Book a ride up to 90 days in advance with Bolt to make your workdays run like clockwork.

Whether you need a comfortable commute to the office, a reliable ride to an offsite meeting, or an early trip to the airport, use Bolt to book rides up to 90 days in advance.

Order a car in advance

With the Scheduled Rides feature, you can book both work and personal rides. 

Having a driver partner ready and waiting to take you to work makes mornings much more comfortable. And having the same reliability after a long day at work — especially on a night shift — makes getting home safer.

Beyond the commute, professionals can schedule Bolt rides for any time-sensitive commitments — offsite meetings, airport transfers, and more.

All you need to use to schedule a ride is the Bolt app.

How to use Scheduled Rides for business trips

First, your company needs to create a Bolt Business account so you can set your company as the payment method in the Bolt app and charge rides directly to your employer. 

Here’s how it looks. 👇

You can set your company as a payment method in the Bolt app if they have a Bolt Business account.

If your company doesn’t have a Bolt Business account, learn how to convince them to get one. 😉

As an alternative to Bolt Business, you can keep your work rides and personal trips separate by setting up a free Work Profile in the Bolt app. 

How to schedule your next work ride 

  1. Set your company as the payment method in the Bolt app;
  2. Tap the icon with the car and calendar symbols;
  3. Choose the ride date and time;
  4. Enter the pick-up point and final destination; 
  5. Choose a ride category;
  6. Tap Reserve Bolt to confirm your booking.

Get reminders about your trip

After scheduling your work ride, you’ll get 3 reminders:

  • 1 day before your journey.
  • 1 hour before pick-up.
  • When the driver is on their way to pick you up. 

Once the driver arrives, you have 5 minutes of free wait time. If the driver arrives earlier, the waiting time starts at your chosen pick-up time.
