Bolt Receipt

What’s on a Bolt Receipt

• Date, time, and city of the ride

• Pickup and drop-off addresses with the route distance and duration

• Fare breakdown — base fare, per-kilometre and per-minute components, booking fee, and any surge multiplier

• Discounts or campaign codes applied to the trip

• Payment method — card, cash where available, or Bolt Balance

• Driver’s name and the trip identifier support uses

• Local tax lines, where the market requires them

Getting Your Bolt Receipt as a PDF

Bolt sends the receipt automatically to the email on your account minutes after each trip ends — search the inbox for “Bolt” and the city name if it went missing. The durable copy lives in the app: Ride history lists every trip, and opening one shows the full fare breakdown with the option to resend or download the receipt. That in-app copy is the answer to the classic problem of expense season — receipts from months ago don’t need to be dug out of email, they can be re-sent one by one from history to whatever address your finance tool ingests.

Scheduled rides and airport transfers receipt the same way once the trip completes. If receipts never arrive at all, check the email address on the account — a typo there is the usual culprit, and support can correct it and resend past trips.

The email route has one failure mode worth knowing: receipts go to the address on the Bolt account, not the one in your head — an account registered years ago to an old email quietly sends every Bolt receipt there. If receipts seem to never arrive, the account's email setting is the first thing to check, and the app's ride history is the recovery path either way.

Bolt Business and Work Rides

Riders who expense regularly should split profiles: a work profile (or a company Bolt Business account) routes work trips to a company email or dashboard automatically, with monthly consolidated statements that replace one-by-one receipt chasing. Companies on Bolt Business get centralized billing, ride policies, and exportable trip reports — which means the receipt question disappears entirely for staff. If you ride on a personal profile for work, the per-trip PDFs from ride history remain your evidence; just keep the home–office trips out of the claim.

Bolt's other verticals file into the same account: scooters and rentals produce per-ride receipts in the identical email-plus-app pattern as car rides, so a commuter mixing modes ends the month with one receipt archive instead of three. For expense purposes the mode matters — some employers reimburse rides but not scooters — so the receipt naming the service is the line reviewers check.

Reading the Fare — and Bolt Food Orders

When a receipt total surprises, the breakdown explains it: surge multipliers apply to the time-and-distance components, the booking fee is fixed per trip, and route changes or waiting time add measurable lines. Cancelled-trip fees generate their own receipt. Bolt Food is a separate service with separate receipts — order confirmations and delivery receipts live in the Food side of the app and its emails, so an expense evening of a ride plus dinner is two documents, not one. Currency follows the market: receipts print in the local currency of the city where the ride happened.

Tips, where the market supports them, print as their own line after the fare — worth knowing because some expense policies reimburse the fare but cap or exclude the tip.
