Ratings and Reviews
Rude drivers
Some drivers when called ask where you are going and when you tell them they say they are coming and take forever and when you try calling them they don’t pick up
I’d prefer honesty in drivers if they can’t go to a certain place they should just say and not keep you waiting
Other than everything’s good
KIDNAPPED BY BOLT!
On the 30th of June 2023 at 21:30 I was headed to an art gallery opening my friend invited me to and I used bolt as I have many times. But this bolt driver ended the trip shortly after the trip started before I arrived to my destination, and when I asked him why he ended the trip, he locked the car and started speeding while ignoring me. To my luck, there was a big speed bump ahead, so he slowed down, which allowed me to open the back door and try to jump, but he grabbed me by my neck and my jacket collar, and he said you’re not going anywhere. I started hitting his head with my phone until he stopped driving and I was screaming, so people gathered around, and he had the audacity to say he was only fighting me because I had refused to pay him, which was a lie. No one believed me when I said he was trying to kidnap me, so I had to pay him so he would leave me alone. I am for sure not using ever again in my life. I’m just gonna stick to Uber.
DRIVER MISCONDUCT
Maybe I should begin by pointing out that I reside in Kenya, and Bolt’s reputation has been tainted. I thought it was a hoax until I had a bad experience with a driver myself. On three different occasions.
(a) So on occasion I booked a ride, and the driver showed up in a different vehicle from what is indicated on the app, and also ended the trip before reaching the destination for some nonsensical reason. Very rude as well.
(b) After I booked a ride, a driver called and asked where I was going, then he ended up telling me he can’t take me there at that price. He literally told me to use another app 😨
(c) Another driver also called and asked how much is price is indicated on my phone for the trip. Literally asked me to pay more.
My advice to anyone would be to avoid paying these Kenyan drivers in cash. Rather, pay using a card. That way you won’t get into heated arguments when they ask you to pay more. Also the management should take such misconduct seriously. Charges are between the user and Bolt, not the driver and user.
