Bolt

An Estonian-founded ride-hailing app offering private car and taxi bookings in Beirut and other Lebanese cities. About Bolt: Bolt is a European ride-hailing company operating in Lebanon, offering private car rides through the app, generally positioning itself with competitive pricing compared to traditional taxi negotiation. Key Features: App-Based Booking: Request a ride through the app with upfront fare estimates. In-App Payment: Pay by card where supported, or cash depending on driver and availability. Live Trip Tracking: Follow your driver's location and estimated arrival time on the map. Competitive Pricing: Often positioned as a lower-cost, more transparent alternative to street taxis. How to Get Started: Download the Bolt app and register with your phone number. Enter your pickup location and destination to see available ride options and fares. Confirm your booking and track your driver's arrival. Pay through the app or in cash, and rate your trip afterward. Important Notice: Given Lebanon's currency instability, fares and payment methods can be affected — check whether card payment is functioning reliably or whether cash (and in which currency) is expected before your ride.
