Why drive with Bolt

Bolt operates in over 50 countries and connects millions of riders with driver partners every day. As an independent driver partner, you choose when to drive and which ride requests to accept.

Set your own schedule

Go online and offline in the app whenever it suits you. Drive on your own terms, whether alongside your everyday work or in your free time.

Fast payouts

Get your earnings regularly, with weekly or bi-weekly payouts, instead of waiting until the end of the month.

Regular payouts help you stay in control of your finances and plan ahead.

Large rider network

Bolt connects driver partners with a large network of riders across the city. A larger rider base on the platform increases your opportunities for receiving ride requests.

How much can you earn driving

Your earnings = Fares + Optional bonuses + Tips This simple breakdown explains how your earnings are calculated and how different components add up when you drive with Bolt. Your earnings depend on when, where, and how much you choose to drive. You can drive regularly or just take a few rides in your free time. Earnings are influenced by demand in your area, your vehicle category and how many driver partners are active nearby.

Earnings vary by market, demand, and activity.

Fares

In many markets, driver partners earn up to 75% of the fare per ride, but this may vary by location.

Earnings are calculated per completed ride and paid according to the local schedule.

Rewards

At times, Bolt runs campaigns to increase rider demand in specific areas or during certain hours. These can include peak-time offers or activity-based campaigns.

Terms vary by market and are shown in the app.

Propinas

Riders can choose to leave a tip after a ride. Tips are added to your fare share and paid directly to you. Any tips you receive are yours in full and are included in your total earnings.
