Bolt provides millions of people globally with a fast, affordable, and reliable way to get around cities. Now you can bring those benefits to your company to improve how your team travels for work.
You may already use Bolt for work rides via the Bolt Work Profile. If not, that’s a simple way to separate your trips for leisure and business within the Bolt app. But there’s also the Bolt Business Team Account, which makes business travel management easier for your company as a whole.
To make that happen, you need buy-in from stakeholders. That means presenting:
You’ll get all of that (and more) in this article.
The Bolt Business Team Account is a free tool where admins can control, manage, and pay for employee work trips — all from an easy-to-use dashboard.
You can create a company account in minutes. And once set up, account holders can add employees who need to travel for work. Controls for those journeys can be set at an individual or team level, covering pick-up and drop-off locations, time of travel, and spending limits.
The company will be listed as a payment method in each individual’s Bolt app. And as long as the journey meets the permissions set by the company, they’re good to go. This gives employees an easy way to travel while the company has complete control.
Bolt Business is an affordable, reliable, and safe way for teams to travel for work. The company controls the travel, and employees can book Bolt trips as and when needed.
Teams that ride with Bolt Business benefit from:
You’ll get a competitive price every time you travel with Bolt. This could save your business money to invest in more valuable areas.
“We’re grateful to Bolt for providing an affordable and user‑friendly platform for our company rides. They make it easy!”
Maarja Lainas, Head of Client Service at ALD Automotive
Admins have full control and visibility of all employee work trips from the Team Account dashboard.
Employees can only ride in a way that’s approved by the company. It’s possible to set spending limits, pick-up and drop-off destinations, and eligible modes of transport.
Admins can download detailed reports of all company travel which covers total costs, distance travelled, and when employees travelled. You can then break these reports down by individuals, teams, or the business as a whole.
After travelling for business, getting back to the office often means filling out work ride expense reports. Expensing journeys takes up valuable time that could be better spent elsewhere. It also means that employees have to hold onto their receipts.
With Bolt Business, work ride expense reports are all taken care of.

The hassles that often come with travelling for work don’t end when you get back to the office.
This is the point when employees lose valuable time filling out work ride expenses from crumpled up receipts. The time spent doing this adds up to 4,000 lost hours each month for businesses with 1,000 employees (based on a study by the GBTA Foundation).
The expense reports for all Bolt Business rides are fully automated and delivered to account admins.
Bolt’s global network of drivers is always growing. That means your team will never be waiting long for a ride, wherever business takes you.
