How to request a Bolt ride without downloading the app

28 Oct 2020

Nowadays, thereā€™s an app for everything. Apps to track your sleep, apps to remind you of your wedding anniversary and apps to help you get from A to B, of course. The list goes on. But what if you need to get to the other side of town quickly, but your phone battery died or you just donā€™t want to (ā€¦ or simply canā€™t) download anything new? The Bolt Web app can help you out!

Why request a Bolt ride without downloading the app?

When youā€™re running out of storage space

Raise a hand if youā€™ve seen the ā€œnot enough storage spaceā€ message on your phone. Would deleting a few cat videos help? Probably, but theyā€™re so cute!

Uninstalling unnecessary apps and content might do the trick, but if youā€™re in a hurry to get somewhere, we suggest requesting a Bolt ride online, without downloading the app. Hop in the car and deal with your phone storage problems while enjoying an affordable ride to your destination.

If youā€™re using an older or entry-level device

If youā€™re not into carrying a touchscreen or fancy camera in your back pocket, your phone is probably a little more classic.

We believe that everyone should be able to get around fast and affordably, so we made sure that you donā€™t have to switch to a newer and more expensive phone model to do so.

Just type in m.bolt.eu, open Bolt online and get going!

When you have a poor internet connection

Running an app which requires location services to be switched on might be tricky if your internet connection is limited. If thatā€™s the case but you still need a ride, just open a browser on your computer or phone and request a Bolt without opening (ā€¦ or even downloading) the app.

If youā€™re running low on data

Thereā€™s no such thing as a free lunch, right? The same goes for mobile data. If youā€™re getting to the end of the month and running low on mega-bytes, it makes sense to switch to a web-based app ā€” like Bolt online.

If youā€™d prefer to order a ride from a desktop or tablet

Prefer to use a bigger screen? No problem! Just type in m.bolt.eu on your laptop or tablet, get a confirmation SMS on your phone and your driver will arrive in a few minutes to take you where needed.
