WARNING - DANGEROUS APP
We were in Paris when we were attacked by a Bolt driver. We immediately contacted bolt and the police. Bolt did their own “review” but despite us having witnesses, photographic evidence, video evidence and a police report they sided with the driver and canceled our account I was absolutely floored by this until I looked into it. Turns out it is much easier for Bolt just get rid of a customer and write it off then it is to deal with firing a driver - this is because it’s legally safer and they avoid appearing like an “employer” when they don’t disciple their drivers. This app is VERY dangerous and does not vey their drivers thoroughly. I highly recommend you avoid Bolt when visiting anywhere in Europe. Trust me.

Can’t tip!
I feel bad for your drivers because I haven’t been able to tip them in the app and I never carry cash for safety reasons.
