What is Bolt insurance, and do I need it?
Driving for Bolt? Before you accept your first job, there's one thing you need to have in place: the right insurance.
Standard car insurance does not cover you for private hire work. As soon as you're carrying passengers for payment on pre-booked journeys, you're legally required to have hire and reward private hire insurance. Without it, you're uninsured on the road, and that can mean fines, points on your licence, and even your vehicle being seized.
Bolt also requires proof of valid private hire insurance before you can complete your sign-up and start accepting trips. So do your local council and, if you're driving in London, Transport for London (TfL). It's a legal requirement, not just a box-ticking exercise.
INSHUR's private hire insurance is designed for licensed drivers exactly like you, quick to set up, easy to manage, and built to meet PCO and Local Authority licensing requirements straight out of the box.
