Keep reading to see how it works and how you can benefit.

What is Bolt Rewards?

Bolt Rewards is a reward programme designed for drivers on the Bolt platform to celebrate their high-quality service through benefits and discounts.

Bolt Rewards includes 4 tiers with increasing benefits, such as fuel and insurance discounts, exclusive vehicle financing or accounting deals, dedicated support, and more.

Drivers can unlock tiers and perks by earning points for finished rides.

How does Bolt Rewards work?

No more missing a reward because you overlooked an ongoing campaign, forgot to participate, or couldn’t drive that week.

All eligible driver partners will be enrolled automatically.

You have a whole month to collect enough points to qualify for the new Bolt reward tier, and you can enjoy the benefits from the moment you unlock them until the end of next month.

You’ll earn points with each regular trip and reward points for peak-hour rides.

Bolt Rewards is also completely transparent.

You can view all the benefits of your current and next tiers in the Bolt Driver app to understand your targets.

Bolt Rewards lets you easily see your progress on the Bolt driver app’s home screen, allowing you to adjust your schedule and ensure you meet your goals.

Bolt Rewards’ specific benefits vary by country. Still, it offers 2 types of perks:

Convenient reward features

Besides discounts and higher earnings, Bolt Reward allows you to take advantage of convenient reward features that make driving more profitable and enjoyable:

Priority customer support

With the Silver tier you’ll have to wait shorter for a customer support response. Faster responses mean less stress, and quicker resolutions mean more time to earn.

More earnings from more trip requests

The number of ride requests you receive depends on your Bolt Rewards level, driver score, and acceptance rate.

The higher your Bolt Rewards level, the higher you’ll be on the ride-matching waitlist and the more you’ll earn, thanks to more ride requests.

Keep in mind that to be eligible for Bolt Rewards, your account must be in good standing — your driver score and acceptance rate have to be over the necessary threshold you can see in the app.

More trips towards the destination

This feature allows you to only receive requests for rides that take you closer to your selected destination.

Trips towards the destination is a perfect feature when you want to complete a couple of rides on your way to a specific place.

Levelling up on Bolt Rewards unlocks more trips towards destination per day.

Acceptance screen transparency

See ride price and destination before accepting the request for better insight into your earnings.

Additional features will be available soon.
