Combining "the price reliability of ride-sharing with the speed of a taxi": this is "the best of both worlds" promised by BoltIn 2022, the ride-hailing platform embraced booking "classic" taxis. It intends to go one step further by freeing travellers from any potential worry about the vagaries of the meter.
Specifically, the Bolt app sets the price in advance of the journey, even before booking. This does not exempt the driver from activating their meter at the start of the journey. Quite the contrary: on arrival, the passenger always pays the lower of the two amounts – the pre-fixed price or the actual meter price. It should be noted that drivers are free to offer this "fixed price" feature or not.
" We are delighted to bring this pricing innovation to our platform » testifies the CEO of Bolt France. Julien Mouyeket continues: « By completing our ecosystem with the guaranteed-price taxi, we offer users complete flexibility and unprecedented peace of mind: they can now combine the fluidity of a taxi with the price transparency they are accustomed to with ride-hailing services. ".
