Bolt ride service -- what's the difference between economy car and a Bolt car?


Recommended Posts

This is what I received from Bolt when they first started operations here. I'm not sure if any of it still applies. I imagine "Bolt Base" is now "Bolt Car" ? :

 

 

At Bolt we have 5 ride categories.

Bolt Base - Starting fare from 35 baht Standard rate (All type of cars will be in this one)
Bolt Economy - Starting fare from 26 baht 15% cheaper than Base rate ( All type of cars will be in this one too if the drivers agree with Economy rate)
Bolt Comfort - Starting fare from 75 baht 30% Higher than Base rate ( Only cars in premium category will be in this one)
Bolt XL - Starting fare from 75 baht Higher than Comfort Rate (6-9 seaters ie SUV and Van)
Bolt Taxi - Starting fare from 35 baht Taxi rate (This will only be for Taxi)

Not sure. I have only been in one Bolt I  worried about. Phuket Central Floresta to Patong the dudes brakes were squealing bad on the downhills if it was raining I probably would have bailed. Not safe.

I also know Bolt as the name of a car model, manufactured by GM in the USA, I believe, a hybrid or fully electric vehicle, I am not sure which.

if you absolutely need a bigger you can choose one of the expensive options.  But if you choose Economy you might get a big car anyway.

Personally the cars have been ok when I select economy... sometimes even a larger green and yellow cab.

I took took two economy car rides today. Both large late model taxi cars. The first one was excellent and had a plastic barrier in place. The second one no barrier and a somewhat mentally disturbed driver. 5 stars!  The cynic in me says that Economy and Bolt gets you the same cars and its just a way to give people the choice of paying more.
