Exciting news, Auckland — Bolt is now available in your city! Whether commuting, running errands, or just visiting, Bolt offers a great new way to get around. To those looking for flexible earning opportunities, Bolt offers a convenient way to make money driving.

A smart alternative to owning a car

The launch comes as more New Zealanders look for alternatives to daily transport and commute. Despite having the world's highest private car ownership rate, rising parking costs, growing congestion, and environmental concerns are prompting a shift.

More and more young people are putting off getting a driver’s licence, or skipping it altogether, and going for the convenience of shared rides instead. That’s why flexible options like Bolt are becoming a go-to for getting around the city. After all, riding is the new driving.

Affordable rides from day one

By being among the first to try Bolt in Auckland, you and your friends will be able to take advantage of our exciting launch promotions:

Download the Bolt app and enjoy 50% off on your first 7 rides (up to $12 each).
You can also refer your friends by sharing your unique referral code found in the Promotions section of your Bolt app. You'll both get 70% off, up to $14, on your next 2 rides**.

Even without discounts, you’ll notice the value every time you ride. Whether you’re heading to brunch in Ponsonby, commuting from Mt Eden, or catching a show downtown, there’s a Bolt ready when you are.

Make money driving with Bolt

We’re also looking for driver partners to earn money driving with the Bolt platform. We operate in 50 countries and 600 cities worldwide and will provide drivers with a convenient, flexible new way to earn, with weekly payouts and 24/7 in-app support. To help you get started, we’ve prepared a few offers just for new driver partners.
