Partnership with Dubai Taxi Company

Bolt has partnered with Dubai Taxi Company (DTC) to bring its services to the UAE. The collaboration aligns with the city's vision of having 80% of taxi trips booked through e-hailing apps in the coming years.  

Mansoor Alfalasi, CEO of Dubai Taxi Company, highlighted that the initial fleet includes limousines from trusted fleet partners, including DTC vehicles. Future expansions will introduce taxi services and explore opportunities in other emirates, along with services like e-scooters, car rentals, and deliveries.  

Focus on Safety and Convenience 

Bolt emphasizes rider safety with features like in-app emergency assistance, trip anomaly detection, driver background checks, and speech-to-text incident reporting. The platform also supports ride-sharing and unmatched pairing for a better user experience.  

With its launch, Bolt adds more variety to Dubai’s thriving Dh6-billion taxi and e-hailing sector, giving commuters an additional choice for convenient and safe travel.
