Pay for the time and distance you drive, nothing more.

Start driving

Rent a car faster than finding a parking space. Drive it as long as you need to, park it for free, and move on with your day.

“I think the app is also quite intuitive. I really like the counter where it shows while you're driving how much you're spending, which none of the other apps have."

Frequently asked questions

When you rent a car with Bolt Drive, the parking fee is included in the price of your rental, so you can enjoy free parking within the operational zone whenever you need to make a stop. Still, you always need to check local traffic rules if you can leave the car there. Also private parking (supermarkets, garages, etc.) is not covered.

However, if you choose to end the rental outside our operating area, you will be charged a fee. Check your city’s operational area inside the app.

In case of damaging the car, you may be charged a fee. For more details, please read the Terms and Conditions of Bolt Drive.

The specific make and model of hire car depends on availability. Our car-types include: small, electric, medium-sized, and premium cars, as well as SUVs and vans. Check the app to see which cars are available to rent nearby.

Simply pay inside your Bolt app as you would for a Bolt car or scooter ride (credit/debit card or Apple Pay).

Once you find the car you’d like to rent, simply tap on the button in your Bolt app to unlock the vehicle and start driving!

Once you unlock the car with your Bolt app, you’ll find the car keys inside the car.

Some vehicles support intercity travel, and an intercity fee is charged upon finishing a trip. Please check the vehicle card’s Help section for a list of cities where you can end a trip. If a city’s not on the list, you can’t finish a trip there, and you must return the car to where you rented it.
