Bolt is a free mobile application that connects drivers and customers and allows customers to conveniently request a driver to pick them up wherever they are and take them where they want to go in a quick, reliable, and affordable way, while drivers registered to the platform can earn money by accepting hire services through the application.

Bolt says its foray into Namibia underscores its commitment to revolutionizing mobility in the region.

“By offering ride-hailing services tailored to both individual and corporate needs, Bolt aims to provide Namibians with convenient, reliable, and affordable transportation options.”

Laurent Koerge, Head of Expansion at Bolt, said, “Our mission extends beyond merely boosting driver revenues; we aim to ignite demand through competitive pricing. By keeping our commissions substantially lower than our counterparts, we ensure drivers earn more while presenting customers with appealing service fees. Our unwavering dedication to profitability and fairness underscores our belief that happy drivers are the cornerstone of happy customers.”

The move is expected to bring competition to the local market currently serviced by LEFA, InDriver, Dial a Cab, City Cab, and Yango.

Bolt has over 150 million customers in over 45 countries and over 500 cities across Europe and Africa.
