Ever gone to bed stressing about an upcoming trip or meeting you can’t miss? Whether it’s an early flight or an important event, Bolt will get you there on time!
With the new Scheduled Rides feature, you can book rides up to 90 days in advance and focus on having a good time instead of stressing about reaching your destination.

If you’re in a hurry to finalise your itinerary, here are the benefits of pre-booking a Bolt ride:
You can reserve a Bolt ride for any time, up to 90 days in advance. Whether it’s a late-night flight, an important event, or something you can’t miss — this feature’s for you!
The Scheduled Rides feature also offers a stress-free way to secure rides in remote areas with fewer drivers.
Scheduling a ride takes less than a minute, and there are several ways to do it.
Option 1:
Option 2:
You’ll see a 10-minute pickup window in the app because we can’t guarantee your driver will arrive at a precise minute. If you’re worried you might be late, simply select an earlier time.
We’ll keep you updated with all the relevant information, and you’ll get reminders 1 day and 1 hour before. And when the driver starts moving toward you, we’ll send you a push notification. You’ll also see the driver’s details and other information in the app.
Once the driver arrives, you’ll have 5 minutes free waiting time instead of the usual 2.
If you take longer to get ready, you’ll be charged according to the wait time fee indicated in the category detail view. Don’t worry — if the driver arrives early, the waiting time doesn’t start before the pickup window closes!
We understand plans change. That’s why you can cancel requests free of charge up to 1 hour before your scheduled pickup.
Here’s how to do it:
Remember, you’ll be charged a cancellation fee if you cancel a trip less than an hour before the scheduled pickup.
You can pay as you would for any other Bolt rides — with an active in-app payment method.
Please note that we may verify your card to check its validity. The actual charge only occurs after you’ve completed the trip.
If you’ve got a can’t-miss event planned, it’s the perfect time to use the Scheduled Rides feature!
