Your additional layer of protection
We constantly work towards finding effective ways to keep you protected during your Bolt ride. That’s why we have two safety buttons in the app – Share your ETA and emergency assist.
While your trip is in progress, open the Bolt app and you’ll see the option to “Share your ride details”. Your loved ones will be able to see exactly where you are, and when they can expect you to arrive. Your location will be visible in real-time on the map.
Despite all of the safety measurements, sometimes things don’t go as planned. That’s when our emergency assist button comes into play — it triggers real-time safety emergency alerts, allowing you to access ambulance services, the fire brigade, police and armed response.
It’s like having two personal bodyguards with you during the trip. Feels safe, right?
