Bolt Kenya

An online cab company that started as taxify and was then rebranded to Bolt offers really affordable prices for its trips. You can download the Bolt app on google play store or apple store. I love the discounts that are often given to me and I find using Bolt quite comfortable especially when we are like 3 of us because then it gets cheaper than using matatu to go to wherever you are going and in a shorter time too. Bolt has about 5 options each with a different price range and car size. These are lite, which is usually the cheapest option, but the car will be really small so its great for 1 or 2 people especially during the pandemic. The others are bolt, which has the medium car sizes, the boda boda, the plus, the XL, which is the biggest in size of the cars so can carry a number of people. Note that the bigger the car size, the higher the price estimates. However, on many occasions the drivers end up becoming rude whenever you are going to pay with a card. One driver once asked me to cancel the ride after I had waited for him for about 15 minutes just because I was going to paying with a card. So, make sure you have cash or MPESA if you’re going to use Bolt to avoid any inconvenience.

Bolt is a taxi app. They provide transport services across the world in many cities. In kenya it’s in Nairobi and Nakuru. My experience with bolt has been generally good. The drivers are polite. Their application is easy to use. Once you type your destination, the app gives you an estimate of the amount your ride will be. The amount usually at the end of the ride is not far from this estimate. They have an option of different rides e.g an extra large vehicle, a protect, a motorcycle and a plus. These are suited to specific needs of every user. I usually use this app to get about Nairobi. Especially during night outs to avoid driving. I also use bolt to get to school. Their security is good especially now that they have an SOS button during rides. You can also share your drive with your loved ones.

Bolt (previously known as taxify) is a transportation app to request taxis wherever you are in many town in Kenya. Bolt is in 40 countries in the world. They offer safe, reliable transport. Bolt App is found on both android and iOS. The application’s design is very simple which makes it very easy to use. You just input your location and choose a destination and you’ll be given an estimate of the fare. Rarely does the amount at the end of the trip become higher than the estimates. Bolt is very popular for their low rates and their numerous offers. Sometimes you’ll even get a 50% discount!! The cars they use are decent. The drivers are okay but you may encounter some who are rude…I know I have. However you also get to rate your drivers. So if he does anything wrong during your trip then be sure to point it out. Although these cab services are quite safe, I encourage you to share your ETA and the whole ride with one of your friends or family to avoid cases of violence. The also have bolt protect.
