You can have up to three stops in a single trip, the last one being the final destination on your journey.

Be sure to share your arrival time with your friends so they’ll know when to step out of the door.

Do I need to inform my driver that we’re going to make extra stops?

After thetrip has been started, the driver sees the route with all the stops on the map of his Bolt driver app. So, technically, your driver is aware that you’ll do multiple stops along the way. But if you wish to start a conversation, then it’s definitely a good ice-breaker.

The feature is being rolled out gradually and should be available for everyone soon. To use it, you’ll need to make sure that your Bolt app is updated to the latest version.

P.S. Did you know that you can get a discount on your next trip?
