Bolt is offering a 15% bonus to drivers who complete five trips in a day. To get the bonus, drivers must accept 40% of ride requests and complete 55% of their trips. This is a lower requirement than usual, as Bolt typically expects drivers to accept at least 60% of requests.
Bolt is trying to encourage more drivers to use their platform. The company is facing competition from Uber and inDrive, and wants to keep drivers engaged. This is not the first time Bolt has offered incentives to drivers. In the past, they have offered fuel discounts, insurance discounts, and a bidding system to negotiate prices.
Bolt has also launched partnerships and programs to build relationships with drivers. These include a recent drivers’ event and a partnership to offer short-term loans to drivers.
