Bolt is closing car and scooter rentals for New Year's Eve. This is to ensure people get home safely. Bolt does not want intoxicated people driving their cars or scooters.
The Bolt Drive service will be closed from December 31 at 23:00 until January 1 at 6:00 am. Scooters will be closed from December 31 at 21:00 until January 1 at 8:00 am.
If a person has rented a car or scooter before the closure, they can continue using it. However, new trips cannot be started.
Bolt has done a lot of work to ensure people drive safely. For example, cars now have a driving score that helps reduce accidents. Cars also warn drivers if they are driving too fast.
Accidents involving scooters have decreased by 10 percent. Bolt taxi drivers now have the ability to record audio, which helps ensure safety.
