Bolt

Bolt is an Estonian mobility super-app offering ride-hailing, electric scooter and bike rentals, food delivery (Bolt Food), and grocery delivery across Europe, Africa, and parts of Asia. Bolt competes with Uber across dozens of markets and is particularly strong in Eastern Europe, the Baltic states, and Sub-Saharan Africa. When Bolt experiences outages, riders cannot request rides and drivers cannot go online to accept trips.

Common Issues
