A Ride-hailing platform—Bolt has launched a rewards initiative aimed at acknowledging the exceptional ride-hailing experiences offered by its driver partners.

Through a tiered rewards system and in-app discounts, the firm seeks to honour and incentivize its driver partner community, demonstrating appreciation for their dedication and service.

Driver-partners will automatically be enrolled into Bolt Rewards and will accumulate points based on the number of finished riders over one month.

The platform’s initiative helps recognize and reward driver-partners, with incentives and discounts which help driver-partners manage their operating costs and unexpected costs of repairs.

Dimmy Kanyankole, general manager, Bolt Tanzania said: “As the ride-hailing app, we understand that satisfied driver partners lead to satisfied riders. With Bolt Rewards, we aim to acknowledge and incentivize the drivers on our platforms who consistently deliver top-notch ride-hailing experiences.

“This initiative highlights our commitment to enhancing the driver app and appreciating our driver-partner community. We are also delighted to partner with At the Wheel to offer quality maintenance services to drivers on our platform. We believe that through such partnerships, we can provide even more substantial rewards and show our appreciation for the hard work and commitment of drivers on our platform.”

Bolt Rewards joins a suite of recent Driver app upgrades from Bolt aimed at helping driver partners provide a high-quality ride-hailing experience. The new Driver Compliments feature provides drivers with recognition of exceptional service and motivation through positive post-trip rating compliments and comments. Bolt continues to offer more flexible earning opportunities for driver-partners and ensures riders can access our ride-hailing services wherever they are.
