Understanding your protection and potential fines

When you use Bolt Drive, your financial responsibility for damage to the vehicle is limited to €1000. If you damage someone else’s property, your responsibility is limited to €750.

This protection only applies if you follow Bolt Drive General Terms and Conditions, the damage was from an accident that you reported to us and the police right away and cooperated fully in resolving the issue.
