User Reviews
سقط مني غرض في سيارة السائق وعندما تواصلت معه قال أن الغرض ليس موجود رغم إني متأكد أنه سقط في مركبته وعندما تواصلت مع خدمة العملاء رفضوا الاهتمام بالمشكلة الخاصة بي ولم يبدون أي ردة فعل ولكن حسبي الله ونعم الوكيل على السائق وحسبي الله ونعم الوكيل على إدارة التطبيق على توظيفهم لسائقين نصابون و حرامين سارقون
Unbelievable. Bolt “confirmed” my reservation to Heathrow three days before my flight. Kept in touch, then 60 and 30 minutes prior to pick up, told me to “get ready.” Then said it had found a driver and even gave me his name. Then at the appointed time, the message was “looking for a driver.” Then 15 minutes AFTER the appointed time, Bolt cancelled, saying it couldn’t locate a driver. On a trip to the airport. So there I am, on the sidewalk with my luggage. No car. Thank heavens for Uber. As for Bolt, never, ever again. (Plus, “customer service” is AI.)
Requesting a way to give tips to those drivers who really earn it. Sometimes stars and comments are not enough.
Quick service, very reliable with reasonable charges
We scheduled a ride two days in advance to get from central Paris to CDG. The driver was 5 minutes late beyond the window and then refused to take us saying we had too much luggage. Late getting to CDG causing us to miss our opportunity to deal with VAT refund costing us more than 1k euro. Should have stuck with Uber.
Slow drivers, no support, wrong timing. Avoid this stupid app
We love Bolt for helping us get to where we want to be. The drivers are friendly and on time. Best way to travel in Romania and other countries in Europe.
Worst Service in Saudi Arabia Do not book it . Driver cheat the passengers and cancel the ride or asking for additional money. Never ever book it.
Bolt has made my trip to Paris a joy. I am traveling with my elderly cousin and Bolt has made what could have been a hassle to an enjoyable vacation!
Several times I’ve been quoted a driver was 3-5 minutes away. I was lucky after ordering if they show up in 15 minutes. Seems like a scam to quote false times. I had a driver decide to go to a different pick up area, even though I was in an approved area, then drive past me further away resulting in a late pick up fee. This company seems worse than uber with shady practices.
