Bolt Driver Heartbeat brings you the latest news, updates, and insights to help you stay safe and get the most out of your Bolt Driver App.
๐ย Make the most of Scheduled Rides:
Many driver partners are already using Scheduled Rides to make the most of their time on the platform.
With Scheduled Rides, you can:
Accept trips up to 7 days in advance
Enjoy more control over your time
Keep track of upcoming trips and plan around them
In case you missed it, here's how it works:
๐ธMore time for tips, here's what's changed
Just a reminder that the tipping window has been extended from 15 minutes to 2 hours after a trip ends, following feedback you shared through support calls, Bolt on the Move events, and surveys.
This means passengers have more time to leave a tip at a time that's convenient for them, giving you a greater opportunity to be recognised for the service you provide.
Thank you for your continued feedback; it's what drives improvements like this one.

Your safety on the road ๐
At Bolt, keeping driver partners safe is a priority. Here's a quick reminder of the safety features available to you on the platform:
๐ Hidden number โ your personal phone number stays private on every call made through the app.
๐ Trip sharing โ share your real-time location with friends or family during a ride, so someone always knows where you are.
๐ค Passenger transparency โ see passenger information before arrival, including ride history and rating.
๐ Emergency Assist โ discreetly alert emergency services with a single tap of the in-app SOS button.
Driver partner Pardeep from Birmingham knows first-hand how valuable these features can be: "SOS is underrated โ it feels like a premium, high quality security benefit. You know your location is tracked and the police are directly connected to you."
