Bolt Driver: Drive & Earn, or Bolt Driver, is a free navigation app for earning extra income as a partner driver. While having a vehicle is a plus, those who don’t have one can rent from Bolt’s fleet partner. Drivers can expect higher payouts every week—thanks to Bolt Driver’s low commission fees. 

Like any other job, your performance is key to success. By keeping track of your driver score and acceptance rate, you can gauge whether you’re underperforming or meeting the company’s quality standards. As for the drawbacks, users have reported app freezing and small driver bonuses.

A flexible part-time job

Bolt is an Estonian mobility firm established by developer Oliver Leisalu and brothers Markus Villig and Martin Villig. Since its founding in 2013, the company has served millions of customers from more than 20 countries, including Germany, Nigeria, and South Africa. With Bolt Driver: Drive & Earn, you can work as a partner driver for Bolt and enjoy unparalleled flexibility and freedom.

Upon registration, new drivers are given the choice to undergo online or face-to-face training. If opting for the latter, it will be held at your nearest Bolt driver hub. Only after completing the training can you start earning income from driving. As mentioned, the job is flexible; hence, it’s up to you whether you prefer to work during the weekends or after your day job.

Unlike PickMe Driver Sri Lanka, which offers instant payouts, this app only lets you receive your income every week. Depending on the driver, this is a drawback. On the bright side, it comes with a tracker for monitoring your earnings along with your expenses for the week. With its emergency assist function and other safety features, you can count on the app to keep you safe and sound while driving.

Vehicle ownership is not required

A strong competitor in the ride-hailing industry, Bolt Driver: Drive & Earn proves that you don’t have to own a vehicle to kickstart your driving career. It’s flexible, so you can set off on the road and accept requests whenever you want. With performance metrics like driver scores, everyone is expected to be a driver of high caliber. Unfortunately, the small bonuses are a disappointment.
