Bolt Launches in Cairo with Cheaper Fares than Uber

One of the largest ride-hailing services, Bolt, has debuted in Cairo. Due to its decision to launch in Cairo, it will be a strong rival to Careem, InDrive, and Uber.

The ride hailing service has launched an alluring deal for riders with its recent entry into Egypt: a 50% discount for six months, completely covered by Bolt. Drivers will also receive an exemption from the usual 15% commission.

Bolt Strategy In Cairo, Egypt 

Bolt’s recent incursions into Zimbabwe and Botswana are preceded by this expansion into Egypt. The action is in line with the company’s significant investment of €500 million ($542.8 million) in Africa, which represents a strategic plan to increase its footprint and create jobs for more than 300,000 additional drivers.

According to Bolt Egypt Country Manager Haitham Mansour, “Egypt is an important market for our entry beyond merely boosting driver revenues; we aim to ignite demand through competitive pricing.” “We guarantee drivers earn more while providing customers with attractive service fees by maintaining commissions significantly lower than our competitors.”
