Meet the Business ride type

Keep your business trips running even more smoothly. 

Choose the Business ride type in the Bolt app for work-related travel — get a bigger car with ample legroom and a driver who knows you have business to do.

How to use the Business ride type

You can choose the Business category if your company has a Bolt Business account. If not, here is how to convince your company to get one.

To find the Business category, switch to your business payment method in the Bolt app — then follow the steps below:

1. Search for your destination;
2. Choose the Business ride type;
3. Tap the Select Business button to book a trip or the calendar icon to schedule work rides up to 90 days in advance.

It’s as simple as that.

Now that you know you’ve got a reliable ride for your next business trip, use this business trip packing list to make sure you’ve got everything you need.

Bolt Business vs. company cars

Moving to the backseat is a significant change if you are used to driving for work in a company car. But considering the pros and cons, it works out better for you and your business. 

• You don’t need to park — just jump out of the car at your destination.
• There’s no risk of getting a parking ticket.
• Paying for fuel isn’t your concern.
• You can use your travel time to relax, work, or make calls.

Even the most confident company car advocates will see the benefits. 

Bolt Business vs. car allowances

If your employer pays a car allowance to support you in using your vehicle for work, you still stand to benefit by using the Bolt app for business travel. 

• You’ll slow down your personal vehicle’s need for maintenance.
• You won’t get lost travelling to new locations.  
• Your car will be safe and sound at home or in a secure car park — not in an unfamiliar neighbourhood.
• You can make the most of your travel time by working or relaxing.

Manage company-wide travel with Bolt Business

During a business trip, time is of the essence as you only have a limited amount of time to achieve your goals before heading home. Transport is significant in keeping your business trip on schedule — but many companies overlook ground travel. 

Bolt Business gives you an easy and efficient way to manage corporate ground travel for your entire company. 

Company admins get complete control over employee travel (including how much they can spend), and employees can book work rides directly from their Bolt app when needed.
