Bolt Plus: Your Key to Affordable Travel in Malta

Imagine this: You’re standing at the bustling corner of Republic Street and Merchants Street in Valletta, flagging down a taxi. The driver quotes you a price that’s enough to make your eyes water. Sound familiar? It’s a scenario many of us have faced in Malta. But what if I told you there’s a way to beat those hefty fares and enjoy comfortable, reliable rides across the island?

Enter Bolt Plus, the best-value membership that’s been quietly revolutionising the way we get around Malta. You might have heard of Bolt, the popular ride-hailing app, but Bolt Plus is its lesser-known, yet incredibly generous sibling. Let’s look what makes this membership a breakthrough for locals and visitors alike.

Bolt Plus is a subscription service that offers members exclusive perks and discounts on Bolt’s ride-hailing and scooter services. It’s designed to make your daily commute, spontaneous trips, or tourist explorations more affordable and convenient. But what sets Bolt Plus apart from other memberships? Let’s break it down.

Bolt Plus members enjoy up to 50% off on ride-hailing services and free rides on Bolt scooters. Yes, you read that right. Free rides! With a monthly subscription of just €9.99, you can save a small fortune on your travels. Here’s a quick rundown of what you get:

• Up to 50% off on ride-hailing services (that’s taxis, folks!)
• Free rides on Bolt scooters, with no time limit (yes, really!)
• Exclusive access to Bolt Plus events and promotions

Let’s do some math. If you’re a regular commuter, those savings can add up to hundreds of euros a month. And with the free scooter rides, you can explore Malta’s beautiful coastal towns or buzz around Valletta’s historic streets without breaking the bank.

Signing up for Bolt Plus is a breeze. Here’s how you can become a member and start enjoying those sweet savings:

• Download the Bolt app from the App Store or Google Play Store if you haven’t already.
• Create an account or log in to your existing Bolt account.
• Tap on the ‘Bolt Plus’ tab in the app’s menu.
• Choose your subscription plan (€9.99 per month or €99 per year).
• Enter your payment details and start enjoying your membership perks!

Once you’re a member, using your Bolt Plus benefits is just as easy. When booking a ride, you’ll see the discounted fare if available. For scooter rides, simply unlock a Bolt scooter using the app and enjoy your free ride.

But don’t just take our word for it. We caught up with Maltese resident and frequent Bolt user, Maria, who had this to say about Bolt Plus:

“I’ve been using Bolt for ages, but since I signed up for Bolt Plus, it’s been a total breakthrough. I save so much money on my daily commute, and the free scooter rides are just the cherry on top. I can zip around Valletta or head down to Sliema without worrying about the cost. It’s made getting around Malta so much more enjoyable and affordable.”

As Malta continues to grow and evolve, so too does the need for affordable, convenient transportation. Bolt Plus is more than just a membership; it’s a commitment to making life in Malta easier and more enjoyable for locals and visitors alike. So, the next time you’re standing at that bustling street corner, remember that there’s a better way to get around. Bolt Plus is here, and it’s ready to revolutionise your travels.
