Bolt Cash Payment: Everything You Need To Know

Here's how "Cash Payment" works on Bolt.

Bolt

Bolt Cash Payment refers to a method of payment used within the Bolt ride-hailing app. With Bolt Cash Payment option, Riders have the option to pay for their rides in Cash rather than using electronic payment methods like credit cards or digital wallets like PayPal.

This is particularly useful in regions where electronic payment methods might not be widely available or preferred by customers. It offers flexibility and convenience to passengers who may not have access to or prefer not to use digital payment options.

Meanwhile, Cash Payment for Bolt Drivers is not allowed in some regions. In addition, Bolt does allow cash payments for rides and food deliveries for users who prefer it to other payment options on the Bolt app.

However, it's crucial to ensure that you have the exact cash amount needed to cover your order when using Bolt Cash Payment. Without the correct cash on hand, there's a risk that your order might not be fulfilled by the driver.

Additionally, when settling your fare, it's important to pay in the local currency to avoid any confusion or inconvenience for both you and the driver.

For Bolt Food Delivery Service, given that delivery man don't carry POS terminals and you haven't make the payment via app, it's essential to have physical cash available when your order is delivered.

This means preparing the necessary cash in advance to complete the transaction smoothly. By adhering to these guidelines, you can ensure a seamless and efficient payment process for your Bolt ride and delivery.
