General information
All fares shown in the Bolt app are estimates, calculated in line with the pricing structure set by the National Transport Authority (NTA). This includes any applicable surcharges such as the Booking Fee, additional passenger fee and charges related to toll roads or public holiday travel.
Note: Fares for the Bolt Executive category and the Chauffer category are not determined by the NTA and differ from other category pricing. Fare estimates for Executive trips are shown in advance before booking. Your fare estimate is displayed before you confirm your trip and reflects the expected total based on your selected route. The final fare may vary slightly if the route or drop-off location changes during the ride. All costs are inclusive of VAT, where applicable.
