Bolt has today announced the launch of Bolt Plus in Kenya. This service is similar to Uber One which has been available in Kenya for over a year. This is a new subscription service that gives customers exclusive savings and priority benefits across rides and food delivery. The service starts at KES 280 per month and is targeting those who use Bolt regularly.
Bolt Plus also offers 10% cashback for every ride, free delivery on eligible food and retail orders priority driver matching, faster food delivery and three free ride cancellations every month.
Bolt says new subscribers will get their first month free, while an annual subscription is available at KES 899. As a launch offer, Bolt Plus is available at an introductory rate of KES 119 per month.
Ivy Njeri Maingi, Bolt Food General Manager, Kenya said: “For KES 280 a month, customers get 10% cashback on every ride, savings on eligible delivery fees, faster driver matching, priority food and retail delivery and greater flexibility when plans change. These benefits are built into the everyday Bolt experience, so the value is felt from the first ride or order. Ultimately, Bolt Plus is about rewarding loyalty in a way customers can actually feel.”
Some of the benefits of Bolt Plus membership include:
- Free delivery on eligible orders – Members can order from selected restaurants and stores, marked with a “+” in the app, without paying a delivery fee on orders within qualifying value ranges, saving up to KES 200 per order.
- Faster food delivery – Member orders are prioritised, so meals and essentials arrive quicker.
- 5-10% cashback on all rides – Credited directly to a member’s Bolt Balance and redeemable on future trips.
- Priority pick-ups – Members are matched with drivers faster, even during high-demand periods.
- Three free ride cancellations per month – Giving members the flexibility to change plans without penalty.
