3. if you use CC, you do it because of convenience. But think twice, most issues arise after CC payments 4. check routes after hopping in with GMaps or similar 5. the in app review system is to avoid any issues but cannot be perfect 6. local laws (price, license for drivers, taxes) for transportation are different per country* (*) in Budapest for example you have a rate, that is regulated by state. Thus, Taxify (Bolt) rate cannot be cheaper than other services. But if you are already familiar with this app from your home country and you feel safer, especially because of such features like showing an estimated price before the ride (= maximum transparency). Drivers can only cheat you when starting to argue (CC not working, detour without explanation). In Vilnius the app is perfect: a good amount of drivers is always available. Most of them use Toyota Prius. Yes, not all speak english but all are very friendly. Peak time charges apply sometimes (app shows them clearly). But also discounts available in off-peak times. I can recommend the use of the app in the Baltics 100%. I love this app as well while traveling to other European cities. No need to d/l local apps in (often) foreign languages and get familiar with it, save time and nerves with only one app. Happy customer.Version: CI.3.80

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

DisappointingWe installed the Bolt app so that we could get a ride to our hotel from the Lisbon airport. Although we are used to Uber, we were told that Bolt is popular in the area. When we arrived at the pick up area, we were given a list of different kinds of cars that Bolt wanted to send to us. We picked a Tesla, and almost immediately after they put through an international charge hold, they told us that the Tesla was not available and to pick another car. We tried a Peugeot, and the same thing happened, so we repeated three or four times before we gave up and used Uber, which worked great the first time. My second complaint about the Bolt app is that it’s feeding me ads through the notification system. I’m not even in Portugal anymore. This is a bad trend and it needs to stop..Version: 210.0

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

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

Good alternative to UberI’ve been using Bolt in France for several days now. All together a good copy of Uber with the exception that I don’t care for the constant, “pay more to get the ride you actually wanted”. Bolts system is similar to Uber but it’s not the same it would appear. Wait times are almost never correct and actual costs vary significantly from the initial estimated cost. Basically it’s a good alternative to Uber which is often very good but Uber prices can fluctuate as well so best practice is to check both services to get the best price. Example comparison rides in Paris can vary from 15-25euros between the two apps depending on time of day and location. My mother hates the metro so we took a lot of uber/bolt rides!.Version: 205.0

Consistent delayY’all really need to work on your app seriously. You book a ride and it says 5mins, then it suddenly jumps to 10-16 mins before arrival and that’s annoying..Version: 221.0

Always clean & efficientI have been impressed by the quality & cleanliness of the cars. The drivers are polite & seem to take pride in their work. Easy to follow when/where they’ll arrive..Version: 218.0

Very unsatisfiedI got subscription when I was in Europe and cancelled my subscription when I got back to Canada but still get charged every month. I emailed and asked for refund but no-one got back to me. Do mot subscribe to their app they will keep charging your credit card!.Version: 217.0

ReviewExcellent driver.Version: 213.0

Mixed FeelingMy account got stolen, someone booked a ride using my credit card, Bolt refused to refund me at first (they finally issued a refund after a lot of pressure). The app itself isn’t bad..Version: 214.0

Efficient and great valueHad the chance to use Bolt while in central EU. Service was outstanding and offers great value. Highly recommended!!!.Version: 210.0

DecentIt’s a very handy app, but for some reason my drivers are always asking where I am/ going. Can they not see? Drivers should not be able to mark that they’ve arrived if they’re not close enough. I often have a driver 15 minutes away who marks themself as arrived. Why charge me the waiting fee? Now I won’t be notified if they’re close or actually arrive. I should also be able to save points on the map/ label them. Would make saving hotels easier..Version: 206.0

Good app, poor serviceThe app is generally fine. However, Bolt has many policies that harm their users. Grab and Uber tend to be more service focused..Version: 204.0
